What a great Disneyland solution! Issue free Mickey Mouse ears for opening
day. There's nothing modern about monorails - you could build a steam one
like they had in Ireland; it carried freight, if you carried a piano in one
side of a wagon, you could balance it by putting a cow in the other side.
Light rail is a modern, flexible solution - being installed in cities
throughout North America and Britain.
