[edit] Monorail Blue

Edits yesterday by User:Mikokat state that Monorail Blue has been retired. I rode this train on February 4th and 5th, 2006, between Tomorrowland and Downtown Disney, so while its possible that the train was retired earlier this week, can anyone confirm? Hawaiian717 16:13, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

My online sources indicate no, but I'll ask a Monorail Cast Member the next time I'm in the park. Monorail Purple was being used on February 9.

As of February 26, 2006, Monorail Blue and Monorail Purple are operating regularly, and Monorail Red is in the shop, although I don't think I'd say at this point any of the current three monorails are going to be retired.

Monorail Red is currently being reverse-engineered to become the new Mark VII.Currently the monorails are on shuttle-mode.Also, a new image has been added to the article.

Red is in the shop. It's Orange that is/was being reverse-engineered =P

Due to literally falling apart on the beam. (I'm sure it's Floridian counterpart isn't to far from the same fate.) Red is clearly visible in Shop, and Blue and Purple are doing the rounds.

Are the the Mark VII monorails going to be new-build or upgrades to the existing cars? Would chainging the 'Built by Ride & show ...' to 'Upgraded by ...' for the Mark V monorails be more correct? 195.92.168.168 22:54, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

They are a completely new rebuild. The "reverse-engineering" is being done to understand the complexities of the monorail sub-systems but shall be replaced with newly built components. --SirLamer 22:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Mark IV or Mark VI?

Out of curiosity, is there a reason why no train has been designated as Mark IV or Mark VI? Were those used for prototypes, or are even numbers saved for "partial upgrades," as the Mark II is merely a lengthened Mark I? Musashi1600 10:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the Mark IV and Mark VI are Walt Disney World Monorail System designations. --Lyght 10:43, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
