Monorail Expansion

[marni1971]

Sorry, Martin, I'm not quite sure how accurate your map is. My concern with it is the added section of track along the straightaway between the Transportation and Ticket Center and the Contemporary. The station for the Mediterranean would be right at Pylon 17, right on the existing beamway as I understand, and is even marked on the power consoles in the Monorail Central tower.

Hehe... that`s okay. Yep, the Med Station is on the current resort loop:

The red squiggle was originally for the Venitian Resort:

Say, if there`s any chance of a small photo of the control center console with the Med Resort label please PM me!

Interestingly I`ve also seen a set of plans from 1981 that has no station for the Med resort. The plan above is from a later date, thankfully.

I, like many, would love a monorail expansion. I believe that in the long run it could help with ware and tear on the roads around the property created by the busses and cars. I thin kif disney wanted to relay make it lucrative, they would have the monorail go right ito some of the resort areas to maybe give outside guests a view into what it's like to stay on Propery, meanwhile picking up the guests that are staying there. As with the 'proposed' expansion map, I don't think they would need to direct all the new tracks back to the ticket and transportation center, but instead make Epcot a new transportation center that would connect the rest of the monorail destinations with the old routs.
