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.
