Disneyland's Monorails Get Upgrade
If you've been to Walt Disney World or Disneyland anytime in, say, the past 50 years, then you've surely seen the sleek monorails gliding (and clunking) around in an endless loop on their concrete rails. A wave of the future the slick trainl-like vehicles were supposed to be when they were introduced in 1959, but now, if anything, they're a quaint throwback to '60s-era visions of the future. That's changing, thanks to the first of a fleet of sleek new monorails that are being delivered to Disneyland.
We don't have any details on the innards of the thing -- whether it's more enviro-friendly or comfortable or offers any sort of signficant update over the originals, but we do know that the new model sure looks sleek and impressive in its maroon/silver paint scheme. The fleet will get more new monorails by summer 2008.
