Monorail Blue Has Arrived!

April 12th, 2008

It’s been reported that the BLUE monorail is now on Disneyland property. This is exciting news because it leads us to believe that they are going to be officially beginning running these things around the same time. They look very new yet very retro all at the same time. Hopefully these will end up running more smoothly, as the older ones are starting to get kind of clunky as it drives along the track. The monorails were ready for a change, and now they are coming. As far as when they are going to be taking guests around? Nobody REALLY knows at this point. We reported Blue would be arriving in late April, so it looks like they may be earlier than expected. Let just hope they get them going soon!

General Picture Update

March 28th, 2008

Not much in the news today, so thought I’d let you know that Miceage and Westcoaster have posted rather large photos updates from around the resort. Many showing new constrution and places under refurbishment. My favorite pic is the one of the newly installed for the Toy Story Midway Mania ride, I’d say it is safe to say now that this is, in fact, the official name for the ride. Be sure to check out this collection, makes me want to go back ASAP!

Red Monorail Alive and Running! (After Hours)

March 26th, 2008

UnloadingIt’s been confirmed that the NEW Red Monorail (Mark VII) has been going around the magic beam in the sky late at night to make sure we don’t have a repeat of the scraping on corners as when first tested. This also confirms that the monorail STAYED at the resort to get fixed. I’d almost say this is a blessing in disguise for one simple reason. Always thought it would be weird to have the awesome new Red monorail running with the old ones for so long. The Blue version of the new monorail is still expected to arrive on time in late april to early may. I like this because by the time Red is taking guests around, Blue will be almost here! I included a few pics just in case you haven’t seen the new monorail.
