How about an entire new fleet? Doubt TDO would spend money on it, but it's needed.

Would it really be that expensive? I could even see them finding a sponsor to pay for it.

I don't see the problem with it. I see buses and trains all the time with advertising wraps. It looks really good.
Kind of like how NASCAR vehicles looking great with sponsor decals. Unsponsored or plain cars... not so much.

They shouldn't even think about a new fleet for a minimum of 4 years since that's when the oldest train will reach its life expectancy.

Really not trying to be negative, but I do not like this. I can't believe everybody is so pumped about it. It's a monorail wrapped with a sticker. There's nothing innovative, creative or exceptional about it. If you think it looks cool, OK then. But it's not a genius idea. I suppose if it were any other movie, it would be the second coming of the BAH. But everyone likes TRON, so it's okay. :shrug:
It's only temporary, so whatever. But I really hope they don't do it again with the next big release.
I prefer the yellow side.

But that's the thing, the monorails shouldn't feel like some crummy city bus that's plastered with advertisments. They (like everything else in WDW) shouldn't remind you of the real world and should feel clean and futuristic.

Has anyone actually ridden one of these? Regardless of whether you like the look of the vehicle wraps, if the windows are wrapped, the rider's experience is diminished. My city transit system has a full wrap bus and the decals block sooooo much light. The celebration balloon stickers on the monorail were bad enough - they block the beautiful highway in the sky view for the rider, not to mention making photography really difficult. I would expect the interior of the TRON monorails to be dark and dreary...and covered with lots of tiny little dots.

I think they look good from the outside. Sleek.
My only worry is the darkness on the interior. Monorails have windows for a reason. Having a half-blocked view of the beautiful landscapes of Epcot, MK, Seven Seas, and other things is kinda bad.

Anything that gets the monorail beams cleaned and the monorail painted is a good thing. The fact that it's advertising doesn't bother me. If you don't like in your face advertising, EPCOTs got to be a tough day for you already.
I like the white side myself.
Now if they could only get the monorail up to 120mph from the TTC to EPCOT.... :lol:

I took some shots last night at dusk. I thought I would share. It sort of caught me off guard.

Just a note. It is infact one monorail with the Blue Bike on one side and the yellow bike on the other. Easy mistake as you can only take a picture of one side at a time.

I second that...
It's interesting, I think it was a bad movie choice though. I'm definitely not a fan because god knows how long it will remain up. I am a fan of fully painted monorails though. :brick: - nods -
