Could you imagine the noise it made? ARggghhh, all that scraping...

Just imagine if a train had been passing....

Once my mom had a fever and was picking me up from sixth grade and accidentally dragged the car down the basketball pole and that made an awful noise...can't imagine how this sounded.

Monorail Beam Sustains Damage After Being Struck by Vehicle at Walt Disney World

Here you go... pictures! Looks bad!

The beam looks just fine, the electrical is a little messed up. I doubt it takes long to fix.

Maybe I'm being dumb, but what kind of vehicle would possibly be tall enough to strike up there? A cruise ship?

The top picture of the article I posted added the truck...

Yeah, looks like it was just that hose thing that hit. That's good for sure. Hopefully they can get it fixed pretty quick, though I'd still bet on several days.

Thank God it wasn't a piece of the TRON coaster that was being shipped. That poor attractions has taken enough arrows thus far.

Okay, I'll bite. Here's some Friday vibes for our first post-COVID trip coming up in just over 2 weeks. The monorail news has me nervous.

or, even worse Space220....

Yeah, I figured it must have been a crane or something...but cruise ship makes a better story.

Must have been the long necked crane?

It was a 'Badger' ... basically a monster pressure washer that uses water to dig and excavate. Looks like the hose hit the beams, and you can see the water tank leaning off the back.

Plastic dividers and overflow line markers are gone from Dinosaur this morning!







…I hesitate to post this, but I’m pretty sure the sign outside the park said that park reservations are no longer required. I’m pretty sure that was a mistake or maybe I misread it.

Well, I was wrong. It appears the monorail is back in service. I guess it wasn't too bad.
