Don't get me wrong I would love to see an 11th train come into service but I don't think that the NTSB finished their investigation yet.
Eeven if the NTSB recently released Pink & Purple back to WDW...I don't see how shop can fix one, get it working, AND paint it.
:shrug:
I'll believe it when I see it...

I kinda like our trains, in fact. If you want DL's, I could see why you would, but I prefer ours in our setting. Those would look weird in EPCOT, or even in the TTC.

Exactly what I was thinking. How about a completely new fleet of trains... not these smelly old ones. :brick:

Last I heard NTSB has recently released both trains back to Disney. Bombadier (sp?) was contacted long ago and parts to repair both trains are either on order or have been delivered. Don't take that to the bank as I only have it from one source and they are not related to rails or management.

I propose if Disney unveils teal for one monorail. Violet should be the other color to replace pink and purple monorails and retire the those 2 colors with a full military honor guard at the park.
The driver risked his own live to protect others on that monorail. Hes a hero in my book. If you were on that train you would say the same thing. I sat up in front with the driver that died When i was their last November.

Well, YEAH. But I imagine they're going to cross their "t"s and dot their "i"s after the DL fiasco...

Sorry if this offends anyone but... if I'm a parent going to the Magic Kingdom on a monoral and I hear or see an a Austin memorial then that kind of spoils some of the magic. What if a child asks what happened to him? It'd be very hard to explain that tradgedy. Maybe I'm crazy, but he should have an obscure memorial like on the side of a monorail are his initials. Something not blatantly obvious for the everyday guests, but something obvious for CMs and people who knew him.

Eh, a complete refurbishment, where you basically take the entire car apart, would get rid of the smell easily enough. :shrug:
WHOLE big problems with the ventilation systems and weight issues that caused major transportation problems the first year of operation/conversion.

I would think if WDW does a remodel of the Mark VI trains it would be done via Bombardier (a mass transit company with lots of experience), the builders of the Mark VI trains.
DL's new Mark VII's were redone with WDI having to dismantle a train to reverse engineer it to design the new trains. Under the new train bodies is the 1969 Mark III chassis. All the building was done by a company in Canada. (Not Bombardier)
Of course new spiffy trains would be very cool,too.

More than enough time. Monorail technology is leaps and bounds better, and that 99.9% reliability of our fleet has been tossed out the window due to their poor age.
A lil' bit of Disneyland's stylized design, but other than that, completely new trains.
