WDW is in central Florida, Mossy Oak would be appropriate.

Well the waiting is over to see the new stripe color. The "new" train has already been spotted just after getting it's fresh coat of paint. AND it has the trapezoids!!!

Was that taken from a backstage area?

It looks like it was taken from the Monorail garage just north of the MK. Here's a picture from Google Earth; the area we see in the video is highlighted in purple. Looks like the person who filmed it was driving south on Center Drive.

Good find. I think you are absolutely correct.

Yeah Future Guy is correct. It also appears like they snuck around to the East side of the shop via Facilities Way to get still shots of the monorail.

FYI...Teal is out right now (or it was as off noonish) accepting guests.

Yep, from what I understand it is running on the MK express beam. Hopefully somebody will be able to get us some good pictures of it. Glad to see that it is up and running, however it is a somber reminder of what happened just 4 months prior.

Thanks Future Guy! That is a great picture and I really like the looks of this monorail a lot. However, there is no matching logo on that front car. I wonder if those are going to now be a thing of the past on the monorails.
