Took the family to The Incredibles last night...most excellent!

I loved the set design (do you call it set design when it is all CG?)
and one thing that jumped out was the egg-shaped monorail/personal
transport thingy on the island.  Extreme cool.

I also caught a reference on slashdot a while back about a company
(Taxi 2000) trying to sell a similar thing called the SkyWay Express

Any thoughts on how something like this could be built in Lego?  I've
never actually touched Lego monorail, so don't know if it could
support little pods rather than train type cars...
