The Monorail is the fastest form of transport ride, attaining speeds of 23 mph ([[RCT]] and [[RCT2]]). If you have a very large and moderately flat park with lots of rides, a Monorail can be a very efficient form of transport if it is built in a loop around the park and at least. The Monorail can also be used in shuttle mode, where it starts from one station and goes to the other, stops, and goes backwards to the initial station. Shuttle mode can also be used for the Monorail train to go from a station to the end of the (abruptly-ending) track, where it will stop, reverse direction, and return to the station. The only problem with the Monorail is that it dramatically decreases speed when attempting to traverse a hill. The problem can be avoided if the Monorail track is completely level. |

Construction
Track is a box-section steel rail supported on square section steel posts. Trains are powered and run along the top of the rail with additional wheels on either side for stability.
Constraints
- Maximum track slope - 25°
- Maximum height above ground - 32 feet
Vehicles
- Small Monorail Cars
- Streamlined Monorail Cars (picture above)
