Epcot Starbucks mug pulled for monorail image color

Thank heavens. I've been losing sleep over the fact that these were on the shelves.

Maybe not a big deal in the grand scheme of things... But I bet the family of the killed driver finds it respectful. Good for Disney. When I read the headline I thought Disney might be a bit anal retentive on this. But after reading the synopsis I applaud them.

I haven't talked to a monorail CM in awhile, but my understanding was that there were two things still in motion. The first is that the monorail would be recategorized as some kind of commercial transportation instead of a ride, meaning different licensing and other standards. The other was that they were hoping to largely automate as much of the system as possible. I know they added some kind of radio antennae along all of the tracks at some point, but no idea what exactly it's for.

Can you imagine how much the few that were sold will go for on ebay?

Screamscape is reporting that they are selling as much as $300.

I'm sorry and I don't mean to be insensitive toward the situation. But the incident was years ago, and if you look at the mug, the whole design concept is in a purple/pink tone. The monorail is only pink because that is the design scheme of the mug, which by the way is pretty cool.

Sorry, knee jerk and overkill to me to pull the mug.
