Disneyland Monorail FRONT view! ROUND TRIP

[@beyerbasketball7546]

This takes me back! I remember as a kid with my family trying to maneuver so we could ride in the cockpit. All your videos take me back to incredible memories as a kid.

[@everettfryman1024]

Thank you Alex, for this very relaxing video perspective of the Mark VII monorail round-trip journey. I truly appreciate it.

[@amyalvarez467]

Awwwww this is soooo awesome!! I could just cry! We were there that day too. Thank you so much for posting this!

[@oceanViews64]

I love that horn !!! makes you feel like you're at Disneyland

[@kato223]

Stupid COVID! I miss DL so much!!! Thanks for an awesome video Alex! It kind of helps making me feel like I am there riding the monorail. :)

[@colleencrane4843]

So miss Disneyland, even though I rarely go I miss it 😥thank you for this

[@SilverStarz]

Great show, thank you so much.

[@rochestas]

My heart needed that 😊 Thank you, Alex!

[@AlextheHistorian]

My pleasure!

[@lucyoliviasaunders1955]

I love riding in the cockpit, it's so fun :)

It was so nice. Never ride ir on the cockpit. Thanks a lot for the video!

[@AlextheHistorian]

You are welcome!

[@conchrepublictheband]

Love this, thank you!

[@Xaunaturalz]

Thanks Alex for the round trip on the Monorail. Looking forward to more PNW videos. Geezer aka Portland Scott.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Unfortunately I probably won't be posting anymore PNW videos, or at least not on this channel. Those videos have garnered a lot of negative criticism and aren't watched by enough people.

[@Xaunaturalz]

Keep up the good work on the Disney videos.

[@sfrsteel]

If I would have known you were there this day I would have bought you dinner Alex... And I know I was there because my AP (in normal times) expires on this date. My birthday is 10-10 so I usually spend the week in the park.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Well thanks Richard! By the way, Happy Early Birthday!

[@Ericland_Entertainment_Inc]

Happy birthday to you! Tell everyone they have to do whatever you want!

[@sfrsteel]

@@Ericland_Entertainment_Inc you think Chapek would listen if I told him to open DLR. Enough already of this?

[@sfrsteel]

Btw Alex... I told you you would find a new groove after your move... Who knew back then it was not just you that would not be going to Disneyland as often...

[@michaeltaylor1603]

Great video! Hope you are fine with fires in Oregon. Be safe! Keep us posted. Michael T.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Thank you! We've had rain for the last 48 hours so things are getting better, but for a while my home was in the evacuation zone.

[@michaeltaylor1603]

OMG! I'm SOOOO glad you're okay!!!! Thanks 4 responding. It's a cRazY year 4 both of us. I'm still a server, but other serving job on hiatus. It's with MLB.

[@davidmiles533]

Thank you Alex

[@brucemarshall5110]

Love this!

[@cliffl2406]

Another nice video.

[@LloydAntonyLB]

So annoying that the Monorail 🚝 stops running if the weather is above 80 degrees. That’s most days now.

[@AlextheHistorian]

Yeah, I wish they would repair the A/C on it, so it can keep running.

[@jasonpiatt4342]

I wonder if you've ever ran into Peter and Kitra from ordinary adventures?

[@AlextheHistorian]

I've ran into everyone at one point or another.

[@Sheri7029]

Why is nobody in the front monitoring the monorail train fumctioning

[@AlextheHistorian]

They were. The Disneyland Monorail can't move without a pilot.

[@jetsons101]

Hi Alex, how did you get to ride in the front seats? Weren't they not used anymore for safety? Two questions... 1) has anybody ever walked along the horizonal beam of the monorail at night after the park has closed? 2) Will the people mover ever open again or be used for a other type of ride? Looks like you had a fun ride. Thanks........

[@AlextheHistorian]

Disneyland Monorail allows rides in the cockpit with the pilot. Its at their discretion though, just ask politely. Yes a young man walked along the monorail beam in the 1970s, but the park was open. And no its unlikely that peoplemover track will ever be put into use again.

[@jetsons101]

@@AlextheHistorian To bad, the people mover was great. Thanks.....

[@jetsons101]

Hi Alex, just got home. Just north of the Haunted Mansion ride building and just south of Splash Mountain there is a somewhat small triangular shaped area just outside of the R.R. tracks I noticed on google earth birds eye view. Take a look if you have time there seems to be some steps, just south what looks like some big water pipes for Splash Mountain, that lead down to a tunnel?? Ever been there?? Have a great weekend.

[@AlextheHistorian]

@@jetsons101 its not a tunnel, its more like an open-air space with lots of equipment and there's access doors that lead to various portions of the Splash Mountain finale.

[@jetsons101]

@@AlextheHistorian Thanks for info......

[@brainysmurf74]

Disneyland so totally beats the Magic Kingdom on so many levels.

[@chrismetzger8875]

Next stop Disneyland.

[@GhostbustersFrozenEmpire2024]

1:55 Golden Gate Bridge still remains

[@GhostbustersFrozenEmpire2024]

And the viewing windows from the stores

[@rileyvogt6396]

What camera do you use?

[@AlextheHistorian]

DJI Osmo Pocket

[@torloni13]

At the Tomorrowland Station, there's another rail on the right side, that seems abandoned.... what's that?? Always a great video, btw!!

[@AlextheHistorian]

The abandoned track at tomorrowland station was for the Disneyland peoplemover which was replaced by Rocket Rods in 1998. Rocket Rods closed in 2000, the peoplemover tracks have sat abandoned since.

[@torloni13]

@@AlextheHistorian Thank you, great historian!!

[@kimopuppy]

Love the Monorail but you'd think they would have done better than just show the backside of the building and a plain ugly one at that. They could not even be bothered to hide the equipment on top of the buildings

[@AlextheHistorian]

True but its gold for me because I used the monorail to shoot video of things you can't see from any other angle, and used them in my history videos 😅

[@kimopuppy]

@@AlextheHistorian I have a slide I took from the front of the Monorail way back when DCA was a parking lot. I have so many slides it just takes time to go through it

[@0oidiedinatimemachineo024]

well that is what disneyland is if you see it from the top.. like for instance all the rides are just inside big buildings basically but when you're on foot walking through the park you don't notice all that stuff.

[@kimopuppy]

@@0oidiedinatimemachineo024 True but apparently Diseny only cares what people see from the ground
