OK, am just happy with no more danged balloons or Stitch stickers! :wantsmil:

Now, do they have delta for say lime or coral?

Do you call it Tron blue ?? :confused:

Yes, off on special assignment..(sound like Clark Kent now huh?) so have not been playing on the rail since Tron came on...LOL

Yes, I miss my rail family...but when the Mouse sends you to get a tan on the clock ..well :biggrin:

And I need a TAN...bad! :wizard:

Coral is the only one with TRON. We still call it Monorail Coral. No delta. Coral is going to be the only train for now with the TRON art. So for now the deltas aren't an issue.

Lime, Coral, and Teal have deltas to distinguish them from Green, Pink, and Blue at a distance.

According to BW they are still calling the Tron train Coral.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Or just copy the image form the computer, go to a vinyl shop and have them printed up, and slap them on real quick. :D

WOW...all nice and shiny and BLUE....I love blue...so mellow.

I think that the smilie will be it....cause that way you never figure out why I picked MAPO as a handle. So many important meanings at Disney.... :p:

Thanks Zazu!

I gotta say I really like that Tron wrap on coral.

Today she was coming out of the roundhouse on the express beam and she looked HOT. She had to hold about 3 times so I got an extended view of her as we were doing a visual inspect. Did not matter if she was out of roundhouse, 'hiding' in the tree line, or just outside of MK bus loop...she looked really good. :eek:

Maybe is helps that coral is the only Tron-o-rail. Some of the guest reactions are outstanding too.. OOOOOHHHHHSSS...and AHHHHHHHHH for a monorail! :D:

Seeing it first hand was cool. I like it, they did a good job getting the whole train covered. Riding in it was not bad at all, it was night time, but I was still happy, and yet sad. It was our last ride on the monorail, EPCOT to TTC.

Seeing it up close, I really like the paint job portion. Would like the powers that be to consider a full colored train as opposed to just the stripe.

The wrap was ok. I like the temporary setup, but hope that portion is just temporary.


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