LEGO Master Monorail?

On Boone Langston's personal Facebook feed he has a post you can ask questions under. It does seem like there is more to that coaster story. Especially if something shifted during the move process. In his feed you can also get insight into how long 15 hours is in reality.

I was trying to figure out whether the track pieces were new or old gray. Jamie certainly made a big deal about the uniqueness of the motor for something that hasn’t been sold in 30 years.

I’m also shocked they didn’t let the lumberjack team fix adjust their roller coaster since it was working perfectly earlier in the program.

Abe,

I had the same thoughts about the monorail.

Who knows, maybe it will raise such interest, and questions at Lego stores, that it might come back. Now that Lego owns Bricklink, maybe they will sell monorail parts and track at Bricklink prices - $20-25 per straight peice,

As for the show - Jamie is tough.

Does anybody else find it strange that the central focus of the first episode of the LEGO Master show has a 25+ year old monorail as the main focus? I assume that LEGO had some passing association with this show and they picked monorail. You know, the one theme they said they can’t produce anymore.

In general, I’m not a huge fan of reality shows but as they go this one wasn’t too bad. Some of the contestants were obviously really good LEGO builders. The winners were very good. I was disappointed that the lumberjack roller coaster failed. I think it got screwed up when they had to rush to move it into position.
