The Monorail is overlaid in promotion for Tron: Legacy which is to be released in December. The Monorail made their debut today and is running on the Epcot line.

I'm not sure if I'm 100% onboard for the Tronorail overlay from a theoretical standpoint, but at least it looks like it was done nicely. I guess I can't complain about that. It's also interesting to see how clean the clean parts of the Monorail beam look. The rest of it didn't look particularly dirty, but after seeing what a little pressure washing can do, it's pretty incredible. I hope that they can at least clean all of the beam inside the park, if not the entire length of the route.

Originally Posted By smedley Spirit I am right with you in looking forward to the film, whether or not they should have themed the monorail to it is another thing entirely, especially given how long it is till the film is released.

(Thought maybe some of the ambidextrous DL/WDW posters might know...)
