Yep, it's been making quite the rounds on the news. Considering the length of time Disney's monorails have been in operation (late 1950's, if I recall), the safety record has been pretty impressive up to this point. The monorails in Orlando have been active since the early 70's with no incidents.

So much for the good old days when they'd let you ride up front with the driver.

ams: Dude, you own three different unlicensed City Commander toys and a half dozen fake third-party Prime trailers. WTH?

Eh. It's one crash in ~50 years resulting in 1 death. Disney's safety and track record are as good as one could hope to achieve when it come to their monorails. I have ridden them since I was a kid and will surely again.

Disneyland. The happiest place on Earth.


There may be no peace for the wicked, but the righteous can damn well get a piece whenever they feel like it.

YouTube - Disney Epcot monorail crash Video (WARNING! Video of after the crash taken by a tourist who was on one of the cars.)

They are banging on the windows to get the driver's attention. They cannot because he is the one who died in the crash.

My prayers go out to the family that lost their son. Nothing like this should happen, especially at of all places, Disney World.

This, combined with the death of Marcelo Torres on Big Thunder in 2003 (A person I knew personally), are enough to keep me off a Disney ride forever.
