Disneyland has yet to open and they could not buy tickets when they got there – but nearly 20,000 people tried out the train service from Sunny Bay to the theme park on Monday (August 1, 2005).
The only glitch came early in the day, when one of the driverless automated trains stopped at the wrong point along the platform of the Disneyland Resort station at 8am, leaving it out of alignment with the platform screen doors and delaying passengers for two minutes.
