Monorail Red Video - running on rails at Disneyland

The problem with Monorail Red appears to have been less serious than originally thought. When first tested, the new Mark VII Monorail was unable to make it around the first turn from the maintenance shed onto the track. The problem was thought to be with the design of the undercarriage, but turns out a piece was just installed incorrectly. That's been fixed and now Monorail Red is cycling at night in order to work out any further kinks.

There is even video of Monorail Red running. Unfortunately since all the testing is done at night, it's pretty dark. But you can just make out the new retro style of the Mark VII and see that it is running under its own power. I'm also hearing that Monorail Blue is back on schedule to be the second Mark VII to be delivered.

No word on when the public will be able to ride.
