33	ImTempest Sat 5/17/2008 7:19a	I don't get a letter - what's up? I was hoping all the problems would be fixed by my Birthday Trip in July!

35	ArchtMig Sat 5/17/2008 2:44p	>>>Want to look at the Driver's seat of the new Mark VII Red???<<< Wow, I love the CCTV screen that the driver has. This monorail looks so sleek, shiny and beautiful. I hope they work the bugs out soon so we all can finally ride it. Has anyone noticed if there is a blinking strobe light on the roof of the new monorail or not? I know it's probably not mandatory, and if it's there it's just for cosmetic/theatrical purposes. But ever since the Mark I monorail, there was a blinking light on top. Back in the old days of Mark I through Mark III, the flashing lights were old fashioned rotating beacons. Then when the Mark V came online I saw that it was updated to be flashing strobe lights. And I thought it was way cool looking, and still do. A flashing light on the top of the monorail is a very Disneyland thing, and I really hope it's still there.

We were planning to get off at the hotel and walk around, but there was no way I was giving up my perch after just the short outbound leg. So we stayed on and I got to ride full circle through all the spaghetti bowl portion in TL. A very different feel being that high above the track, and a great view too. I think I was with 3 friends, and I had to promise to buy them all individual E tickets so we could ride again and get off at the hotel like we'd planned. Worth every penny.

39	ShivaThDestroyer Sat 5/17/2008 10:36p	Dabob2, Many thanks, I may have never had the chance to ride in the bubble but reading your post was probably the next best thing. I got excited just reading it. Thank you so much for sharing...and you're right, it does sound like it was indescribably cool!
