Today I stopped by the Magic Kingdom to check out the construction progress on the Seven Dwarves Mine Train Coaster and was pleasantly surprised to find the Avengerail running for guests!

^ The only thing that wrap advertises to me is that the monorail would look pretty badass all black.

Sadface - it looks like they wrapped Monorail Red for the Avengers promotion! Why didn't they wrap a less-cool color like Peach or Lime? :lmao:

^ I like lime. :cry:

Only thing that would make that Avengerail better, is if ScarJo personally escorted you in and out of it.

Do we know the manufacturer of this coaster? I can't find info on it anywhere.

Is it Vekoma? (I would assume so....)

^ Yeah I think it is.

Looking good! Is the construction causing much disruption in the park? I doubt it's as bad as DCA!

Looks like another Vekoma to me, but I could be wrong.
