New Monorail Paint Job

For you Monorail fans:

There's a new logo painted on the side of the Monorail cab, but beware! The logo is only on the right-hand side (from the driver's perspective), so you'll need to plan your shots accordingly! That just makes it more of a challenge to get the new logo in the sunlight instead of shade. Note that the logo is also on the rear car, but on the opposite side (since the cars appear to be able to be driven from either end, that side would still be the driver's right in that case).

From the Magic Kingdom stop...


From the Tickets & Transportation stop...

 

Nice pics, Scott! Thanks for the info on locations of the designs.

I agree, at least in part, with Tim. That design just looks messy to me. I'm not against them adding these overlays from time to time, but this particular paint job just isn't that attractive.

At least they got rid of the Stitch on the front - please tell me they got rid of the Stitch on the front?

 

You know what, I like it. I understand you guys not liking them messing with the classics, I'm a BIG classic Disney enthusiast. However.. it works for me. The way it's done it looks like it's the bow spray off a boat, flying up and past and swirling into the air. That's an interesting approach, both organic and abstract. Also I just noticed that it says "year of a million dreams".. so I guess it's meant to commemorate their current special event.

Plus I appreciate them only decorating one side of the first car (well, and the last one). It's less obtrusive, almost elusive.

 

Yeah, I don't mind it too much - kind of grows on you after awhile. Plus, it will come off after the "Year of a Million Dreams" is over (whenever that is).

I didn't see any of Stitch on any of the cars!

 

I like it. If they had covered the entire monorail, that would be too much. But I think it's kinda cool looking on just the first car.

 

I didn't agree with this new design...I still don't I hope they will follow up and do both sides of the monorail instead of just having it on the right side. I wouldn't be upset if it was only on the front car but at least make it on the left and right side.
Here are just a couple I have:

Very cool, can't wait to see these in person!

 

dawholagn, the miniature look is so cool!

 

Thanks, Kelly!

thank you for the link. However, I have yet to make a single shot at that angle. I usually do eye-level and worm-eye view only. I should try to get pictures with that angle.
