No need to waste my fingers typing about this, but I'm sure everyone knows how much I despise this. Can we get confirmation as to which monorail Disney disgraced this time?

If they had planned to do Oz, then we would had seen that monorail back at Dec/Jan. After all, all the ABC shows on Comcast "On Demand" back in Jan had commercials pushing Oz back then. Iron Man 3 is coming out in a few months, so it doesn't surprise me that they're starting to promote it now.

Very true. The timing fits so they can promote it and then leave it go through the summer as the movie does its theater run and then the DVD/Blu-ray release. I'm sure the billboards in DHS have this as well...

I haven't heard very good things about Oz. Ironman, on the other hand, always entertains and meets with good reviews. Kids are much more likely to want Ironman stuff than Oz stuff, and we all know the merchandise marketing is targeted to them and the parents and grandparents who shop for them.

Oz already is working on the next film for the series, apparently. But yeah, it may have been a blockbuster for march, but would have tanked hard during the prime season.

I enjoy the Monowraps! I like this wrap, but i thought it was Universal at first. I want them back at Universal! LOL!

It's not red like it was last time, I haven't paid attention to see which one is missing.

Speaking of which one is missing, DH read something from Facebook last night that indicated the monorail may have been struck by lightning last night, and two trains were towed to the barn? Can you verify?

I didn't hear but it is entirely possible. I went home really sick at one, and we had a real freak of a storm at around 3 that knocked down trees at DHS. So anything monorail I missed.

Well so far they have wrapped Coral in Tron and Red in Avengers. I'm pretty curious to know which one they wrapped this time. Any hope of getting information or will I just have to figure out which one is missing the next time I am there.

Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in

Monorail Black.
I wonder if they choose the monorail that is closest to needing a new paint job? Then they can wrap it, and when they are done with the wrap, if the wrap removal takes off any paint, they are going to be painting it anyhow...so no worries!

Thanks MadEye. At least they are choosing a different monorail each time...

Amy, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if things were done that way, but with TDO there is no guessing anymore.

The Monorail system is one of my favorite things at WDW (weird, yea I know) and yes I hate when they add things to them like that......but it looks kinda cool so I'm ok with it even though it looks like something Universal would have and not Disney.
