Monorail Expansion

Post by Monorail_Red » Tue Jul 27, 2010 11:55 pm

Well it hit the news, we're getting a small expansion. By small I mean just 62 feet.

http://thedailydisney.com/blog/2010/07/ ... expansion/

It's just an area to park a work tractor, which is not a bad idea at all. I would like to see a much larger expansion of the system, however.

Good deal. Expanding the track would be 'prohibitive' ,money wise that is. :(

Is it going to be covered?
Also realized the media is wrong again, some outlets are reporting that it will hold a spare train. As BW said in his (old) spiel, it's not known whether two monorails can successfully occupy the same space which would be required to fit a spare train on this magic beam.

It would be nice if it was able to do that...because there's a lot of small fixes that they send a train to shop for, it would be easier and save time to do it there.

Yeah, sorry I can't go back and edit it out. The media is just once again being idiots.

Yeah, I saw that, Red, made me think that they must need to get those tractors out a lot more than they used to...

I was sad this trip because I swear, the trains looked old to me- they really, really need to spend some cash on the system...

And the Tron thing!!! Yikes!!! Sorry just had to throw that in there lol
