Here's what I read on the MousePlanet link someone posted:
Monorail of the Future
The Monorail closed two weeks ago to begin relocating the Tomorrowland station's elevator, entrance and exit ramps, better accommodating the return of the Submarine Voyage. Monorails should be back in service by Christmas.
Then, in the spring, expect the first of an entire new fleet. Workers in the Roundhouse were recently shown illustrations of the new design. "It is a combination of the current design and 'Old Red,'" said one source. "The driver will be sitting in a cockpit blister. It is still unknown if it will be completely automated, which is something that is hotly debated. The Monorail drivers still prefer having some kind of control."
Although not evident from the drawings, rumors are that the seating has been totally reconfigured to increase capacity.
I'm confused...what monorail in Tomorrowland??? And the Submarine Voyage? Are they talking about Disney LAND?
