Disneyland hit the brakes on some of its most popular attractions this week just as Spring Break crowds poured in.
The theme park’s famous Monorail — the state’s first daily operating monorail and a park icon since 1959 — went out of service Monday, according to Disneyland’s official refurbishment calendar.
The elevated train has long been a fan favorite for its sweeping views of Disneyland Park and its quick ride between Tomorrowland and Downtown Disney. It was originally built to showcase Walt Disney’s vision for futuristic transportation.

Other fan favorites at the legendary theme park remain offline as well.
