That's the resort beam. I wonder if they'll re-open the express beam and then fix this overnight?

structurally the beam looks to have no damage other than a scrape

I'm guessing they will install some sort of approach beams several yards before the monorail beam like they use at fast food drive throughs. Probably should also add them at the underwater bridge.

Murphy's Law.

PS- looks like a mechanical malfunction possibly.

Seems like the sort of thing you'd want to measure first.

The industry term for a situation like this is “cluster****.”

Is that a Disney owned vehicle or an outside contractor? Bet that was an awkward call from the driver.

"Yeah bud, just to let you know I've had a bit of an accident. No, no, nobody's hurt just I've kinda hit something. What have I hit? Well you know people are always saying they can't see the GOTG box at Epcot because they painted it? Well the same thing happened to me with the ................................. well the ..................................... the mon ........................... the monorail track. The grey kinda blended in with the .................... blue sky above it. Bud, bud ....................... you still there"

Monorails are back running today

 

[Figment2005]

The monorails were only down about 4 hours for this. They restarted operation around 6pm on Friday and ran the remainder of the evening.

Eh, we fix with a little wire.
