Alton Towers Monorail | Tower Street Station to the Hotels and Car Parks (June 2023) [4K]

[4K] Alton Towers Monorail, join us for a trip on the Monorail from the Towers Street Station to the Car Park Station as we take a ride on the Fish Bowl monorail and take in some of the iconic Alton Towers attractions along the route. The Alton Towers monorail opened in the summer of 1987 to carry passengers from the car parks to the newly created Towers Street entrance which opened the previous year. Prior to the Monorail's opening, guests either had to walk or use a shuttle bus. A grand ceremony was held on the 13th of August 1987 with an official opening by actor William Shatner. The Star Trek actor was chosen due to the space theming of the trains with each one being named after a planet in the solar system. The Monorail was manufactured by Von Roll Holding and it started life at the Expo 86 World's Fair in Vancouver, Canada. It was then shipped to Alton Towers when the Expo ended. In 2008, the Monorail Trains were beginning to look a little dated and it was decided to refurbish them and each train received a unique theme designed by Sarner. Themes include Splash Landings, Mutiny Bay, Explorer, Moo-norail, Celebration, Jelly Bean, Strawberry and Fish Bowl. Whilst the theming looks fantastic from the outside as the Monorail passes by, it does distort the view from inside the train as can be seen in the video. However, we can still make out attractions such as Galactica, Nemesis as well as the Congo River Rapids and Runaway Mine Train. How long does the Alton Towers Monorail take? We timed the monorail at around 4 minutes and 45 seconds from setting off from Towers Street Station and arriving at the Car Park Station. There is queuing and boarding time to add to this but this will vary depending on how busy the park is. The monorail is free of charge and runs from 9am till an hour after closing, subject to availability. Queues appear long but move very quickly., although at peak times, i.e. park opening/closing the wait can be around 40 minutes other times are usually walk-on. How long does take to walk from the Alton Towers Entrance to the Car Parks and Hotel? The walking time varies depending on which car park you park in, it takes around 10-25 minutes. A rough guide is Car Park A, B, C is 10 -15 minutes, Car Park D, E, F, G, H is 18 - 22 minutes and Car Park J, K is 25 minutes. Alton Towers also runs many events, throughout the year including the Alton Towers Mardi Gras, Oktoberfest and Scarefest as well as Firework and Christmas events You can check our video of the Alton Towers Monorail from the Hotels to the Entrance here on our channel:    • Monorail at Alton Towers | How Long Does i...   For more on Alton Towers, check out our Alton Towers playlist: ▶️    • Alton Towers Playlist by PlanIt Park   including rides, walkthroughs, full tours, shows and events. 🔔Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoyed this video.
