My Design for Monorail Expansion

Here is a rough draft map I created with the path tool on Google Earth. This is one of the monorail routes that could connect the more distant places of the resort.

Stops traveling from East to West:

1. Animal Kingdom Lodge
2. Animal Kingdom
3. All-Star Resorts
4. Hollywood Studios
5. Boardwalk Hotel (short walk to EPCOT resorts)
6. EPCOT (transfer to Magic Kingdom monorail)
7. Typhoon Lagoon
8. Downtown Disney
9. Saratoga Springs Resort

Rough draft monorail route: (red dots are waypoints not stations)



This monorail route runs 11.34 miles, and would be approx. 24 miles including both eastbound and westbound tracks. The route would reach 5 resorts:
1. Animal Kingdom Lodge
2. All-Star Resorts
3. Boardwalk Hotel
4. Swan and Dolphin Hotel
5. Yacht and Beach Club

The goal is to minimize the commute when traveling from resorts to parks. This route is circuitous and would require some guests to transfer twice to get to Magic Kingdom. On my next draft I improved some of those problems:



This design would involve 3 routes and would replace the express monorail between the Transportation and Ticket Center and the Magic Kingdom.
