MONORAIL WHAT'S A FAIR without rides? Pretty bad, you say, especially if you're a kid or a kid at heart. But this Fair is okay; there are plenty and one of the best is the Monorail. It affords riders a panoramic view of the Lake Amusement Area around which it loops. Built by American Machine & Foundry (AMF) Monorail has seven two-car trains operating on parallel loops slung 40-feet above the ground from single rails. Three trains travel in one direction and four in the other.

Two of the underslung trains zip along their single rails hung from giant pylons. At left are dark panel on General Foods Arch displaying news and photos of the Fair and tail end of a down-to-earth Greyhound Glide-a-ride tractor train.
