“Disney began sneak previews of its new California Adventure theme park last weekend by driving the Monorail through the nearly finished area. The Monorail had stopped part of its run - through the old parking lot -- while the new theme park was being built. Disney spokeswoman Michele Nachum confirmed late Tuesday that the Monorail is making "periodic" runs through California Adventure. A Disney employee and a Disney expert said the Monorail is touring the new park mostly at night and likely will run through it this weekend. Disney won't officially confirm this; the times may vary.” The new theme park is scheduled to open February 8th, and also includes a 800 Hotel and a Retail/Dining/Entertainment Complex.
