Re: Attention all monorail personnel!

Gate sensors??? Yes, if my memory is correct, it was the gates that wouldn't open, the doors opened, then they had to close them and back the train up some. Off topic. The speech you hear on the monorail. Narration or Spiel? (we all know the answer.) Here is a hint. http://img.photobucket.com/album...

Re: Disney Legal

I don't understand. Why would you do that? I know of several places in my area that do the exact same thing. They either have some form of Disney logo on their walls on they have the characters. I see that you are trying to preserve the Disney name, but isn't that small potatoes? I just don't get w...

Re: Attention all monorail personnel!

Our last trip (Dec 10th) we took Mono from TTC to MK. The drive over shot the stopping point at TTC by a few inches and had to back up. I assumed this was just a mistake, but it happened 4 more times. we didn't get that monorail and the next one that came through did the same. Then on our return tri...

Re: Attention all monorail personnel!

2c) Which Monorail did not have that extra car? [spoiler]Silver because of the fire?[/spoiler] Right reason, wrong train. Gold because at the time of the Signal 25, Silver already had the extra car. Gold's car 6 went to Silver instead of Gold, and they never replaced it. Ok, I want to make sure I a...

Re: Attention all monorail personnel!

Years ago the Mark IV Silver monorail caught fire due to a flat tire rubbing on the beam and creating a lot of friction. From Wikipedia : HERE is a better article with a scan from the newspaper of the fire. God how I hate Wikipedia. I can't believe how many times I hear "Wikipedia does not car...

Re: Attention all monorail personnel!

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???...

Re: Attention all monorail personnel!

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? And BTW I woul...
