New Monorail announced and Tiki Room opens on August 15

It was just announced via the Disney blog that the Tiki room will in fact open on monday August 15.  I'll do my best to head out that way and check it out.  But the most exciting news that was mentioned in that blog is that the Walt Disney World Monorail system will again be a full 12 train set.  This is exciting news for me especially since i'm a big monorail nerd.  Monorail Peach will soon be joining the fleet and start operating in the fall.  The blog also states you may see it being tested in the coming weeks.  If you want to read a little more in depth here is the Disney Blog.  My guess is that the peach is the repair sections of the retired monorail pink and purple.  If you were not aware, in 2009 there was a tragic and deadly monorail accident that took place at the TTC where two monorails collided resulting in the unfortunate loss of a monorail driver.  Monorail Teal, which has been running for almost two years now, is the undamaged sections of pink and purple.  So again, my guess is that peach is the parts that were damaged in the accident and repaired.  Here is an article about the accident. http://www.wesh.com/news/19955188/detail.html
