New Transportation to MGM and AK

[coasterridr]

I have heard rumors here about a possible light rail that would link MGM and AK to Epcot. I have to say, you can ride a bus anywhere in the country...no Disney Magic there, you could say the same thing for a light rail system. I know they claim expense as a problem for a monorail....so why not a peoplemover system, they could make a expanded system like the pre-Epcot plans called for. Does anyone here know the cost comparison between the monorail and a peoplemover. Thinking about that it seems like the system would need two seperate tracks, one from Epcot to MGM and another from MGM to AK. Any thoughts?

It's best not to bring this up again.

"Monorails...let's not forget the monorails. They are cheap, environmentally friendly and are just around the corner!"

I could see Disney putting a light rail in. Just the other week I saw a clearing east of MGM off of World drive that would lead to the AK area --- get your hopes up!

Here we go again lol....

Yeah if you do a quick search on monorail expansion u will find one of the longest threads on here.

Basically it isnt going to happen for a number of years, if at all.

what is a lightrail? any different from a monorail?

Oye. Read the monorail threads. Lightrail = trains, mostly on the ground. Still not ideal for WDW's traffic pattern, but a lot less expensive than the monorail, and therefore more likely than a monorail extension.




I heard a rumor from a CM loading people on Peter Pan that Disney's next transportation system will be using the transporters from Star Trek. Its true! A CM told me, it has to be right!

And people are afraid to use the biometric scanners.

Why go trekkie? I always felt that the next transportation system from MGM to AK should be a giant circus cannon that shot guests out of MGM and into a giant net strung between two trees at conservation station. :lookaroun

What would you do about the winds though? If theres a nice hurricane nearby you could have a big problem!

. Never though about those nasty things. But then again if a hurricane did come along Disney would probably think of something (a new e-ticket attraction). Same thing with massive inland floods (brand new e-ticket).


How about removing the flower cart that Lucky the dinosaur is towing and strapping on a few dozen TTA ride cars. Could you imagine the glares of the people travelling down World Drive.

Yeah, but imagine how long the line to get fastpasses will be.
