The Suspended Monorail is a rendition of the normal Monorail, except much larger. It is only a good choice for themed parks, particularly the futuristic kinds such as Future World. Its capacity and inability for long trains makes 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, it's one advantage is a maximum height higher than the original Monorail, so it may be more advantageous in hilly terrain. See also Monorail.
The Suspended Monorail was first introduced in the Corkscrew Follies/Added Attractions Expansion Pack.
