It is NOT opening on Friday, there have been problems with the CM testing, and Disney has decided to push back the public opening.

>>Just got word today that the new Monorail Red train will not open to the public this Friday.

Disney Spokesman John McClintock said the team working on the Monorail "has decided to take a few extra days for test and adjust so it will not open to guests on Friday."

No date has been set for the Monorail's public launch. We'll keep you informed on this blog about a public opening date.<<

If it really is CM testing, I don't think they will have to go through these current steps again when Blue comes online. The CMs are learning the new proceedures for operating the Mark VII and shouldn't have to learn anything new specifically for Blue when it arrives. I would hope that the proceedures for two brand new Mark VII monorails are identical.

Are there eventually to be three Mark VII's? When does the third come on line?

Last I heard, Blue online by mid-June

Orange is arriving in late summer.

Right now, Mark VII Red is having door sensor problems, and some lighting issues mainly.

Mark VII Blue will have to run a lot of hours of on-track testing (though many can be after-hours) due to the State safety requirements (DOSH).

Guess what types of problems we routinely had on the old Mark Vs back in 2000?

You guessed it . . .

<<Right now, Mark VII Red is having door sensor problems, and some lighting issues mainly.>>

Hilarious!
