Monorail to Entrance Plaza is the resort link that carries guests from the parking and hotel side to the entrance at Towers Street.
The Monorail is mainly practical transport, but it is also part of the classic Alton Towers arrival experience. From the parking and hotel side, the train heads for Entrance Plaza and offers views of parts of the resort before the park day really begins. The system is an automated people mover with two stations, and its length and height make it feel more like a short scenic ride than a simple shuttle.
The line runs between the resort and parking side and Entrance Plaza by Towers Street.
TowersTimes lists V.R.H / Allot & Lomax / C.W.A, Monorail Automated People Mover, 13 August 1987 as the opening date, a length of 2 miles, a maximum height of 30 ft, 8 trains, 96 passengers per train, 4,800 riders per hour and a four-minute ride time. The run to Entrance Plaza uses the same link between the car parks and the park entrance, with views of areas including Forbidden Valley, Gloomy Wood and Katanga Canyon along the way.
The monorail trains come in different colour and theme variants, which helps the trip feel like a recognisable arrival ride as well.
