Riding the Mud Island Monorail, Memphis, TN

[@cougsjohnson1]

These people probably had no idea that they would be some of the last people to ever ride this Iconic Monorail. Very Sad 😢

[@awesomestuff26]

Yeah I didn't realize it would close down as well. I wish I had a better video than this, but it is what it is.

[@dfa3366]

Lot of concrete and metal for a short ride. Looks like it’s at least 5 mins. I read it’s now closed because the park is basically empty.

[@Miguel53de]

The system is different than the Wuppertal monorail. And it is much slower. But interesting of course.

[@blueconversechucks]

What's the total distance this system covers? Is there a good functional reason for it, or is it just a goofy attraction?

[@absolutelynothingtoseehere]

Goofy attraction. Fun to do once, but a PITA way to get to the destination. It's shut down now, though.

@@shanewalters2565 some people got stranded on it back in 2018. They shut it down, it’s inoperable and going to cost a bunch of money to fix it

A woman died in 1994 falling to her death while cleaning the outside if the lift.

Looks like Wuppertal monorail technology.

[@awesomestuff26]

It was built by VSL Corporation

I didn't watch the end till now, it's actually cable operated. Cool nevertheless.
