2	timnmnangers Wed 12/26/2007 9:08p	I've been excited about this since the concept art came out a year and a half ago. I think the return to the style of the MK's I-II-III reclaims Disneyland's signature style that was lost when the MK V replaced them and coppied WDW MK IV trains. I am hopeful that this pattern continues-- that of polishing what was great about Disneyland rather than changing for the sake of change, and losing identity in the process. Well done, Disney and WDI. Keep it up!

6	davewasbaloo Thu 12/27/2007 3:31p	I'm not complaining at all. I love the look of these babies, but they did seem to share some design in common with Futurama, or maybe Groening was influenced by Disney (wouldn't be the 1st time)
7	avromark Thu 12/27/2007 3:35p	Lets just hope that the monorail pilots don't "Do what you got to do", of course you could always implant one of those chips in me for that job. All Anaheim needs is a few months of snow and I'll be there.
8	jmuboy Thu 12/27/2007 4:31p	Why are they replacing 4 old monorail trains with three? Don't they run three with a 4th "spare" for when one needs servicing? Isn't this a little short sighted? Do they plan to go down to only running two trains from now on with a 3rd on stand by in the barn? What will happen to the old trains? I know orange has already been destroyed in the reverse engineering project to build these models.
