The Monorail is a historic amusement park attraction, originally designed as a transportation system and soon transformed into a panoramic and immersive experience. Since the 1950s, monorail rides have been introduced in parks to offer visitors a relaxing way to admire the landscape from above, becoming increasingly integrated into themed environments.
In Italy, their popularity grew from the 1990s, with iconic installations like Mira Express at Mirabilandia, which has provided an elevated tour of the park since 1999. Beyond its entertainment value, the monorail often serves a logistical function, helping guests move efficiently through large amusement parks and improving visitor flow.
