Express Monorail Problems..

[JWG]

No.... Monorail Purple (the last of the Mark III chasis) has been stripped for parts for the other 3 trains...

That's too bad, reduced capacity on the line then.
Maybe it's time to actually get all new trains versus rebuilding the old chasis' when these are replaced in 20 years.

Am I the only one who finds the new monorail orange hideous? It looks like the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile to me. :dazzle:

Yeah, a lime green I think might have been a better color. Or why not go with purple? That was the other Mark V color after all? I guess they went back to the original colors of when the monorail first opened? :shrug:

what's with the color orange and the 70's? First the Monorail, then the Space Mountain sign :lol:

 

[hardcard]

Orange wasn't introduced until 1987, when the new Marks came online.. there were only 2 trains on the original line... Red and Blue.... according to myth, the colors were walts Idea.. Red and Blue, with White track..

And of course, the old SSE sign! (Even though that was early 80s. It was a carry over I guess. :lol

The Camera Center still has it's original colors, much to my Fanboyish delight. Still take a pic of it every trip.

Oh. I could've sworn orange was an original color... hmmm.

I'm as much of an EPCOT fanboi as anyone but the camera center and the shop on the other side need to be repainted...10 years ago. Those colors are terrible!

Agreed. They need new signs too! That whole area should match the look of the SSE entrance, from paint colors to lighting to signage. Right now, it all clashes kinda poorly. :shrug:

And now I realize, yellow was one of the colors way back when over in Disneyland, not orange. :hammer:

Yes...Everything in EPCOT must look like that sign and match.:king: Bring back the 80's look to the park.:king:



:lookaroun:fork:

Actually, if that means the look of Communicore comes back, I might be able to deal with that (though I really like the new look of The Land over the original look).

So Walt was a Bear, I knew he had good family roots.

Yes, the new Land is VERY nice. The rest of EPCOT should take a hint from it. And MS. And ProjTmrw.:lol:

Yeah, CommuniCore needs the most help visually...

Must be a Scottish thing. :shrug:


Bear...Bear Bryant?

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

Oh yes indeed.
