Videos and propaganda under the cut!

Big Thunder Ranch: Disneyland(1986-2016)

Propaganda:

"It had a petting zoo! PETTING ZOO!!! and made Frontierland in general feel more Frontier-y while providing stuff to do and see in the long pass between Frontierland proper and Fantasyland. While the original petting zoo closed in 1996 to make room for the Festival of Fools, it reopened briefly in 2004 following the release of "Home on the Range.""

The Monorail: Disneyland, Disney World, Tokyo Disney

"We stan overwrought public transit"

When is a theme park attraction technically a railway?

I'm not going to make @todayintokyo wait too long on this, because the discussion isn't nearly as spectacular as the question makes it out. In fact, I may not have the exact answer. What I have is maps, and a geeky eye.

This is a railway map of Tokyo, specifically the area around Ueno. We see the massive Ueno station with the Tohoku and Yamanote lines in black, the underground Keisei terminal nearby, and on the left, the green line denotes the Chiyoda subway line. In between, there's this tiny line, just 0.3 km in length (less than a quarter of a mile).

It's the Ueno Zoo Monorail.

Or at least, it was: service ended in 2019 due to escalating maintenance costs. Point is: from a practical standpoint, this was a theme park attraction. And if it's on this map, that's because it was officially a railway. And it's not the only one.

On this map, seen in a timetable book, there's this loop just below Maihara station on the Keiyô line from Tokyo to Chiba. I actually passed Maihara on my last trip to Japan, and saw this myself (but unfortunately, just like Doctor Yellow, no time for photos).

That loop is the Tokyo Disney Resort Monorail.

And it's officially a railway.

And it's got its timetable published in the book! :O

So what makes these officially railways? I don't know for sure, whether it's down to the legal and technical definition of a railway and/or a railway operator, subjecting them to certain standards... What they have in common is that they are monorails, which technically falls under the railway umbrella (whereas, for example, ropeways don't), their purpose is transit albeit within the confines of a park or resort, and charge passengers a fare. Maybe that's all it is.

All I know is, the miniature railway discussion reminded me that I'd noticed that all materials listing or displaying railway lines in Japan will include the Disney Resort Line. It's as if railway maps of Germany included the Europa Park Express monorail.

Roller-coasters wouldn't be classed as railways as they don't provide transit as such (or not the kind we're talking about), and aren't held to transit standards. But, they are vehicles on steel rails, right?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Bayside Station is a 1 of four monorail stations on the Disney Resort Line at Tokyo Disney Resort. It services the Tokyo Disneyland Official Hotels. You'll also find these peach & tan trash and recycling cans, unbranded and tucked away at the station.

Odaiba to Shibuya 🌸🌉🚉🎎

Taking the monorail showed so many beautiful landscapes in Tokyo and distracted us from the fact we missed our stop, and it made me think about to different ways Japan has set up their public transportation for areas that mostly foreigners take versus the areas that mostly locals take. The monorail and skyline trains connected to the airports allow you to see so much of the landscape in Japan while the local trains are almost all hidden deep underground and are very dark unless you are going out of town, which again has a connection to people traveling through the country and are not only meant for the local people who live here. Makes me want to see more of the areas that they may not expect/want foreigners to see.
