Should’ve came out of refurb today.I'm assuming at least 98% of this thread/forum have not. For those of us who haven't, can we get some sort of explanation?

All of the trains should be getting refurbs if they haven’t already. Don’t expect new monorails anything soon.Ah, I had no idea it was in refurb.
It might look a little differentAnyone ride monorail silver today?
YepIt might look a little different
Did they cancel the negotiations regarding the possible purchase of a new fleet?All of the trains should be getting refurbs if they haven’t already. Don’t expect new monorails anything soon.
Nothing was ever truly confirmed, and with how long that deal will take as well as the actual process of building and replacing, it will still be several years away at least, and the heavy refurbs show that Disney doesn't see it coming quickly either.Did they cancel the negotiations regarding the possible purchase of a new fleet?
Let’s just say that it wasn’t going to get done by the 50th like Disney would’ve originally wanted.Did they cancel the negotiations regarding the possible purchase of a new fleet?

Bombardier wasn’t the only company Disney was in talks with either but like I said nothing is imminent.Well we all know Bombardier has had issues making orders and that they are years behind in delay. I can’t imagine they were going to put a small fleet of 12 in front of a much larger client who was requesting a fleet large enough to handle an urban area.
Did they think because they were the Mouse House they’d jump them to the front of the line?
Enough extra cash would solve that problem, but with the state of basically everything else at the moment, that kind of extra padding isn't happening. Not a suggested way of running things either.Did they think because they were the Mouse House they’d jump them to the front of the line?
Sure, but Bombardier would probably be the much preferred company for this considering the current relationship as they have delivered before, and since all the automation and vehicle monitoring systems at the stations are based on the technology on the current monorails, it would be easier to use them again.Bombardier wasn’t the only company Disney was in talks with either but like I said nothing is imminent.
I really like how it specifies the name inside. Do all of the newly refurbed monorails have that? And is the black delta new as well? It all looks really good.
Yep new black delta. The interiors should all be getting this treatment I believe.I really like how it specifies the name inside. Do all of the newly refurbed monorails have that? And is the black delta new as well? It all looks really good.
It’s a single black delta. Part of the new paint job.Why is there a black delta on the color stripe? The purpose of the delta is to distinguish the difference with similar colors, there isn’t another color even close to silver.
I like the look of the inside though. Are the seats not blue or is that just the lighting in that photo?
