Q: EPCOT opening day '82 - what color monorail?

[RickNWendy]

What color was the monorail that appeared in the opening day celebration at EPCOT in 1982? It was there on the track when all the balloons were being let go, etc...

Thanks!

In the park book "Walt Disney World Resort - A Magical Year-By-Year Journey" (1988) a photo of opening day shows two Monorails. One is Monorail Black and the other is either Monorail Purple or Monorail Black in some sort of double exposure.

As seen on the VHS tape- "Walt Disney World EPCOT Center A Souvenir Program" that was sold in the parks in 1982... it is monorail BLACK. They show the balloon release with the monorail going across the screen.
