As your hubby mentioned, it has a downside.

I could be wrong, of course, but hmmmmm.

From the article in the OC Register:

Quote:

Bench seats will face the windows, allowing visitors a full view of the parks, Downtown Disney and the Disneyland Hotel. The capacity and speed will remain the same.

Yes, one side's view will suck (even moreso in Tomorrowland than in the Esplanade ... but at least there will be something to look at there besides finding your own car).

What if they're all facing the same way? Like, I dunno... a ToT vehicle?

Are monorail pilots really known for their canoe boy good looks? All fresh-faced, right outta monorail school, chipper and ready to play with the controls?

SHINY!

I like that it doesn't depart too much from the style of the Mark IVs, which I have always adored.

It's like if you handed the Mark IVs to a 50's car enthusiast and said "paint this".

It's very lovely!

Morrigoon · 12-21-2007, 11:50 AM

Well, suffice it to say, they know how to drive the train into the Roundhouse, if you know what I mean

I wounder how long before they cover that gorgeous paint job with some ridiculous marketing overlay.

Well, this should pretty much ensure that our passes don't remain expired for too much longer. Can't have these babies gliding around the park without being able to check them out.

I cannot mojo NA. DAMN.

Hot monorail. Hot, hot, hot.

But not as hot as Coaster Matt's icon. Hello Cthulhu, I love you!
