    Default Disneyland Mark VII Monorail Trains

    Can someone tell me all the monorail stops?

    I'm a WDW person and I know nothing about Disneyland, but I'm going in a few months so there will be many more clueless questions to come

    A grand total of two stops!

    Tomorrowland & Downtown Disney / Hotels
    area.

    And unlike World, you can walk for 10 min.
    and arrive at the same destination if the
    monorail line is too long.

    Default New Monorails on the Way!

    Who else is excited about the new Monorails arriving soon at the Disneyland Resort?

    I can't wait to see the new design. I have scoured the internet for pics but Disney seems to be keeping a tight lid on the project.

    We only get one for quite awhile.

    The same red / dream train will still be around
    for some time.

    I talked to one of the drivers I always see and talk to when I go into the park from Downtown Disney, just before Halloween. He said the first one comes out in December. The second one comes out in January. I believe he said Monorail Red will be done first.

    I was kidding him because before my WDW trip, the Dream monorail only had one side on it (left side). When I saw it this time it had both sides. He said you must have caught it just one of the days it was like that. Seemed the WDW one we caught in between MK and Epcot looked exactly same way, just one side.

    Default Disneyland Mark VII Monorail Trains

    New monorail arrives at Disneyland
    Guests will be able to ride the new train starting in February. The first car shipped in today.By SARAH TULLY
    The Orange County Register

    ANAHEIM – The first new monorail car in two decades slid onto the Disneyland track on Thursday as the theme park prepares for guests to ride it starting in late February.

    Starting Monday, five flat-bed trucks transported in the five cars of the first redesigned train from Vancouver, Canada, where they were built. Crews ripped off white shrink wrap, which made the cars look like a Space Shuttle, and took about an hour and 15 minutes for a crane to hoist the nose of the first red-striped train to the parking area.

    The ride started in 1959 as part of Disneyland's first expansion and the current cars have carted visitors around the Disney area since 1987. For three years, Disney Imagineers have been working on the upgrades that will roll out through the summer.

    "I think we're always looking for ways to update and refresh classic attractions," said Scot Drake, the monorail lead designer. "This is definitely an iconic attraction."

    The biggest change is the look of the train: The first electric cars have blue glass and red stripes that change color in the sunlight. The next two cars will be blue with purple glass and orange with blue glass.

    Bench seats will face the windows, allowing visitors a full view of the parks, Downtown Disney and the Disneyland Hotel. The capacity and speed will remain the same.

    Until the February debut, Disney workers will put finishing touches on the construction and test the train after the park closes.

    I shall name him "Shamu".

    I will make him mine. Yes.

    This is pretty good, but I have yet to see the
    diabolical and unexpected twist!

    WOW!!!

    I didn't see the new trains at all this weekend, and I made a point of trying to see into the roundhouse on each of our 3 times around the park on the train!

    Some of my best memories of Disneyland when I was a kid was seeing the monorails for the first time. I'm excited that news ones are coming to the park.

    I don't think the WINDOWS change color, I think the red stripes on the side change color.

    After re-reading that I think your right, probably paint simular to the Autopia cars.
