More context
In December 2022, Walibi Rhône-Alpes took a notable step: its winter season was no longer limited to private corporate events, but opened to regular visitors for the first time. The event was called Merry ChristWaaas and formed part of a wider strategy by owner Compagnie des Alpes, which was gradually making more of its parks accessible during the Christmas period.
For MonORail, the key detail was its operational role. The attraction appeared in the list of 21 rides planned to operate, alongside Timber, Mystic, La Coccinelle, Le Totem, Airboat and Melody Road. Water rides, by contrast, remained closed. MonORail therefore belonged to the winter-proof attraction line-up with which the park tried to offer visitors a full day despite cold weather and seasonal limits.
For guests, that gave the calm transport ride a broader purpose than a summer circuit around the park. During a first public winter opening, a ride like MonORail helps families, children and less thrill-focused visitors spread out across the site. In the attraction s history, the article mainly records that MonORail was included in a new seasonal concept.
