had provided monorails in nine locations in the USA before Bombardier's
TGI Division purchased them: HersheyPark (1969), Cal Expo (1969),
Magic Mountain (1971), Carowinds (1973), King's Island (1974),
King's Dominion (1975), Minnesota Zoo (1979), Miami MetroZoo
(1982), and the Louisiana World's Fair (1984). TGI won a bid
to provide the people-mover system at the Tampa International
Airport in 1991. In 1994, Bombardier was selected by the Jacksonville
Transportation Authority to replace its existing Matra-built
people-mover with a totally automated monorail. Unlike the Tampa
airport, the beamway in Jacksonville is made of concrete. The
system opened in 1997. |
