The current monorails will hopefully be phased out, I guess.

I love the design of the new ones, reminds me a lot of the original 1959 version!  :D

Just a little update about the Mark VII's:




Both monorail orange and blue have been taken apart (orange at WDI Hollywood and Blue at burke enterprises Canada) and also rumours are floating that 1 of the monorails have returned too DLR. while i was over there monorail red and purple were operating fully not in the shuttle mode. Also the newly referbished station has reopened



So it looks on track (or beam hehe) for the $10+ million referbishment of the beloved monorail

(Pictures fro mouse planet and darkbeer with some info from visions fantastic)

The new design looks great, better than the old one. Does anybody know if WDI will change the monorails in WDW too?

I´m afraid not in the near future, as all the monorails at WDW had a rehab in 2007 with several changes inside (handrails etc.).

Oh, and it´s too expensive, as they are operating a lot more monorails than in DLR.

But if there´s something in the planning, I´d love to see an expansion to DHS and AK, too. :wink:

I highly doubt that too, as it´s just too expensive. Someone on another website (who claims to have some sources in WDI)  said that it would cost around 1 to 3 million $ per mile.

I did not know that Disneyland had a Monorail track too. I have never been there, but is the parc not way too small for this. There are no hotels, for the monorail to go to, right? So, where does it go to?
