Towers Street : Monorail

The Monorail was installed in 1987 and opened by Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner, a year after the construction of Towers Street. As the new car park was almost a mile away from the main entrance, guests had a choice of either walking, or taking the provided bus-train transport. The trains came from Canada following the 1986 Expo.

Even though Towers Street had been constructed in 1986, it was always intended to install a monorail system, and the buildings at the top of Towers Street were designed to incorporate it. The monorail was a welcome sight then, and still is now, although it can get extremely busy towards closing time.

You'll be thinking the queue for Nemesis was nothing compared to this!!! The monorail has a high throughput, so your wait shouldn't be too long.
