Their names are technically Monorail Lime and Monorail Coral, but yeah I'll take that. The primary reason they're like that is to distinguish them from Monorail Green and Monorail Red. Your turn!

Okay, Really? Lime? I haven't seen any limes that color. But anyways, What is the name of the building which houses Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor?

Huh. I must have misunderstood what you meant by multicolored stripes. I know red/black exists. I've been on it. XD

For a while in the 90s the delta on monorail lime used to be a dark blue, but now the deltas on both coral and lime are just the plain monorail color, just breaks in the stripe.

Yeah, I get it now. Multicolored single-stripe rather than different colored multiple stripes. XD

Jealous! Have a good trip.

As for the stripe, I searched online to find a picture of it and came across this: http://www.monorailyellow.com/mediaGall ... =4&num=249
Looking back, I remember always seeing it and was baffled by the blue.

I know it's a little off topic, but these are the windows of the monorail at Tokyo Disney.

Why can't ours look like that?

edit: nevermind, the outside is really dull.

I kinda like the outside of the TDL ones. They sort of fit better with Sea, though. They look a little like teeny cruise ships. The insides are really cool though. I wonder if they smell bad like ours do?

Though those mouse head handles look like they'd hurt if you bonked on the head with one.

It looks like the Euro Tunnel Freight trains put on a single beam......or a toy.

Those are cool pic. agingerbugg I do like the inside but I'm glad the WDW has more seats. The outside is ugly. Lets talk Trains. you all might have already done this question, theres to many pages to tell. Can you tell me the name of the working train model or what type of train it was modeled after, that Walt helped build?
