Chapek's CURSE....strikes again.
Speaking of, I take it from DHS to Epcot quite a bit and it is a breeze. So quick loading and on and off within a few minutes. I know that the monorail is iconic to WDW, but at some point you have to ask: If they refuse to buy new trains, why don't they just tear the system down and build what is a much cheaper and more efficient system in the Skyliner?At least we have the shiny, new Skyliner.
I loved the Skyliner. One of the best things WDW has ever done.Speaking of, I take it from DHS to Epcot quite a bit and it is a breeze. So quick loading and on and off within a few minutes.

Of course in an ideal world, they would both replace the monorails AND expand the Skyliner to go to the DAK resort area with stops at All-Star, Coronado, Blizzard Beach, DAK Lodge and DAK.

You don't build it adjacent to the monorail. The Skyliner would go straight across the lagoon from the TTC to Magic Kingdom. Maybe hop over an island or two. Then the resorts could have their own lines.I don’t think the monorail is going anywhere. It’s too ingrained into the infrastructure of the resort. The monorail literally runs through the Contemporary.
Disney couldn’t lose all the transportation capacity by taking down the entire monorail line for a year to demolish it and then have nothing in place for a couple more years while they build a Skyliner replacement.
And I don’t see a way for them to be able to build a Skyliner adjacent to the monorail that would have the same level of functionality.
I’m sure they could find a way, but it’s such an expensive infrastructure project. I just can’t see Disney justifying spending all that money to basically get back to the status quo. Fixing the current monorail would be cheaper
Right. They've dumped a ridiculous amount into trying to keep these trains chugging along instead of putting money to much better use and just buying new trains.If it was that crucial to WDW, Disney would actually spend the money on fixing all of its many problems instead of letting it fall apart and do small fixes that really do nothing.
