Busch Gardens - Suspended Monorail

[ogryn]

Does anyone know why this ride was removed? I remember it sharing the station with the cable cars. I loved it because I had never seen a suspended monorail before.

Does anyone have any pictures/videos?

Thanks :wave:

I thought I had a few pictures of it but found out I don't. Last I heard it was sold to Kennywood Park in PA. to transport Guest from the parking lot across the highway to the park. I don't think it was ever installed due to a zoning problem crossing a state road.

I did manage to find a picture, although it is not very good as it was done before I really figure out the best way to post pictures online and I am to busy and to lazy to go back an correct everything.

Isn't that always the case after a few years...

On this page you can find a few other pictures that only show the track.
