Originally Posted By FerretAfros Looks great! The overall shape of the new train definatley makes it look like it's going a lot faster, even if it's the exact same speed. I don't know why, but I really like the brake lights on the back too. I assume the older Monorails had them too, but I never noticed them. There's just something about them that look like upside-down tailfins, which makes me really look forward to a possible 50's/60's retro-future Tomorrowland. It also looks like there may be some wood panels over the windows in the second to last car. Anybody know what that's about?

If I were to speculate, the covered up windows might be due to that car being used to carry the testing engineers and their support equipment. Im thinking that they possibly have the train instrumented to measure vibration, noise, and other operating parameters. So I'm just guessing that maybe all the people and monitoring equipment are in those middle cars.
