Agreed. Retiring Purple would be an easy move to make without negative consequences for the company.

Wow...and i thought i was the only one who noticed this. I always thought it was just my imagination, but EVERYTIME i saw Pluto at the end of the various MK Parades' after the incident years before i ALWAYS saw it as a nice 'insider' tribute to that CM. I figured it was just me seeing it as that, but it is really nice to hear that this was indeed done as a intentional tribute.
Awesome, and it is indeed a fantastic tribute in a personal sort of way.

Hmmm.
There is already...
Red (Pink)
Orange Coral
Yellow Gold
Green Lime
Blue
(Purple)
Black Silver
I could easily see something like teal or brown. Maybe Magenta or Navy or Turquoise?
They seem to have color variations on most "main" colors except blue and purple.

What was done for the CM who was killed a few years ago when he was run over by a parade float?
What was done for the CM who was killed on the Triceratop Spin attraction?
A CM was killed on Triceratop spin?

They need a special monorail called 'The Austin Wuennenberg', with its own special color scheme.

Lets be realistic here... Disney won't commemorate anything.. He won't get a sticker, a coin, or a collectable plate... The last thing disney will want to do is remind guests that a CM was crushed to death in one of their monorails...
They'll commemorate his memory with a check for several million dollars.. After that, the family will sign a release of liability, and this entire thing will fade into memory..
Not trying to be harsh here, but if you think they are going to break the 'magic' with anything publically commemorating the CM's untimely demise, you're insane.

Personally, I'd like them to bring back a lighter shade of purple and call it "Figment".

I was thinking the same.
Keep it on the EPCOT Track and have it pay homage to Austin.

good luck with that... you probably have a better chance of them redoing Journey and having the quality match the original attraction

If recent plans and rumors come to light...:shrug:
But what does that have do with the new Monorail?

That would be the best! When we lost a local area EMT, we took the ambulance and now have the star of life with "In Memory of Earle Davis" on the side.
It would be nice to see the same with a monorail theme on his monorail.

In baseball, often times they merely put the initials/player number (which would obviously not be applicable in this situation) on a patch or something. A similar initials may be a great way to honor the CM. It is a subtle reminder to those who know, and encourages those who do not know to ask questions about its presence on the outside of the car, which will allow his legacy to live on.

Again, it's not going to happen.. I'll eat crow if it does, right here.. but there is NO WAY they are going to do ANYTHING that reminds guests of death when they enter the 'Place where dreams come true'... sorry.... I didn't say he doesn't deserve rememberance, just a simple factoid.
