2026: General Discussion

My guess is Monorail won't be opening straight away as they're currently fitting RAP and Fastrack queues.

Is it a possibility Monorail could be fitted with Air gates to allow more efficient throughputs I would like Monorail to run consistently 6 trains but in order to do that they will have to update the loading procedure

People have been suggesting this for as long as I’ve been on this board.

Without knowing the whys and why nots, that both the Skyride and Monorail aren’t ready (if that is indeed the truth) suggests to me that Alton Towers don’t really consider these as rides, and so ranked them as lower priority.

For me personally, it won’t make a difference, but that doesn’t make it acceptable. Parks should be able to get everything open in time, and if not, communicate a bit earlier than a day or two beforehand.

They could easily get Garmendale to knock some gates up for it. They clearly don't care.

The monorail and sky ride will likely will be returning as an upcharge attraction, hence the investment in the actual path to the park ..

Actually on this one I don’t think it’s a lack of “care” per se, it’s a lack of strategy. They just don’t know what to do with the monorail full stop so won’t invest in them.
