	Disneyland Monorail System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Disneyland Monorail System is an attraction and transportation system at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
		The Disneyland-ALWEG Monorail System opened on June 14, 1959 as a sightseeing attraction in Tomorrowland in Disneyland.
		In 1999, the monorail began lengthy closures and limited capacity due to the construction of the new Disney's California Adventure theme park, which already existing monorail tracks passed through.

	History of the Disney Monorails
		The monorail system at Disneyland has been purposely designed and developed to include curvatures of 120 feet radius, overpasses, and grades of 7%, in order to demonstrate the practicality of this system under different construction and topographic conditions.
		The monorails are electrically powered, operating on 600-volt direct current transmitted along a pair of copper and steel buss bars mounted on the right side of the beam.
		While the monorails at Disneyland and Walt Disney World are without a doubt monorails, the Tokyo Disney Resort Line has been, due to its scale, referred to by many as the first real Disney park monorail.

		Seattle's monorail, which was developed for the World's Fair in 1962 and continues to operate profitably, is one mile long with only two stations.
		One myth about monorails is that it is impossible to have multiple routes, with multiple tracks, because the technology does not exist to switch trains from one track to another.
		On its four main urban monorails in Japan, Hitachi has experienced four delays due to minor malfunctions with track switches; three times these problems delayed the system by less than three minutes, and the fourth was less than 30 minutes.

	Ask Doc Krock! - MousePlanet edition
		As you'll see in a bit, the reasons for this are the rather simple concepts on which the whole Monorail system is built.
		There is a section of track that the Monorail must pass over in neutral (coasting without power) because of the way power is supplied to the track inside and outside of the park.
		That's about it for the Monorail, a fairly simple design that has proven to be a popular and fairly rugged transportation system for the park.

	Tokyo Disneyland Monorail
		For a start, the planned monorail vehicles for Tokyo Disneyland are far bigger, with guests being able to move between "carriages" while the vehicle is in motion.

		The monorail planned will encircle both the current Tokyo Disneyland theme park, and the new Disney Seas theme park which is currently under construction, and scheduled for completion during 2001.

	Disney Monorails by Steve Burns - StartedByAMouse.com Features Section
		Disney's first Monorail was the Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System that debuted in Disneyland's Tomorrowland in 1959.
		The Monorail, built at the Disney Studios, consists of a train on an elevated concrete beamway; rubber tires support the train on the beam; tires are located on the top and either side of the beam.
		The Monorail would come to be an important part of that plan, providing efficient transportation between distant areas of the city, and even high-speed transportation between cities.

	Disneyland Mark I collectible (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In conjunction with the fiftieth anniversary of Disneyland in 2005, the Disney direct online store offered a splendidly-detailed static display model of Disneyland's first monorail, the Mark I. The die-cast, O-scale model is 22" long and comes with a fl, three pylon and track stand.
		To the right you can see the blue cross logo that is similar to the original Sante Fe logo that adorned the original Mark I. The name of the train has been modified to not include the words "Disneyland-Alweg Monorail System," which appeared on Mark Is and Mark IIs.
		It's a shame that the amazing straddle-beam monorail technology that Alweg developed is not given the credit deserved on this fine model, not even in the Certificate of Authenticity that comes with it.

		A separate legal entity from Walt Disney Productions and Disneyland Inc., in the 1950's and 60's W.E.D. was very close to Walt Disney's heart as the workshop that created his visions in three dimensions for Disneyland and later Walt Disney World.
		While the Disneyland Railroad was the first attraction to be completed during the construction of Disneyland in 1954-1955, the Disneyland monorail system was added in 1959, with this document being part of the legalities necessary to make that a reality.
		Of course, the railroad and Monorail remains a fixture at Disneyland and Walt Disney World today.
