Disneyland Monorail Turnstile to Get Digital Overhead Signs After Permit Filing
The upgrade equips the Downtown Disney turnstile with real-time displays to improve guest communication during disruptions.
Overview
- A newly filed permit confirms two digital overhead entrance and exit displays will replace printed signs at the Downtown Disney monorail gate.
- The move aligns the monorail entry with other resort turnstiles using standardized digital displays for consistent guest information.
- Dynamic screens will allow instant updates on operational status, wait times, directional guidance, and emergency notices.
- The filing follows a Jan. 8, 2025 power interruption that stopped two trains and led to elevated evacuations assisted by the Anaheim Fire Department, with no injuries reported.
- Because the monorail draws power through its concrete guideway beam, outages can halt multiple trains, and the new signage is a communication enhancement rather than a mechanical fix.
