A mere flesh wound. Barely a scratch!

I think the thing I like most is that the assembly was done by people in lab coats.

Was this work done by Disney, or the the monorail builder?

Martin Marietta, they built the first 10 monorails.
Disney built Mark IV Lime and Coral.
All Mark VI trains were built by Bombardier.

Great pics! Any word on the supposed holiday overlays?

I think if they were going to do a holiday overlay they would have already done it. The Halloween one was easy because they already had the stickers since they use them on the airport trams, I don't think (I could be wrong) that they made stickers for the Christmas party for the trams.

Ha! Yeah, well, you know monorails need to be assembled in a sterile environment.
Agreed. More monorail pics.
It does look long. But weren't the passenger cars shorter, or were there fewer? I don't remember much about the old Marks, except for the CMs having to slam the doors, and the low head room and plastic benches.

You sure it was on the resort line? If it was, it would have appeared that the light cycles were going backwards, because on resorts we drive from the other cab. It does make appearances on express because for Epcot and resorts, the trains need to be switched to/from the express line to get to/from shop.
probably confused with express, tho Coral was running the express beam a few hours last week, possibly was again last night. it's possible you happened to see it in MK during the switch where it was either coming from or going back to shop.
You're right, resorts are driven from cab 6, so not only would it look like it's backwards, it breaks the show, and it tron sticker wasn't funded to run the resort loop.

Sometimes what would happen is...well when you're sending an Epcot train out from shop it sometimes causes a backup depending on the crowds. So when they bring it out from shop, sometimes they will run it on express for an hour if there aren't already 4 express trains. So when they catch up, then it goes to Epcot which is usually a pretty quick switch.
I drove Coral for several laps on express, and it was interesting because it turned a lot of heads as I cruised through the resorts.....

They loook great...but you'll gladly appreciate our monorails the first time you bump your head on their ceiling...their monorails are also alittle more bumpy in my opinion...i think the beam is narrower so it takes the curves alittle "jerkier".
