The Disney Monorail: Imagineering a Highway in the Sky explores the Monorail as both a Disney attraction and an expression of Walt Disney’s interest in transportation and future technology. Authors Jeff Kurtti, Vanessa Hunt, and Paul Wolski combine historical photographs with rare concept and development artwork to trace the system’s design and evolution.
The 208-page book places Disneyland’s Monorail within the larger story of Walt’s interest in demonstrating new ideas through the park. The original Disneyland-Alweg Monorail opened in 1959, and the book follows the development of Disney’s monorail concept and its significance to the parks. It’s particularly useful for readers whose interests overlap Disney history, Imagineering, transportation design, and Disney rail systems.
