It would probably be a while for orange to be tested. They're working on blue then once that one is good to go then maybe they'll test orange. For now, I'm content with red as long as they get it working well enough to use all day.

It shouldn't be too long. When I say put up on the tracks, I mean put it on line, and it stays in the shop, and they can work on it. When its out of the shop its much more difficult for it to get any work. Remember the monorail is still in many pieces, and needs a bit of work. Red was in the shop for quite a while, and blue was in the shop for a few weeks.

I was at the park on the 18th of Aug waiting for the monorail when the blue one came into the dock. I asked the CM if we were riding that one, because I had never seen it before, but unfortunately she sayd they were only testing it, and that was only the second time that the blue one had ever been out in daylight. that day the red one wasn't running also so it was only the purple one doing all the trips, they didnt allow people to stay on for the round trip because it was to busy.

I really really hope they aren't waiting for the temps to cool down to bring the Mark VII's out on a regular basis. If that's the case, say hello to monorail operation 40% of the year only.

Monorail Orange is still in multiple pieces (The last two cabins have not been joined to the rest) it is expected to be about 4 weeks until it will be out for test runs. that of course is assuming Blue does not provide any unexpected problems.

They probably won't be carrying passengers for a little while. I'd say in the next couple of weeks after the summer they might. For now they're just testing it.

Yep, that's what I meant.

Still very disappointed that these new BEAUTIFUL Monorails have no AC in every cabin =/

laffertyangus · 09-07-2008, 02:41 PM

Do you expect that red and blue will be running during the holiday season?

SplashMan · 09-07-2008, 02:51 PM

probably. I'd expect that by then it will be cool enough to run them all day.

I'm guessing we'll have to wait and see, won't we? It would be nice if they could at least run the red one, if not both of them.
