The Official Monorail Mark VII Thread - Page 2

Looks like this all is pretty likely, so this thread has now become the official 'Monorail Mark VII" thread.

astroZOMBIE · 01-30-2006, 07:42 PM

Hmmm... At first I read some of these post and wasn't too excited. I love that old monorail. But some new changes and such like the picture would actually look really good!

I hope it works out

disneygeek06 · 02-27-2006, 10:46 PM

its a change thats for sure but unlike POTC i dont think this one will be as disputed, theyre doing what walt would have wanted and keeping tomorrow land looking to the future. and thats always a good thing

Well if you wanted to see the same kinds of objections that Pirates is getting, make like WDW & put Stitch on the trains & in the spiel. That was pretty sad.

^^^(To DisneyGeek06) Yeah, as long as they don't change it into "Woody and Buzz's Happy-Fun-Time Monorail of Adventure" or some other crazy idea. The monorail seems to be the only ride/attraction at Disneyland that's immune from controversial movie-merger-makeovers (call them what you will, good or bad) and still maintains the same "world on the move" Tomorrowland concept.

^^^EDIT: This was an almost simultaneous post!

I hope the new speils are similar to the 90's, it made it more realistic...

RollingBoulder · 03-10-2006, 03:42 PM

^ How was it different in the 90's? I honestly don't remember.

The_real_simmer_3 · 03-10-2006, 05:48 PM

I think it had background music.

I also found that the Monorail closes on 11/1/2006 and opens 5/1/2007: http://www.mickeynews.com/Parks/Disn...rbSchedule.asp

Jeez that's a long time!

It didn't have background music as someone stated above, but in addition to the narrator, there were other voices in the background when the monorail approached the Disneyland Hotel, left the hotel, approached the Tomorrowland station and left the station. they would give the monorail/narrator permission to leave/depart the stations and the person talking to the passengers was different than today, todays speil sounds more like it did in the 80's. It's too plain and boring for my taste, but they did have to change it when they opened the DTD station, but in my personal opinion they didn't have to remove the other voices and narrator. But thats progress for you...

yea this all looks cool, can't wait for them to open, and form the concept art they look kind of like the very first monorails when the park opened, minus the bubble.

reillysix · 05-10-2006, 08:55 PM

I can't wait for the new monorials! I do have to say they look like the orignal ones though.

ryguy222 · 05-10-2006, 10:21 PM

^^yea i think that's what they are trying to go for. Who knows maybe there trying to bring the "classic" disney style back. That's why many believe the ppl movers are coming back.
