In an update to today’s earlier story, sources indicate that Disney changed direction and decided not to reopen the EPCOT Monorail line in the foreseeable future. Disney tested the operation of monorails on the EPCOT line a few days ago, but it was decided that opening the EPCOT service would cause some physical distance problems in some places, especially at resort monorail stations where space is limited.
Cast members have been seen placing new distance markers at the EPCOT Monorail station at the Transport and Ticket Center today, but this is to help with the distance to the current lines extended to the Express Monorail.
With this decision, it seems likely that the EPCOT Monorail will not return to service until the pandemic has subsided.
