Disneyland Monorail (before it shut down for refurbishment)

I went to Disneyland recently and spent the day at the Magic Kingdom! This was my first time there since I was a young kid. I had a blast riding a lot of the old rides I remember and experiencing a few new ones. Riding the monorail around was something I’ve been wanting to do my whole adult life so I was incredibly glad for this opportunity, especially since I found out that it is currently shut down for refurbishment. I rode many rides which offered unique views of the monorail, especially the Autopia. I was amazed at how close to the ground the monorail track was compared to so many monorail trains I have ridden around the world. The small scale of the trains and how close it was to the ground made it feel much more intimate. This small, single track monorail isn’t good for mass transportation, but it showcases what monorails are good for; going around sharp curves and up and down grade elevations with ease. I was also impressed with how smooth the ride is, very much like the Walt Disney World Monorail. These Disney monorails are way smoother than any Bombardier monorail I have ridden.
