Looks like it is finally time to say goodbye Tronorail

[PirateFrank]

I didn't mind the Tron wrap on Coral for the first couple of weeks. Then it was starting to get more annoying and wasn't coming off! I am glad to see Coral again!

You wont see it for a while. AFAIK, the removal of the overlay wrap is destructive to the paint....forcing them to repaint the train. They're going to have to repaint coral before they can put it back into the train rotation....

I only saw two trains when I was there a couple weeks ago (orange-red with blue windows, and blue with purple windows). Do they have more than two trains?

Yes, they have three trains now. Red, Blue, and Orange. they had 4 before this last rebuild of the trains. they only run 2 at a time, with the 3rd in maintenance/overhaul.. and then they cycle through to the next, etc.

I actually think DL's monorails are more futuristic in their profile but less so in their color schemes. The bright colors seemed very retro, and I believe that was deliberate.

Yes, the current design was a throwback to the original design of the monorails from our 60's perspective of what the future held.

They didn't have that problem with the Nemo monorail at DL.

It should be like a car wrap... comes right off if your underlying paint (or gel coat in this case) is bonded properly.

The monorail bodies are fiberglass and probably use graphics instead of paint in most places

Good riddance to Tronorail

Oh you kids with your "Car phones" and "Laser Discs" and talking computers.

I wasn't really a huge fan of the Tronorail, it was kindof an eyesore to me. I understand that the current monorails must have a generic theme, but they seem somewhat outdated to me especially the interior.

I could definitely see the Mark VII monorail from Disneyland making it's way over here, the red color could maybe be a generic white and the beige/goldish color can be the Monorail color.
It won't look so futuristic and it wont clash with the surroundings.

The WDW Monorail is designed for Mass transportation, Disneylands is designed to be a fun little ride. If it did come overhere, it would have to meet the current capacity of the WDW Monorail

But we could only dream.

I would be excited about almost any new monorail design for WDW, but I think the Mark VII design should really stay out West, since it's based so heavily on the original DL monorail.

Glad its coming off. It was time.

 

[Brenton Price]

Wow saw it everyday at epcot. Going to be weird not seeing it anymore

 

[ryanduggers]

Why does everyone here talk about the Tronorail in the plural?

there was only with one with two-colored overlays

 

[JEANYLASER]

thanks for the info!

The new Disneyland monorails are already kind of like that:

I love Disneyland so much

The noses and roof were actually painted that dark blue color, and the rest is just a wrap. The deal was that the folks at TRON would pay for the re-paint. At the time Coral needed a re-paint, so that's why they chose it to be TRON-o-Rail for ~16 months.

Coral will be back out on the beams in about a month or so after some TL&C back in the Monorail Shop.

"Bervery Hills Chihuahua 2" is being released soon. Should we be worried?

I think everybody should be worried that such a horrible movie is being released.

 

[Sam Eagle 1776]

It was probably there for too long but I kinda expected the movie to be much better for getting a MONORAIL dedicated to it, can't remember any other movie covering a monorail

I'm pretty sure there were two of them, weren't there? The one that was all blue and then the one that was blue and gold.

Nope, only one. Blue on one side and yellow on the other.

haha, really? See's how observant I am....Saw it everyday for four months and never noticed. Well now I feel dumb. :hammer:

I liked the Tronorail and thought the wrapping was really pretty and well done.
