All right, I feel better now that the Monorail pulled into the station. At least some of the guests are headed off into that future-to-be where this Tomorrowland once stood. We'll meet you in the same place, give or take three decades . . . and make fun of your hats. Oh wait, 80s fashion is making a comeback in 2000, so we'll just shut up about your clothes.

Above is the Mark II version of Monorail train, originally launched in 1961 and damned short by today's standards. Then again, people had the buckets to get around, so less need for Monorail cars. Buckets would rule the future, no doubt about that.
