Monorail is a Monorail built by Swiss manufacturer Von Roll currently located at Alton Towers in Alton, Staffordshire, England, UK.
The Monorail is situated outwith the park and has two stations. It is used as a means of transportation between the car parks and hotels, and the main park entrance. It has a track length of 2800 metres and a top speed of 27.36 km/h.[1]
History
The Monorail previously operated at Expo '86 in Canada.[2] During its first month of operation the ride was unreliable due mostly to elecrical issues. The manufacturer, Von Roll, blamed this on Expo providing electricity to the ride four months later than expected which reduced the time available for testing.[3]
