Monorail Black to get Star Wars promo window decoration

[note2001]

Don't care for the planes at all. Nope. Yuck.(When I first saw them I thought they were cool, but that wore off fast.)
As for the monorail wrap, I can see the effect they were shooting for, but unfortunately the train itself is old and looks it. Guess it matches the dirty beams though. Had it been placed on a shiny new train, or had the wrap at least made it look like a shiny new train, it would be a bit better.

Be careful, you don't want to insult Disney here. You may upset some people.
I think the wrap on the window is inventive and a wonderful cost saving measure. Disney can do no wrong.

Oh boy don't I know it. The Disney advocates and guest relations folks come out of the woodwork to defend their gods.

To restate, the wrap is definitely inventive, wonderful, and I don't think anyone else on earth could have pulled it off the way that they have.

There, am I doing it right now?

I hate it

It really brings out the rust showing from the access panels.

She'll make point five past light speed. She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts!

The less monorail wrap there is, the better.

Adds nothing to the park experience, and arguably detracts from it.

Really, it's not a full wrap? How cheap and cheesy. They really do invest as little as possible in the monorail system, even when they use it for advertisement. So sad.

Agreed! I wish they did a wrap like Tron.

Perhaps a rubberized kevlar wrap to protect it in the event of another crash into a tug....

Quite true. Although seeing Tron zip through Future World would have been cool.

 

[Clamman73]

I would've have done a full wrap, but one side is the dark side w/ appropriate characters and vehicles and the other is the light side.

 

[lazyboy97o]

As with all the wraps, yuck.

 

[ford91exploder]

Dude as my folks said to me 'you are cruisin for a bruisin'

 

[Bluewaves]

Would be nice if the took a power washer and cleaned the train off before sticking on some stickers.

 

[Jen Marie]

Wow. That is the best they could do. The ones for Tron and Avengers were way better than that.

It's coming up end of quarter, gotta make the numbers look good besides it's Star Wars any thing we do the rubes will just lap it up...

 

[EOD K9]

Speaking of tying in other colors to a light saber, just make the monorail into one. Make one end wrapped as the hilt and the rest of the wrap as the blade. Bam!

 

[btriple]

Could it be a timing issue. You guys know better than I do but aren't they a train down? Doing a full wrap would have taken much longer to complete than just some window stickers. So without taking another monorail out of service just to put a wrap they just went with the windows.

A monorail down because of the crash? That shouldn't have been known about when these were being designed and manufactured.

I don't think they were just being cheap. It looks like it should be a good design, the desert reflecting in the windows of the train. Probably looked great in the CG version in the graphic designers office. Trouble is, as others said, on an old dirty train in the real world it just doesn't have the desired effect.
The Tron wrap looks more like a giant billboard, I think here they were going for something more subtle, elegant and arty for Star Wars, but it just didn't quite work in the real world.

 

[wdisney9000]

May as well just add those stupid balloons and their journey towards the lameness will be complete

I dont think anyone else picked up on what you did there. Bravo.

 

[Kman101]

It's OK. I'd have preferred a full wrap but it's fine for what it is. My problem is the dirty monorail. I've said for a long time now these things need a good cleaning and paint job. They could really re-do their fleet and they aren't. New carpet? Whoopee.
