Walt Disney World Monorail System
#1
It's no secret that I'm a fan of monorails, and some of the more unusual transportation technologies, in general.  When traveling, I always make sure to set aside time to explore the systems in the areas I'll be visiting.

I was on business in Florida this past week solo, and so decided to put together a little video of one of my favourite systems, the Walt Disney World Monorail System.



Of note, this system transports some 150 000 people a day over 25 km of track, and services a complex the size of the city of Kitchener.

Here's a great map showing the complexity of the transportation network at the complex.

Highly recommend this fantastic book by The Monorail Society president, Kim Pedersen:

Monorails: Trains of the Future - Now Arriving
