Sonya Smith over at the OC Register checked with Disneyland today, still no idea when Mark VII Red will be ready for guests.

>>Disney Spokesman John McClintock said today that the Disney is still testing and adjusting the Monorail. He said that no date has been set for the Monorail's public launch.<<

Mark VII Red was out this morning (Friday, May 9th) for a few hours in "Test" mode (no guests allowed on).

It went back to the barn around 1 PM.

It will remain in the barn for the weekend, and then resume testing during the day on Monday. Still having problems, especially with the door closures and sensors.

oh brother!

I wonder if the Mark Vs in 1987/89 or the Mark IIIs in 1969 had this many problems and delays!

The Mark V's had sensor problems too and those are relatively minor compared to the most current issue.

I do wonder what the world is coming to. In our quest to lower prices and award contracts to vendors, the quality takes hit.

I swear it costs more in the long run. I hope these bugs are fixed soon. They do look so lovely.

Wasn't it a DL CM that was quoted off the record saying, "Management is bound and determined to do the project as cheap as possible, no matter how much money it costs!"

>...but I think Blue or Green was painted black for a time being in the 70s.<

You might be thinking of WDW, which still has a monorail Black.

Looks cool. Still wish they'd brought back the bubble, though.
