Here is an article from the Akron Beacon Journal a friend shared with me. It talks about Cedar Point's monorail. It began as a monorail at Summit Beach Park in Akron and was then moved to Cedar Point when SBP closed. Cedar Point wanted the company to fund the expansion, but wouldn't do it so they ended up scrapping it a few years later.

That's a great story and I remember riding the monorail at CP. It would be cool it they would have expanded it through the entire park.
The story about the operator not wanting to give a discount and stranding the riders to have a beer is priceless. I would have loved to see the reaction of the people on the train.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
