Attention all monorail personnel!

[Big Wallaby]

14) How many miles of track are there on the entire Walt Disney World Monorail System, including switches and spurlines?
[spoiler]14.5 (or 14.7) miles[/spoiler]Correct

15) Monorails Coral and Lime, as PapaMouse stated earlier, have deltas to differentiate them from some other Monorails. What is the original color of the deltas on Lime?
[spoiler]yellow[/spoiler]Blue, as you were reminded.

16a) Where are the Monorails stored at night?
[spoiler]10 are stored at the monorail shop. 2 are stored at TTC unless it gets to freezing temps and they are stored inside the Contemporary. No train is left ou tof the shop more then 2 nights in a row.[/spoiler]Correct.

16b) How many Monorails can be stored at this facility at one time?
[spoiler]10 (see above)[/spoiler]Correct


Please IM me with grade and correct answeres.

Thanks this was fun.

I want to note that no I did not "cheat" and Google any of the information. I have my own monorail site. :) [/quote] Very nicely done. You got 13 correct out of 16. Certainly not a bad score. PM me your site, I'd love to see it sometime.

[spoiler]I've always heard the runway referred to as the STOLport (STOL being an aviation acronym for Short Take Off and Landing). The body of water I believe is Lake Bambi?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]That's the name of the airstrip. Used primarily for bus training and parking and, I believe, parking for the construction workers working on Bay Lake Tower. Bambi Lake is the name of the body of water, you were very close but not quite right.[/spoiler]

Disney doesn't let ANYBODY land at the STOLport anymore. They didn't even make an exception for Mickey Mouse One (Walt's private plane) when it was brought in to be put into Studios' boneyard. Instead they closed down World Drive to land it and towed it to Studios from there.

They had to take out all the street lights to make it work.

I'll take a crack at these.......

Now for a few trivia questions of my own. Pilots, please 10-23.

This is really fun to watch. So here's a question that, if you get it right, I'm going to wonder why you're not driving a Monorail yourself.

Regarding the Beam Contacts, or more precisely "Beam Contact Latches", what do we do with trains on a daily basis that sets them off?

[spoiler]switch track[/spoiler]

And BTW I would LOVE to be a monorail driver. Of course I hate dealing with people so... :p:

I agree, this is a fun thread to follow.

So the beam contacts....on they daily basis they are set off by:
[spoiler]trains going over the switch beam(during a switch) because of the extreme angle? Thus, the chassis comes close to the beam?[/spoiler]

[Monorail_Red]

Correct


14 of 16. Very nice.

Alright!

They are set off whenever you drive Lime :)

[Big Wallaby]

They are set off whenever you drive Lime :)

Actually, Lime is coming back into the fold, it's almost a nice train to drive again. Not as fast as she used to be, but nice... Just remember that Lime slides and you'll be fine. No powering into stations (as I so love to do in Gold and Purple... and sometimes Black).

So are our answers correct??????

[mechurchlady]

Love the quizze. So drivers abusing the monorail sets of the switches? Have you gotten the monorail up to 100 MPH and what happened to the vegas ones.
