So this is from a while ago... I wanted to say I agree, I think it looks terrible.

Also I'm going in two weeks, does anyone know if it is still on the monorail, or did they take it off? Hopefully gone.
It was on the resort line yesterday.

......those new monorails are kind of frightening. But then again, I never liked Cars.

I liked the Tron wrap on the monorail a few years back because it fit with the futuristic/sci-fi feel that the monorails have always had. What are they going to do to make the Avengers one look streamlined and cool, Iron Man flying on one, with his exhaust flames going down the length of the monorail, and the guy with the bow and arrow shooting on another, the arrow being ahead of him at the front? (As I wrote about the Iron man monorail, i realized that would actually kind of look cool)

I'm sure the artwork is amazing - but I still don't think it belongs on the monorail. :)

You nailed it. I don't blame Disney for using the Monorails as big billboards, but what's next? Ads on the side of the steam trains? Wraps on the TTA PeopleMover?

Maybe I shouldn't be giving them ideas...
Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.

So long. Farewell. Auf wiedersehen. Adieu. Monorail Red is currently in shop shedding its Avengers skin. Although I will miss seeing the Avengers, I look forward to seeing Monorail Red on the Epcot line again.

True - but my first thought is "What movie will they be plugging next?"

So we will finally have the original 10 colors plus the 2 new colors running as they should be, white with a colored stripe! DLR monorails are now also undecorated again since they have removed the cars screens.

Lets see, it could be Oz the great and Powerful, Irond Man 3, Monsters Uni, or their new game series Disney Infinity.

Oz is too soon (I think). Monster's Inc. 3D failed so I doubt Monsters University. Iron Man, Lone Ranger are possible. My opinion is no wraps for a few years but I know it probably won't happen.
