What do you want to go on next... the monorail coaster, the monorail dark ride, or the monorail sing-along?

We can make the sing-along happen anytime! “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear!”

Clickbait has a new article about the monorail rumors. They're now saying that Disney probably didn't order any new monorails from Bombardier. Thoughts?

Based on financial reports from Bombardier. We kinda knew they hadn't been ordered yet. Nonetheless, @marni1971 has hinted they're working on it.

¡Todos cantan conmigo!
«¡Por favor! ¡Por favor!
¡Manténganse alejado!
¡Manténganse alejado!
¡Manténganse alejado de las puertas!
¡Olé!»

Just because a contract is not signed doesn't mean Bombardier may not be moving forward with procurement or even building new monorail's. All they need is upfront funding from Disney.

Haha, no. You don’t get ANY money from Disney without a contract. And usually that’s a contract you probably want to spend a few months letting your lawyers figure out all the ways Disney built in to benefit them and cheat you out of paying what they said they would.

Then Disney doesn't get monorail's when they need them. Advanced funding on an ATP does happen while negotiations take place. I know this is how we do it in Aerospace with contracts this large and companies larger than Disney.

Disney is notorious as a bad company to work with. I’m sure even Bombardier would want to have everything clearly in writing since they lost out on their last deal with Disney.

Yes working on it. Nothing finalized yet.

Does working on it imply they went and did a full RFP for this, not necessarily direct to Bombardier?

Or are they still trying to justify capital?

 

[jbolen2]

What are the odds they charge for the monorails or just a transportation pass in general to justify the expense.

The cost is passed on to the guest through indirect methods already.

Wasn’t there a rumor that the theater at MK was canceled so that money could be used for the monorails instead?

Yes, Our Insider said it was incorrect. It was used elsewhere in MK.

That’s flat out false. Disney isn’t “notoriously” bad to work with whatsoever. They’re just as hard, complicated, and filled with as many legal roadblocks as every massive, global entity. Maybe certain business segments or individuals within the company, but in my experience they’re no different than any other entertainment conglomerate. I’d much rather have Disney at the table than Comcast any day.

My close friend owns a company that is a primary supplier of materials to costuming for parks and resorts. The initial setup to become a vendor is very involved, however he said their system for invoicing and ordering is very straightforward and they always pay their bills on time.

I highly doubt Disney would be late on their bills ever
