Disney Monorails

[DisneyMemories]

Hope this fits this topic, With all the great threads about those wonderful disney monorails that we all love the monorails in the disney theme parks,but have you ever wondered what other parks or zoos,etc have working monorails worldwide?
Here in n.e.ohio and my fellow (disney) ohio forum members can agree on this that we have the only operating monorail in ohio at geauga lake amusement park (www.geaugalake.com) click on rides,then rides again and you'll see the Bellaire Express ohio's only operating monorail (seasonal of course).
Now Disney can't be beat when it comes to monorails,but l thought it be cool to know of other places worldwide that have these wonderful one track wonders we call monorails. Just thought it make a interesting topic.
Also do Toyko disney and Euro (paris) disney have monorails in their parks?

I believe that the holiday camp called "Butlins" in Minehead was the first place in the UK to install a monorail:

Looks like it's still going today:

Alton Towers in the UK has one - in 1986 they tried to copy WDW and remove the car park to a remote location, and monorail guests in to the main gate. It still goes today, but a bit creakingly - the park bought it from Canada Expo `78 I think

look here

Also this is a COMPREHENSIVE site, with worldwide information:

I wet myself on the Butlin's Monorail when I was a little 'un (about 1 or 2 I think) :lookaroun


Alton Tower's monorail is meant to be getting some sponsorship this year, and therefore hopefully a bit of a refurb. IIRC, it is Cadbury's again.

Dave Simons a former WDW railee wrote a series of articles dealing with novelty monorails:

State Fair of Oklahoma

Our great state fair of Oklahoma has a monorail. However, it is pretty loud when you are standing near the track. It reminds me of WDW but only in concept. I love the monorail, and will be staying in a resort that offers it next time, b/c I hardly ever get to ride it if I don't. :brick:
