Avengers wrapped monorail rumored for Walt Disney World

While The Avengers movie doesn’t debut in theaters until May 4, 2012, guests may finally be able to experience Marvel at the Walt Disney World Resort. We’ve heard strong rumors that Monorail Red will be getting a makeover with an Avengers wrap in April to run on the Magic Kingdom loop.

Above is our concept rendering of a possible Avengers wrapped monorail. Monorail Red has been spotted backstage with its cab painted black for the supposed Avengers makeover.

This would be the second time a monorail has had a wrap installed to promote a film, the last one being for Tron: Legacy last March. While the “Tron-o-rail” took guests between Epcot and the Ticket and Transportation Center, rumors say the “Aveng-o-rail” or “Herorail” will take guests between Magic Kingdom and the Ticket and Transportation center, possibly due to restrictions with Universal Orlando Resort. Marvel is owned by Disney, but Universal has exclusive rights to use certain characters in East Coast theme parks. The Epcot monorail makes a loop inside Epcot.

Here’s a video of the Tron: Legacy themed monorail, dubbed the Tron-o-rail, in action. Stay tuned to Orlando Attractions Magazine for more information on the Aveng-o-rail.

Marvel’s ‘The Avengers’-Themed Monorail to Debut This Spring at Walt Disney World Resort

posted on March 30th, 2012 by Jennifer Fickley-Baker, Social Media Manager

Hi everyone, we have exciting news to share today – our partners at Marvel Studios are bringing Marvel’s “The Avengers” to Walt Disney World Resort this spring!

In Marvel’s “The Avengers,” super heroes team up to pull the world back from the brink of disaster when an unexpected enemy threatens global security.

Similar to the “Tron”-themed wrap, one of our Magic Kingdom Park Monorails is currently undergoing a Marvel’s “The Avengers”-themed changeover to celebrate the May 4 opening of the film, which stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Tom Hiddleston, with Stellan Skarsgård and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury.

Here’s a sneak peek, with more details to come.

I've been squee-ing for days over this... Not only do I love most of the avengers (I kinda find Nick Fury annoying) but I practically worship the director of this movie and the fact that they are coming out with a lego line for it but now the aveng-o-rail im pretty pumped....

I think it would be cool if they wrapped a few of the busses for promotions like this... especially if they made special costumes for the bus drivers ... I think Lou would love that... can't let the monorail guys have all the fun

Great idea Doc, but that won't happen. Buses aren't cool looking.

Also, the Monocraft pilots don't have that much fun. Pilots, yup, that's what the lever pushers are called, don't have much interaction with guests.

The Avengers’ monorail debuts at Walt Disney World – Video/Photos

The newly wrapped monorail for promotion of Marvel’s upcoming film, The Avengers, debuted today at Walt Disney World. The new black design features many of the heroes from the movie.

If you’d like to see The Avenger monorail in person, and take a ride, it’s running on the Magic Kingdom express rail from the Ticket and Transportation Center to the Magic Kingdom.

One end of the monorail features The Avengers symbol. In the middle is the name of the movie and its release date, May 4. Then at the other end are the heroes, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and The Hulk.

The Avengers monorail is scheduled to run through late summer 2012. The wrap is covering Monorail Red. The design is the same on both sides.
