↩ replying to DCBakerHonestly, I'm not a fan of wrapping the monorails. We get enough wraps like that on city busses, etc.

↩ replying to ImperfectPixieI think it could be cool if it stays just on Monorail Gold since it’s the golden anniversary. That way, it won’t overpower the entire fleet and is an extra bonus for riding that color. We used to love trying to ride all the different colors when we went as kids.

↩ replying to ImperfectPixieUsually I agree. Same with the buses, and I dislike all the "character" wraps that have been appearing in recent years. Just look really tacky to me.
BUT... if there was ever a time for some kind of marketing wrap on the buses and monorails, WDW's 50th is it. It's a milestone anniversary and a big deal, and it should be highlighted across the resort, IMHO.

↩ replying to hpyhnt 1000I understand your point (and yes, I dislike the character buses, too), but if they HAD to put graphics on the monorails, I would have preferred something minimal and more classic-looking than a huge wrap.

↩ replying to DCBakerSo are they going to hand out a guide showing where all are located or are they going to encourage guests in a scavenger hunt, maybe with a list of all 50 then you check it off when found.

↩ replying to hpyhnt 1000I'm the opposite. I like the wraps. I think this particular wrap looks horrible. Why didn't they just do the whole thing?

↩ replying to CaptainAmericaIf I were to guess to show that it's on Monorail Gold, as in Golden Anniversary.

↩ replying to JohnDIt just looks incomplete... like they did 40% of it and it's due to get the rest applied overnight.

↩ replying to CaptainAmericaThe 50th anniversary wraps of several Skyliner gondolas are on yellow (i.e. "gold") for the same reason. But there, would it kill them to actually paint several gondolas gold then put the wraps on those?

↩ replying to CaptainAmericaThey should have had a nice fade-in to the blue instead of a hard line...it looks like it could be a poster just stuck on there.

↩ replying to ImperfectPixieFair point. Agree these wraps aren't the best they've done. It's oddly disjointed looking.
I would have played off the monorail striping. Keep cars 1 and 6 unchanged and have the color stripe gradually change to glittery iridescent halfway along cars 2 and 5, with everything swelling into a swirl of pixie/iridescent dust on cars 3 and 4, with a big 50 on one and "The World's Most Magical Celebration" on the other.
Would sorta echo the whole "beacons of magic" thing they're doing with the park icons.
