Suspended Monorail

The suspended monorail is a type of monorail that is suspended above the ground because the track is above the train cars.

Construction
Track is a box-section steel rail suspended by steel support legs. Trains are powered and hang underneath the rail.

Constraints

 * Maximum track slope - 25°
 * Maximum height above ground - 52 feet

Vehicles

 * Suspended Monorail Cars (picture above)

Operating Modes

 * Continuous circuit mode
 * Shuttle mode

Other Information
The Suspended Monorail is similar to the Monorail, except much larger. It is a good choice for themed parks, particularly the futuristic kinds such as Future World. Its lower capacity and short trains make it not the most efficient choice, coupled with its maximum speed of 14 mph/22 kmh versus the Monorail's absolute top speed of 22 mph/35 kmh. However, its one advantage is a maximum height higher than the original Monorail, so it may be more advantageous in hilly terrain.
