Quote of the day: 

"I do not sleep to rest ... just sleep to dream." Walt Disney

                        DISNEY'S MONORAIL


DESCRIPTION
The Walt Disney World Monorail System opened on October 1 1971 with Mark IV monorails servicing the Transporation and Ticket Center, the Magic Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom Resorts. The system was expanded with the opening of the Epcot line servicing the TTC and Epcot on June 1 1982. Later, from 1986 to 1988, the system was upgraded to Mark VI monorails. New features included improved air conditioning, door systems and safety features, are-designed interior, additional standing room for peak travel periods, improved sliding-door systems, on-board monitoring and improved communications and control.

Details

Specifications: Each of the six-car trains is 203 feet long and has 124 rubber tires powered by 600-Volt DC propulsion systems, including eight DC motors rated 113 HP each. Train bodies are made of a high-strength composite honeycomb material that allows high strength at a low weight. 

Trains travel on a 26-inch-wide concrete beam supported by tapered concrete columns approximately 110 feet apart. The beams and columns are constructed in sets of six and post-tensioned together to form a single 600-foot structure. As trains move along the beamway, they pick up electrical power from a metallic buss bar.

Capacity

Nearly 7,000 guests per direction, per hour. On a typical day, more than 150,000 guests use monorail transportation. 

Beam

Walt Disney World Resort has a 14.7-mile system of elevated beamway that services seven stations throughout two theme parks and several hotels.

Color Identification

Each of the current 12 monorails are identified by a colored stripe. 
The current colors are: Peach, Teal, Red, Coral, Orange, Gold, Yellow, Lime, Green, Blue, Silver, Black. Photos of the monorails.
