This section is dedicated to Kim A Pedersen, founder of The Monorail Society, who passed away on January 24, 2017. He had just published a book on monorail systems titled Monorails: Trains of the Future – Now Arriving. He will undoubtedly be missed in the community.
Many amusement parks, zoos, and world’s fairs featured monorail systems on their properties. This subsection of The Amusement Parkives is all about these monorail systems which operated there. These are sometimes referred as “Novelty monorails.” See below for a partial list of monorail manufacturers and/or designers.
