Have you been keeping up with the goings on in Disneyland?
It's really putting WDW's MK to shame.
We can only hope that Florida gets this kind of attention soon.
I really like these new monorails! Even more than TDLR's ( never thought I would say that). They look more aerodynamic.

And they're being designed right here! I live in Bristol! I should go sneak around and find more info! ;-)

Hey Connor. :wave:
I think you took my post the wrong way.(Biggest problem with the internet no emotions in typing).
I didn't say anything about right or wrong.
My post was to be enthusiastic, I'm excited about all the rehabs and new attractions that Matt O is bringing to DLR. And that all the attention that DLR is getting it's really putting WDW's MK to shame. As in I wish that the powers that be in Florida would put some attention into MK. Nothing about the monorail design. I meant DL overall.
I like the current WDW monorails better than TDLR's (except for those cool Mickey windows) and as for DLR's as we all know concept drawing are a lot different than the final product.
One more thing if the new monorails do look like the concepts I think they would look better in DL because they run through Tomorrowland they should look retro-future. WDW's don't they should look more stylish and they do.
Wow! Long post!

Ah, ok. I would defiantly agree that Ouimet is doing great things over at DL.
Yes, I also agree that they would work well in DL, but part of DL's charm is that it has a retro feel to it, but WDW's have a different "feel" to it. I've also seen the TDL's monorail, and (although you have to pay for it
) I think their monorail system looks great. I'll be interested to see what the future brings to the world's monorail system, but I'll always have a place for the current ones in my heart.

What will happen to the current ones? will the stripes be painted a different color and then be shipped off to WDW or some other disney resort? or suffer the same fate as those Los Angelos ones did....:dazzle:

The Mark V can't be used at WDW, the sizes are entirely different. The Mark V is situated on avery narrow track, while the Mark VI is located on a wider, more up-to-date, track.
So, unless DLP wants a new monorail system, the old trains will probably be scrapped. However, I might be wrong considering that Monorail Orange was taken to WDI in Glendale and was completely stripped.
Could someone explain to me, I forgot, I thought they were going to be completely new trains, but I also heard that they might have been chasis up re-builds.
Thanks
