After running clockwise on Sunday, the Magic Kingdom Monorail has changed again, resuming its regular counter-clockwise operations.
Magic Kingdom Express Monorail Loop
The Express Monorail that directly connects Magic Kingdom to the Transportation and Ticket Center reversed direction, running clockwise on Sunday. It’s back to running counter-clockwise as of Monday morning.
The Resort Monorail runs clockwise, and Cast Members can move the train off the loop and into the monorail barn quicker because it’s already going in the right direction to go through the switch track.
Walt Disney World Monorail
The Walt Disney World Monorail system is dubbed the “public transport of the future.” The system opened with the resort in 1971. When EPCOT opened in 1982, it was expanded to visit the second park.
It currently runs twelve Mark VI Monorails across three lines. Each train is identified by their main color. It transports over 150,000 guests daily. The Mark VI Monorails have been in operation since 1989.
