Monorail Teal?

[WDW Vacationer]

:sohappy:

And a 12th next year! What color, then?

There was alredy 12 right?


So they are putting parts together to make 1 for now?

I like that a color is retired. Fitting,subtle tribute.

Seems as though, and so do I. It's very good.

We had 12, two were damaged, one is returning. Don't know if #12 will be new.

The Orlando Sentinel confirms Monorail Teal:

It also says that a 12th monorail will be added next year.

Very fitting.

But seriously, what would be Monorail 12? A sleek & dark Innoventions Blue? :lookaroun

Where would they get the new monorail? Those things are not just lying around at the local store.

Would they or could they purchase a new model like the existing Mark VI? Transport an old Disneyland Monorail? Purchase one of the new Mark VII and run it along side the older one? Build a new Mark VI?

Im keeping my fingers crossed violet would be the next color after teal.

"Train 11" - Monorail Teal - is a combination of the undamaged cars from Pink & Purple.

"Train 12" - color unannounced - will need the time consuming repairs before it can be put into service.

Disneyland monorails don't fit on the WDW beams. DL's are smaller.

Teal huh. I like it. Especially if it's the same shade that the San Jose Sharks use.

Great solution that addresses multiple facets of the issue. Retiring the colors is a nice subtle tribute to the incident; reusing the undamaged parts makes financial sense; the new color helps to keep moving forward.

I approve (because I know they care what some guy on the internet thinks )

Here's another story I read about the new monorail:

Disney only needs to rebuild the 2 damaged end cars OR have Bombardier build two new end cars. I bet they rebuild it's cheaper.

Very nice. I wonder if they will make merch off the new color.:shrug:

That is assuming they can be repaired. Some things just can't be repaired.

Umm...yeah! :hammer: :lookaroun :lol:

You are correct that's why I said OR buy 2 new end cars from Bombardier the original makers of these trains. BUT knowing WDW if there is anyway possible they will try to rebuild those cars. I'm sure which ever way it is handled the new train will be restored to brand-sparkling-new with a yet to be determined snazzy new stripe color which will have have every WDWMagic-teer riding on it.

Fun!:lol::lookaroun

Disney completely missed the boat on this one. They should have called it:

It's just like Teal, but with a much more pretentious name! I also nominate:

or

For train number 12.

(I confused the heck out of the automatronic at D23 with these colours )

It wouldn't surprise me if the cars adjacent to the ends involved (#2 on one train and #5 on the other) were also damaged and needed repairs/replacement depending on the extent of the damage. The linkages between the end cars and those adjacent cars would've been under a lot of force.

I'm sure if that were an issue it was already taken care of. Remember that the car linkages are also under a lot of pressure if the train is getting a tow.
