That way they will look like the city busses around town that are big rolling billboards.

If it had been cheezy I think I would agree with you and be disgruntled by this, but these are superb.

You mean like what DL did a few years ago, as their Monorail fleet was on its last legs and they wanted it to still look hip and relevant? I must admit that the submarine one was pretty clever, but it overstayed its welcome by several months (it was like that for the better part of a year). The dream could one was just awful. I don't remember how long it was there, but it was really ugly the whole time. Monorails just shouldn't be rolling advertisments. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/disneydena/2611340015/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/d...1340015/</a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sbam/1460778317/" target="_blank">http://www.flickr.com/photos/s...0778317/</a>

The Tron ones are simply strictly commercials.

Well, Jim, I think this is really something different then just advertising a movie... anyway, I guess if it's your movie and you own the park... go for it.. again I think it's sooooo cool..
