Seattle Monorail ride from Downtown to the Space Needle.

[@jamesmurray8558]

I use to ride the Mon-rail when I was Seattle.Amazed how close it was to the buildings.

[@nathancorcoran5347]

It’s another beautiful train. This is a amazing monorail, great video.

[@North_Cascade_Railfan]

Gotta love the monorail, I remember riding that on both the red and blue on when I was under 5 years old, I could not get enough of that, I gotta get a video of this!

[@dynjarren8355]

This is Cool! Take the Scenic Route to the Space Needle and then get an incredible view from way up high! Cool!👏🏻😎

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

Here's hoping you can/want to afford the $35 per person adult fee to get to the top of the Needle.

[@dynjarren8355]

@@marcsfamilyvideos Sure, I can handle it. Thanks for telling me the Fee. I bet it used to be $10 or so but prices always rise over the years. A Coke was initially a Nickel then 50 Cents and now it’s a Dollar. A Car used to cost $3 Grand in 1970 now it’s $30 Grand! Good Luck! 🍀

Beautiful ! Why it didn't works in springfield?

Shoot, do you really want Homer Simpson running that too?

@Leonard Keanu I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@dustinronin3262]

@Leonard Keanu It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out!

@Dustin Ronin you are welcome :D

[@richardgadberry8398]

Is there a chance the track could bend?

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

It's concrete. In worst case scenario (earthquake, something hitting it), it would crack/snap, but not bend.

[@richardgadberry8398]

@@marcsfamilyvideos It was a Simpsons reference.

@@richardgadberry8398 Sorry, Richard. Although I'm an average Simpsons fan, and old enough to be one, I missed that one. Kindest Regards.

Any idea of why they leave one in the middle of the track?

[@augustuscurnow]

Usually someone changing directions while doing a maintenance test or driver training on the beam.

[@laurenwieland9309]

Isn't the Space Needle Tower in Downtown Seattle?

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

Yes, it's a block away. Unfortunately, ticket prices just to get to the top are $35 for adults. We balked and walked away. The Museum of Pop Culture, (formally known as the Experience Music Project"), where the monorail goes through right before the end in the video is a much better deal and more interesting.thing to do.

[@laurenwieland9309]

@@marcsfamilyvideos $35 plus tax? How much is it for senior;? and how much is it for kids?

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

Google it. It's there.

[@laurenwieland9309]

@@marcsfamilyvideos It's $30 for seniors 65 and older, and it's $26 for children 5-12, and it's free for children 0-4; and it's $27 for adults that are residents of Washington and it's $22 for children that are residents of Washington. It doesn't say if those amounts include tax. Is there tax?

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

@@laurenwieland9309 All the pricing info is here on their website. As I mentioned, we left after seeing the prices, which are, as I said $35 for EACH adult. You'll have to ask them about taxes. sn.web.ticketing.siaticketing.com/?

[@captainharris8980]

Wow, that thing makes a lot of noise.

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

Have you ever ridden BART in the S.F. bay area? The metal wheels scrape so loudly against the metal rails, you literally need earplugs. It's horrible. This monorail is silent in comparison.

[@captainharris8980]

@@marcsfamilyvideos I've only ever ridden BART ... twice I think. One time to an A's game, I can't remember the other time. I don't recall it making a whole lot of noise.

[@GalenlevyPhoto]

Yes I remember how loud bart was even I’m deaf. It’s very cringeworthy!

[@thomasmendes2700]

Omg I was on the train with u tee gee

[@XOXO-mb2vh]

I'm surprised there's not a closed gate around the loading platform. I suppose idiots and kids aren't allowed.

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

Fortunately, it's not electrified, the monorail approaches very slowly and the driver is right up front. I assume it can stop on a dime if needed.

[@North_Cascade_Railfan]

Kids need parents to be with them so that’s fine, but idiots, “ oh look at me, ima jump into the repair bay! I’m so smart! “

[@GroovyVideo2]

wow its very quiet

[@nicksmith9]

Only two stations? Cool but what a waste. Could of been great.

[@marcsfamilyvideos]

It was only meant to take visitors from a downtown mall to the 1964 Seattle World's Fair.

[@nicksmith9]

@@marcsfamilyvideos oh understandable. Still wish they had more

Does not look very attractive 🙂

[@machupikachu1085]

It's been around since 1964. If we'd been around that long, we might look as good either.... 😉

[@jefferypardue7509]

The monorail isn't really that useful on a daily use for residents like myself as King County Metro buses go through Queen Anne and the uptown neighborhoods to downtown to the east passing through the area where the monorails serve I especially if you're looking at routes 1, 2, 3, 4, 8,13 route e which goes up to shoreline and the county border at Aurora Transit and the D.

[@Jethz]

It's public transport, not a relationship partner.

[@SanjeevDD]

@@Jethz Granted, but there are many monorails rides that are way more attractive.
