>>1994758I think the main appeal of Monorail in a post-futurama largely car dependent America was that image of sleek futuristic and quiet trains running through existing cityscape. Cheapish concrete fabrication and manageable construction costs compared to the astronomical environmental review and red tape of today. Hell Seattle's Monorail just kept ballooning in cost every year it dragged on. No idea if LA's monorail would have worked out either had they gotten to actually building it. While I was in Taiwan it was hilarious how they just blasted these huge elevated MRT lines through Urban areas, very blade runner but at least I can get where I'm going.
>>1995285Preaching to the choir here. I've never been directly involved in parks or attractions but I grew up in A/V and entertainment, hell Grandpa worked on D'land in 55 and a lot of the tech crew in Anaheim are from my home town. For all of his faults Eisner at least had vision, now there's so much blatant bullshit. I'm amazed Joe Rohde is coming back after all this, it's appalling how bad even regular maintenance is now.
