The new Monorail

Yesterday for the first time we got to see the new MARK VIII monorail in action. They were not yet allowing guests to ride on them but had one running behind the usual MARK VII so they could work out the problems they are having with them. The one we saw was red and looked great. Can't wait for the official opening.
