Re: Any word on color?
I actually have tickets again this year making 3 years in a row for me. The only reason it's not 4 is because I felt school was more important in 2008.CBeilby wrote:Scarier yet? Purpura wants to do a costume if we should ever go to Blizzcon... Barrens Chat!
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

(anyone want to photoshop that one?)
Before leaving the rails, I was talking to the head manager for monorail shop.. and he confirmed that the advertising department was considering making all the monorails a moving bill board and that when Coral was done being stickered for Tron... that they are going to look into doing it with all the trains...
since then, the plan has been placed on hold till after the 40th anniversary ( per hearsay ). The ads where going to show case Disney Entertainment, Cruises, Movies, Theme Park attractions.. etc...

Just FYI.. most of the Mark IV's are buried under about 15 feet of dirt in the graveyard behind the Magic Kingdom.. as far as I know... only part of Red made it out a live and was sold by Mouse Surplus... the rest where gutted and parted out as much as they could and then buried in a mass grave....Mr. D. wrote:Monorails being controlled by Android now?
Coral became TRON and is going back to Coral now.
Peach is a rebuild of Pink from the accident in 2009.
They took the good cab from the wrecked Pink and replaced the wrecked cab on Purple making a whole train, then painted it Teal.
Now they had a good train with no cab units. So they got cabs for the old Pink, and made a whole train and are now painting it Peach.
*NOTE: Reverse Purple and Pink where necessary

Most guest don't even know what theme park they are in, and you expect them to know what direction a monorail normally runs?avengador1 wrote:From what I heard, some color monorails were more temperamental that others, Red being a prime example of this. Some days they would bring it online only to take it back to the shop a couple of hours later. To do this they would have to shut the Express side monorail down to guests and this would only confuse and anger them, especially when they see the monorail running on that beam. I guess they never noticed when it was going in the opposite direction of normal travel.
Yes, and red was sold a a guy in Georgia where it sat in his yard for a while and was sold again to an unknown buyer. But what does that have to do with the mark VI's?Doctor McKey wrote:Just FYI.. most of the Mark IV's are buried under about 15 feet of dirt in the graveyard behind the Magic Kingdom.. as far as I know... only part of Red made it out a live and was sold by Mouse Surplus... the rest where gutted and parted out as much as they could and then buried in a mass grave....

Re: Any word on color?
A couple of days ago at a TL ticket booth I was trying to figure out what kind of tickets to sell a Guest who wanted to go to Disney World. She got very upset when I told her she was in Disney World and was trying to find out what she wanted.Mr. D. wrote:Most guest don't even know what theme park they are in, and you expect them to know what direction a monorail normally runs?
Even with the placemat it didn't help (and this appeared to be a person for whom American English was her native tongue.)

I think MouseSurplus.com picked it up and parted it out.

Re: Any word on color?
Mr. D... First off.. I only mentioned it because someone mentioned that they ( being Disney ) probably used parts from the Mark IV's to rebuild it.. I know this to be false because the systems are not compatible and the size diffrence between the cabs and cars of the IV and the VI's are to great.Mr. D. wrote:Yes, and red was sold a a guy in Georgia where it sat in his yard for a while and was sold again to an unknown buyer.
