The Miami Seaquarium Spacerail was a monorail at Miami Seaquarium. It was the first hanging monorail in North America. It existed solely for entertainment, not transportation, as it had only one station. It offered views not only of the Seaquarium exhibits and buildings, but also of the Miami skyline. There were six cars, though only five were run at a time, and the cars had names after fish. The cars had unique styling until they were redesigned in 1978 to be rectangular and their names were removed. The cars operated around the loop counterclockwise, and had an Automatic Block Signal system.

  • マイアミ・シークアリウム・スペースレール（英: Miami Seaquarium Spacerail）は、アメリカ合衆国フロリダ州マイアミのにある、島の南西に位置するマイアミ海洋水族館にかつてあった懸垂式モノレールである。北アメリカにおける初の懸垂式モノレールであった。 駅が1つしかなかったため、交通機関向けでなく遊戯施設としての扱いであった。車窓からは水族館の展示物および建物だけでなく、マイアミのスカイラインをも眺めることができた。路線形状は単線一方通行の環状線で、反時計回りに平均速度9.7 km/h (6 マイル毎時) で運行しており、自動閉塞を用いた信号システムを使用していた。 車両は計6両を保有し、通常時は5両が運用された。登場時の車両には魚にちなんだ愛称が付けられ、車体形状も独特なものであったが、1978年に長方形車体の車両に更新され、車両の愛称もなくなった。 (ja)

  • The Miami Seaquarium Spacerail was a monorail at Miami Seaquarium. It was the first hanging monorail in North America. It existed solely for entertainment, not transportation, as it had only one station. It offered views not only of the Seaquarium exhibits and buildings, but also of the Miami skyline. There were six cars, though only five were run at a time, and the cars had names after fish. The cars had unique styling until they were redesigned in 1978 to be rectangular and their names were removed. The cars operated around the loop counterclockwise, and had an Automatic Block Signal system. In 1991, the Seaquarium was to be expanded. By that time, the monorail ridership was low, due to a loss of novelty. Furthermore, it was obsolete and labor-intensive. There was some consideration to turn the monorail into a parking lot, but in the end, the monorail was demolished, because the expanded park crowded out the views from the ride, although this may not have been an issue if the monorail had been built to operate in the opposite direction. The cars are now used as storage sheds, although there are some calls to preserve them. * v * t * e (en)
  • マイアミ・シークアリウム・スペースレール（英: Miami Seaquarium Spacerail）は、アメリカ合衆国フロリダ州マイアミのにある、島の南西に位置するマイアミ海洋水族館にかつてあった懸垂式モノレールである。北アメリカにおける初の懸垂式モノレールであった。 駅が1つしかなかったため、交通機関向けでなく遊戯施設としての扱いであった。車窓からは水族館の展示物および建物だけでなく、マイアミのスカイラインをも眺めることができた。路線形状は単線一方通行の環状線で、反時計回りに平均速度9.7 km/h (6 マイル毎時) で運行しており、自動閉塞を用いた信号システムを使用していた。 車両は計6両を保有し、通常時は5両が運用された。登場時の車両には魚にちなんだ愛称が付けられ、車体形状も独特なものであったが、1978年に長方形車体の車両に更新され、車両の愛称もなくなった。 1991年に水族館が拡張されることになっていたが、この時期にはモノレールの目新しさは失われており、利用者数も減少していた上に運営体制も労働集約的で時代遅れなものでもあった。駐車場と水族館の間をアクセスする路線として活用する案も出されたが、拡張された施設が車窓風景を遮ること、双方向に運行できない一方通行の路線設計も相まって、最終的にモノレールは廃止され撤去された。車両は保管され倉庫として使用されているが、保存を求める複数の要望が上がっている。 (ja)
