This was a wonderful read about the history of monorails throughout the world starting as far back as the 1800s. The tome also included much Disney lore and background information including stories of Walt and the development of the parks. The book reveals just how passionate Walt was about incorporating innovation and development in the parks but also as influences for the world at large. He really wanted to see a Protoype Community of Tomorrow built.
The Disney Monorail: Imagineering a Highway in the Sky by Jeff Kurtti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fascinating history of monorails in general and a look at the deep desire by Walt to progress society using technology and innovation. Some great history and photos within this book
