Can anyone confirm this "new" monorail is the result of the two crashed monorails? I figure they thought they could save some money on paint and just wrap the thing, call it new and nobody would know the difference.
Seems reasonable...

I can't confirm it but it seems like something that would be done...

No, they are not.
The new train, which was built from salvaged parts of the two that were wrecked, is Monorail Teal, and it has been on the beam for several months now. The stripe is a shade of blue, with the white cutouts at the center of the cars that are on all the non-primary colors.

I've seen them. They look horrible.
Why mess with something that is timeless? Hope that this is temporary.
Again.....HORRIBLE IDEA.....

I remember seeing the monorail decorated as a yellow submarine when they changed 20k to Nemo at DL. I think its kinda cool, as long as its only for a limited time

everything that disney does is a huge billboard? Me and dw just got back yesterday from WDW and we saw it pulling into the station and it looks great, plus it's only the epcot line and to see this going along side the road looks really cool as well, as far as the billboard theory goes Disney is all about billboards even the other monorail trains say something to depcit whats going on at that time like the year of a million dreams trains and celebrate today trains and buses so the fact that this is for Tron is fine. the other monorail trains will be left alone so it's not so bad imho

We were there!
We were at Epcot on Friday when it was debuted and we all thought is was really cool. If they moved it to the MK line I would not like it.
I did ask the cast member at the Epcot station and they said it was made up from the two that crashed...but he could have been mistaken.
I rode a lot last week and I swear that all the coloring inside the trains are pink...I am sure I am wrong, but it seemed like it!

 Think it looks like a cool fast monorail train! I know they only changed the Epcot monorail but I really hate the balloons on the MK monorail.

Just back from a rather pleasant trip. Got something to share re the "Tron-orail."
We saw on at least two occasions the "Tron-orail" on the MK line - it was running express from the TTC to the MK. I have some pics that I'll eventually get to uploading if anyone is interested. So no, Virginia, it is not "Epcot exclusive." (Although admittedly, for most of the week, we saw it only on the Epcot line).
For what it's worth, I do think it looks cool - but I'm not sure I like the idea of decorating the monorails!

We just got back yesterday too. Rode the Tron Monorail once and saw it around Epcot many times, although, only one of the colors (the teal one). Never saw the other one, unless there is only one? (Thought the concept art showed two different color schemes...)
My kids loved it. They called it the "Motorcycle Monorail." I thought it was cool in person.

It's different colors on the two sides. The left side has the blue-green light trail; the right is orange-yellow. The Epcot line boards from the left at TTC, and from the right at Epcot. And on both the Epcot and MK Express lines, you exit on the same side you boarded from, so you would only see one side of the train.
The person who said they spotted a pink stripe at the doorway is right; it's Monorail Coral.
