disney-world-news-purple-monorail-starbucksThe coffee mug being discontinued by Disney features a monorail with a purple strip down it. The reason the mug is being pulled is because the amusement park’s purple monorail was involved in an accident that killed its driver in 2009. The mug was sold exclusively at Epcot Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), News 13 Orlando notes.

After the crash in 2009 involving the purple monorail, Disney discontinued the color. It also discontinued its pink monorial, which was also involved in the accident. It replaced these two colors with teal and peach, reports News 13 Orlando.

According to a Disney spokesperson, a new version of the purple Epoct mug will be available soon. However, it won’t feature the monorail, reports WSBTV.
