Monorail delay

Cadaverous Pallor · 12-13-2006, 09:04 AM

My insider clued me in to this...yes, of course I have an insider!

Quote:

the scheduled return to (limited) monorail service has been postponed one week. The monorail is now scheduled to return to limited service on December 21, 2006. it will likely remain in limited (one-way / bi-directional) service through New year's Day, 2007, when it will once again go out of service until the completion of construction for Finding Nemo.

Resort Hotel Guests will likely be given priority boarding during peak operating hours over the Holiday period.

It's been too damn long since my last Monorail ride. I wonder why they're bringing it back up for less than two weeks? Why even bother?

Probably due to the crowds the last week of December? Another way out of the park.

That's my guess. Anything that would help swallow up bodies when the park is at peak is a good thing.

Every little bit helps. It was nice that the Matterhorn opened early.

They did it specifically to thwart me. By delaying until the day after I leave, they deny me my monorail goodness, and yet remain able to taunt me with the knowledge that it will be running while I'm stuck back at work. Oh, the humanity!

Does your inside source know what happened to the loop and when it is coming back?

Inquiring minds want to know...
Skeptical minds know better.

I know what happened to the loop (I'm assuming you mean the one on California Lamin').
They're modifying supports to the ride for access to/from Midway Mania's main show building. They're replacing the loop with a new one with a slightly different support structure. The ride should reopen soon, (unless we get REALLY lucky and a crane falls on/or crashes into it.).

CoasterMatt · 12-13-2006, 12:12 PM

They've also modified some other supports on California Snorin' to accommodate Midway Mania/Madness whatever the hell they're calling it.
There are photos on Westcoaster.net of that work.

It's a shame they'll have to tear it down permanently when I become King of Disneyland.

The loop's back, no big deal...
