The Stations should be revamped into a wacky bubbleworks esque lab where a mad proffessor ( Not Duel's Nicolas Roodyn and get rid of those birds, yikes) tells you your going to enter a different dimension called Alton towers.

You queue past some electronic equipment and parts of Theming from all over the park. Once in the station signs say "A world of frights and laughs await".

The cars have the same guest capacity but are themed like purple rocket ships
(I liked lilg2004's idea to keep the colour scheme). Their are small screens that show you the places to go and other information. A new soundtrack for the monorail cars should be made to create a really good atmosphere.

To be honest,i think the monerail doesnt need theming.Its a transport system that is in place to get you from one place to another.Nothing more.

As someone who regularly gets a lift up to the hotel and back in the cab, i have to say some of the trains are bloody bumpy, the only half decent one seems to be train 2.

I think all it needs is a good wash and some Alton Towers logos put on to the nice silver and some new seats. I like the theme music played in there now. I dont no what to think of the cadbury pait job that it might be getting because i like the colour that it is now but im shure when i see the new look ill like it. :D :D :D

God I absolutely hate it how AT has hopped on the corporate bandwagon. First there was Air with Cadbury's Heroes, then The Flume Unplugged probabally the worst as the whole ride doesn't fit in with Merrie England, and it's tbh a corny idea, being sponsered by Imperial Leather, Now this! :x

I dont mind I think cadburys will make a good job of it. The monorail looks very dated now Eighties lookin.

Alton towers is a company. It makes money, simple as that. If they need help financial wise they bring in sponsorship. I don't see why having cadbury (one of the worlds most succesful business companies) sponsor the monrail is such a bad idea. I really don't see what the issue is...

It dont bother me either it will bring it up to date. But mite the monorail stations get a Cabury retheame I wonder.

I'm not sure how much themeing the trains/stations are getting. As far as i was told by our controllers, the trains are being turned into cadburys flakes. As for the stations - I personally think that they need a lick of paint and updating. they get very boring when youre inside them all day! if i find out anything else about the themeing, i shall let you all know, as people i know are full timers, and are at worj there all week!

Location: On a seat........ 207 miles from alton towers

if i could revamp it i would make the seats more cushion i think one to many fat arses have flattened the seats and there hard. i would also make the windows bigger when i went the sun glaring in and they had mini windows we were boilin :firebounce: i give it like total new trains not silver but awhite colour with a blue or red line going across the entire train aobut hal way up the trains. i would put lil music speakers in there to so you can listen to music or have one of them annyoing voices saying 'we are now passing air look ot your right and now look left and your see nemesis and if you look there you see the haunted house and there.........' id have when the doors open they say ott you welcome tot the monrail i hope you enyjoy your trip to the park and they say good bye when you leave it and i morelikly give it aircon and i would make the cars a bit wider so you aint all cramped up itwould look fantastic and i would call the it the monrail 0.2 the station id give a repaint and spice it up al lil

:uk: next trip to alton towers is the 29th july
then stay at amazing splash landings hotel and go on master blaster
come on rita bring it i got a need for speed :uk:

:england: only a british theme park could be so gd :england:

I think the current theme of the monorail is fine. If it had cadbury all over it and stuff then it would start to look like a ride more than a transport system. I tink the monorail needs completely re-tracking and new trains. The path it takes is ok though. And something should be sorted to increase its throughput. On busy days, you can queue up to half aan hour just to get on it!!
