    I actually think this looks horrible on the monorail. It totally ruins the theming for the entrance to Main Street IMHO. It just doesn't belong. Wrap the buses not the monrails.

    Ugh, I guess this means I'll have to see it if we go in July????? I actually hate it!

    Oh well, at the end of the day I have far more important things to worry about than a monorail, right? LOL!!

    I'm with those that think it looks out of place. Don't like it, does not fit, has nothing to do with Disney. Are they that threatened by Universal these days? Sheesh . For a place that prides itself, or used to, on theming and attention to detail?

    This going to the Magic Kingdom? This will confuse the you-know-what out of those that are unfamiliar. I have already been in line at Universal where a man was trying to use his Disney Park Hoppers to get in, "Because," as he told the lady at the turnstile, "his travel agent told him these tickets were good at [I]all[I] the parks."

    I forgot that I wanted to add that it looks like an ad for Universal at Disney

    I think it looks very cool... love the whole "blacked out" look....

    ....BUT.....

    It doesn't work at WDW. Really doesn't work.

    Yeah, add me to the chorus of people that doesn't like this at Disney. I hate the Marvel stuff and Disney together at all. Even the marvel merchandise in the Disney stores makes me cringe. Just because they bought the rights doesn't make it Disney. Disney has so many great characters of their own. I just don't understand the need and I certainly feel like this will be an eyesore at the MK.

    I agree with everyone else who doesn't think it fits in MK! It doesn't! Tron, I could see that with Epcot, but this is a stretch to say the least.

    Eh, people made the same complaints about Star Tours and Indiana Jones once upon a time. I'm not sure why the Lucas properties have been accepted as pure Disney, while Marvel and Avatar are blasphemy.

    I kept hoping this was an April Fools joke, but alas no. It's not that I don't like Marvel or The Avengers, I just don't think it fits. Call me old fashioned, but I want the monorail to look like the monorail.

    I don't mind Marvel (My decision on Avatar is still out until I see their plans.) And I don't really mind a wrapped monorail.

    I just think Marvel feels weird at MK since there is no tie in to anything at MK. So it feels just like an ad I could see anywhere instead of a part of the park experience.

    I am both a Disney nut and a comic book nut, and Marvel has always been my favourite. The monorail looks awesome, I can't wait to see it, in May on our next trip.

    I will say Marvel is an odd fit with MK, and even with me having a hand drawn cel of Mickey hanging above my desk, right beside a cel of Wolverine. I still don't think they work together, but I love both.

    Remember it's all marketing, and Disney dropped the ball on John Carter, I think the monorail is a step in the right direction in that regard.

    It won't be around forever, we will get monorail red back, the way she is supposed to be. It is nice to see Disney experimenting with neat ads though.

    On a side note a Marvel land at DHS would be fantastic, an Avengers parade with Mickey in the lead float yelling AVENGERS ASSEMBLE......sorry had to do it.

    Yeah, but Star Tours and Indiana Jones are at DHS. I get the tie in with a movie/hollywood themed park like DHS. Completely different vibe at MK though.

    All the fun, charm, nostalgia, and anything remotely interesting about comic book characters has been so exploited and overused by Hollywood over the last 10-15 years that it's just a big yawnfest these days whenever yet another comic tie-in appears anywhere. This gets a big thumbs down from me. Nothing to do with Disney at all and feels like selling out.

    Unless Disney buys out the contract for hundreds of millions if not billions, then don't expect much more than a Marvel billboard outside of the theme parks...

    I think that the last thing I want to think about on my way to MK is mass destruction. I think of these movies, and I think of buildings being toppled, cars being thrown through the air, and the Statue of Liberty getting blown up. That's not what I want in my head as I walk down the ramp toward the turnstiles. That's what doesn't "fit" for me.
