Rumor New Monorails Coming Soon?

[Voxel]

The new ones still need electricity.

Battery power trains?!?! I mean they build one using a 1950s? Engine in Australia. They have solar at the station and solar on the roof. Down side with the real monorails, where do you put the battery.. do you remove passenger compartent for a battery bank. and are they a 100% proven safe for that work scenario. We saw the Batteries on a 787 erupt in flames and there are stories of Tesla's catching fire from time to time.

While that's a great idea, it's not like they can walk down to the local monorail dealer and buy the $399 a month special with special financing. From day of order it can take 5 to 10 years to see the delivery of a new train/monorail, and that timeline can slip if they decide to get bids from other companies or had more functionality/custom body work.

Disney is fully aware of that. Which is why plans should have been in the works long ago.

I stopped paying attention to this.

No new monorails but the ancient ones are getting a tramp stamp?

It's a classy tramp stamp though

New monorail "incident" sort of. Monorail was stopped with no A/C for 30+ minutes and guests had to open the emergency windows to get enough of cool air. A few people posting about it on twitter:

Ugh, why is the word "legitimately" used so much? As if someone would "legitimately" question the validity of a claim that children and infants were present in Disneyworld?

Oh good. It can be safely seen in wedding pictures.

And they still need electricity to run.

They should run during thunderstorms, then.

It will work!

Genius go back to 1985 when they commissioned the MK VI's!

They'll screw it up and Hollywood Studios will disappear. It's not worth losing my Tower for monorails that don't smell like pee.

Perhaps go back to 1935 and let Walt know about the dangers of smoking and drinking alcohol?

Some treat illegitimate children differently

To be fair it’s pretty hot today. Being trapped in a enclosed car in this heat can get really bad pretty fast.

I don't disagree but she is acting like the world is over. It's a minor inconvenience

I mean if it was a car on ground level it’s considsred a crime and has killed many people. Obviously they can remove the emergency windows, but they didn’t likely do that until it was really bad.

I just realized this is Monorail Silver. I guess new paint and seats doesn’t make monorails more reliable.

 

[s8film40]

Still no need to throw a hissy fit on Twitter. But that's the modern human for you, demand everything bow down to you. I have no sympathy for this woman and any other whiny guest

I mean I agree I’m not a fan of people using social media to complain. People use this means to complain about things as minor as getting a bad burger at a fast food place. This is a pretty legitimate issue though. I’m sure she’ll be taken care of. I’ve been in the situation before and it is pretty miserable.

vehicles can get deadly hot very quickly in the summer, this wasn't a minor inconvenience.

When the last such break down occurred, guests were told to open the emergency windows, too, which caused some to just fall out.

The a picture of a guest sticking their head out of a window went viral with the fake news of the windows falling out on their own (like the door incident, which was real).
