That is good press. News cameras are drawn to things that move. No one will take any of this seriously until there is a 1:1 version they can interact with on old fashioned video. VR is the way to jump ahead and experience the ride before the real unit is built but the problem is the news reporters are not utilizing VR yet in their reporting. We are all in the problem of knowing in our mind's VR exactly what will be, but communicating that to the public is handicapped by imperfect communication tools of 2022.
My suggestion for improvement of the scale model is to use continuous splines for the monorail path centerlines, not arcs connected at the tangents.
