Love the look! Saw it in action today, looks very sleek. Here is video from Inside the Magic taken today!

While I don't like the billboard idea, I dig the color.

Would be interesting if monorail blue was truly blue.

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

Okay, I know it's not for everyone's taste, and I'd be opposed to any permanent change... but to me, this looks pretty cool.

Having looked at the picture provided by CptnSkippy, I have a little less impressed as I was with an earlier picture that showed the TRONorail at a bit of a distance. Still, overall, not bad, though I agree that it should be a limited-time thing, and they shouldn't try and use this form of "promotion" too much.

First of all, I love TRON the original. Yes, I am a geek.

That said, the tron wrap looks so much better than the Stitch or balloon wrap that I am thrilled to have it on board. Wonder if we'll put Tron wrap on buses too now....get rid of those ugly balloons.

So where do the Deltas show up for teal, lime, coral? Hmmm?


Wonder if I can get a TRON smilie? THAT could be my smilie...MAPO ==> TRON cycle..whaddya think?

BW, you're not the only person who thought of the unfortunate connection with the Light Cycles... :shaker:

One downside I have to the sticker-wraps is that it makes for *horrible* photos out of the cabin windows... Yes, you can see out through the perforated stickers, but cameras are another matter.

Seriously you're still around?

Right because all of the pre parade advertisments they've done since the 80s wasn't bad at all. But slap a promo on a monorail and it's death to Disney.
