So, I noticed that this was your first post and thought that we deserved a welcome, because I try not to make exceptions to my welcoming policy, so please allow me to offer you a warm* welcome to that piece of the internet that is SGT. I am sure the Marsupial Welcoming Committee will be along some in the foreseeable future to give you the official welcome.

*warm, in this instance, is actually more like hot**, extremely hot

**hot, in this instance, means that I have accidentally set you on fire in my excitement of meeting someone new

Tronorail Coral was spotted the other day sticking out of the monorail shop. Apparently they had to actually paint the cockpits on both ends, the rest will be sticker-wrapped.

And it was mentioned on Board Y that it could be on the beam as early as tomorrow.

I didn't like the idea at first... (was never a fan of the stitch take over, and the balloons can go -- i'll take the nice clean look of the trains).

However, the look has grown on me, and I like the sound of a Tronorail.

Guess we'll see how they look on the beam.


Parties of 33 should consider dividing their parties into two groups of 16 and a half each.

I haven't decide whether I like the look or not. I love the dark color, but the rest is to be determined.

I never saw the original TRON, it was a little before my time. I never saw the whole movie, but I do remember one scene. The Lightbike scene.

Watch that, and tell me what you think I might have a problem with, regarding putting the Lightbikes on the side of the MONORAIL.

Were it not for the nature of the Lightbike scene, I would have no problem with it. I could learn to live with it.

No one will ever think of the bikes crashing while looking at the depictions on the side of the Monorail.

Compared to other bad redecoration ideas they've had (see: Cinderella Castle Birthday Cake), this one may take the... well, you know.

The reaction of our guests, and whether they think of that one, will be the deciding factor as to whether I am willing to work around this new paint scheme.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

I loved TRON, still do. I didn't think about this aspect, I was just thinking of how cool the Lightcycles are! Now that you said this, they should have done Yellow and Orange or Red, blue was used by the bad guys.

If guests do say something, I'd just tell them that these two light cycles are in two separate training grids and there is no way they could cross paths.

Saw video on Twitter of one on Epcot. They look cool, its a pretty solid design so it doesn't look as tacky as the dumb (peeling) balloons.

Here it is, took this a few hours ago. Not as bad as I would have thought. Oh...and the concept art...makes it look like it's 2 different trains...but it's the same train. The side with the yellow faces Future World, and the other World Showcase.

I think that the colors are cool, but I'm still totally against the idea of using the Monorails as moving billboards.

At least they aren't doing it to the whole fleet.
