High speed, as in scale 400 mph, TTC to MK in less than 30 seconds!
This is a complete revision of the gear system in the monorail, probably it's worst feature.
The new gear system uses slot car parts to increase the speed about 5x, enough so the monorail will not stay on the beam for long. That's with the stock motor, I have a faster motor and higher gearing ready for when I change to new beam (which looks a lot like the real WDW beam shape).
Here is the whole story, with more photos and a video: http://monorail.suzieandbob.com/ho_high_speed.html
