I've been stuck many times in the past waiting to pull into the station waiting on another to leave, and that's without any additional trains on the system...

Most guests are slow enough but adding more trains is overkill...

Is it one active train per station or does the hotel/mk track have less?

Sorry for the delay. For the Resort line, depends on how many trains are on the system but the Resorts usually have one train per (three being the minimum) and it's a coin toss as to whether MK/TTC gets any extra trains (if I remember correctly and if that hasn't changed since I left Monorails).

As for the Express, all trains are assigned to MK/TTC not Resorts and whichever train is assigned to your platform (MK/TTC/EPCOT Center, etc.) is/are the only trains you are allowed to pilot.

Update: Monorail Peach (blech!!!) made it's debut on the Express beam but did not take any guests. It should start transporting guests any day now.

Why does no one seem to like the new Peach color?

I don't mind it too much... Here's some videos I found on some other sites. It really feels nice to have all 12 back together again!

After seeing it in person, I really just don't like it (looks like a dim gold or a dark yellow...). I would have liked Maroon as it is a lot more unique to the other 11 trains but what do I know?

You know what would have been cool? Is to have held an on-line contest where people could vote for one of four color choices, the final winner with the most votes being the color given to the new monorail. WDW is always looking for ways to be more "inter-active", right?

If Len doesn't "mind it too much", there must be something really wrong with it (I can't imagine him not liking a monorail, no matter what the color). From the picture it doesn't look peachy enough to really stand out.

Without a write in option it's pointless, then what would 4Chan do all day?

They enjoy judging monorails by their exterior pigment rather than the content of their character. :D
