What do you mean "justification?" Don't you know that old is always bad and new is always good?<BR/><BR/>Anonymous & ItsNotAPlace: Thanks for clearing that up. If there was a Monorail Avocado, it seems like there should also have been a Monorail Burnt Orange, and a Monorail Harvest Gold, and all those other ugly 1968-ish colors.<BR/><BR/>OutsideTheBerm: As you wish. Please see my 2-9-08 post. <BR/><BR/>WalterWorld: You're right, of course... That would be a great before-and-after shot. But that would mean I'd have to walk through Innoventions again.Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-88106176372997704572008-02-09T08:42:00.000-08:002008-02-09T08:42:00.000-08:00Chris,Did you see the study on Mandic Motors bldg?...Chris,<BR/>Did you see the study on Mandic Motors bldg?

I really thought Tomorrowland was the deal as a little kid in 1973-4-5-6.<BR/><BR/>One of the cool things about the 50s-60s-70s: All the spinning/moving signage…Today’s advertisements lack the kinetic energy that was once considered appealing.walterworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319070921534941313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-26656672678068664612008-02-08T10:00:00.000-08:002008-02-08T10:00:00.000-08:00Do you happen to have a photo of the old Mandic Mo...Do you happen to have a photo of the old Mandic Motors complex?outsidethebermhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11272382432824523809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-14622351097752952432008-02-07T09:45:00.000-08:002008-02-07T09:45:00.000-08:00I think that is right...

I kind of recall that from when I was a kid that the Green monorail was not always BRIGHT green.<BR/><BR/>I agree... the Rocket Jet Ride was much more fun when it was way up there in the air.ItsNotAPlacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15022168524885257834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-17246085979607956112008-02-07T08:40:00.000-08:002008-02-07T08:40:00.000-08:00Yes, it's the "avocado green" monorail.

An odd green color selection considering the colors of the other monorails at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
