Feel like we probably would have seen it by now as it's used for promotion prior to the movie and it comes out in like four weeks.
5 weeks to be exact

Oh, in that case then yes, it'll be coming.

It's a symbol of futuristic optimism not an advertising platform.

Fitting indeed! Especially because Disney is apparently pulling out of the business of optimistic futurism just like the rest of the world.

I know they have done it in the past. It disgusted me then and it disgusts me now.

I meant the monorail industry needs a new leading manufacturer. I'm not 100%, but it appears that Bombardier (the high end producer of monorails and provider of the last Walt Disney World Fleet) has been literally extorting the Disney Company with extremely inflated costs for the monorail and they have been charging to build new systems for over $200 million a mile. This is compared to Scomi Monorails who have built monorail systems in India, Malaysia, and Brazil for about $30 million a mile. A new company that offers a new monorail system that appears to be even better than Bombardiers is BYD, which stands for Build Your Dreams. Although they are currently being sued by Bombardier for claims of copying designs or something. Hopefully BYD wins the battle with Bombardier and begins to build new monorail systems all over the globe including Walt Disney World. Here are pictures from BYD:
Their company is even backed by Warren Buffet.
AND Leonardo DiCaprio is their spokesperson in China!
Build Your Dreams (BYD) might be the company that makes the monorail technology relevant again and allows us to redevelop our urban centers with this very superior mass transportation technology for urban settings.
I keep saying all they need to do to perfect the technology is create very visually appealing safety evacuation walk ways between the beams or on the sides of the beams, and also make the columns very visually appealing
Look that guy found some better columns! lol, those are actually from our Nation's Capitol Building!
That's what Bombardier provided to Las Vegas, the railing and walk way looks really cheap even though they charged a very unfair price of over $200 million per mile and the're a visual obstruction because they look like temporary scaffolding
A superior company should add visual architectural value to this construction element by building it with a visually attractive design that would not be a visual obstruction because it is very pleasant to look at

No wraps. Trains are being painted.

Blue has already been done, and orange is currently in the booth.

That still doesn't mean they can't wrap them once the paint dries

They are not going to risk damaging the new paint with a wrap. So, yes, it means they won't wrap them.

BINGO, Considering they were likely damaged in the first place by the wraps.
