Disneyland getting all new monorails

Earlier this year, Disneyland got a little more zany with the Muppet Mobile Laboratory, but as soon as the park opens up early next year, guests should notice a bit of an upgrade on the monorail. Reportedly, the famed park will be running its first all new monorail car in a score, and while details are scant on the actual engineering upgrades, we do know that the electric cars will sport all new hues. The first in line will feature blue glass and red stripes that "change color in the sunlight," while the next two will be blue with purple glass and orange with blue glass. So yeah, it's probably not enough to make a special trip out to Anaheim for, but if you needed just one more excuse to don those iconic black ears and pretend you're young again, you've got it.

If the paint changes color in the light I'm guessing it's that special UV activated paint. We went on a cruise this year and all the ports had stores that sell stuff that's painted with that. Inside it's one color and the second it gets UV light it changes color. It's not that funky metallic six color paint they were using on cars a few years ago. Although the way they paint those cars and the molecular makeup of the paint is pretty amazing.

They look like something from mass effect.
