I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
History of The Disneyland Monorail: The Dinseyland-Alweg Monorail system was opend on june 14,1959 as a sightseeing attraction in Tomarrowland.In 1961 the Monorail tracks were lengnthend to leave the park and stop at the station near the Disneyland Hotel. The Mark II trains was very similar to the Mark I,but two extra cars were added to the train to increase compacity.In 1968, the 'new' Mark III's debuted, which were more streamlined and efficient, a major improvement over the Mark II's. In 1987, Disney began phasing out the old Mark III trains one by one. The older trains were stripped to the chassis and rebuilt as Mark V monorail trains. The notable difference was the loss of the bubble top drivers area in favor of a streamlined "lear jet" look similar to the trains at the Walt Disney World Resort. The attraction's name changed to Disneyland Monorail System. The Mark V trains were built by Ride & Show Engineering, Inc. incorpoating bodies that were produced by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm of Germany. The 1987-1989 Mark V trains are named by the color of the stripe on the train: Monorail Red, Monorail Blue, Monorail Orange, and Monorail Purple.
