New Monorail Trains and tracks

In a lot of PC Parks the monorail makes no sense. It looks totally stupid in fairytale, wildwest, adventure-areas of the park.
Many tracked-rides have 2 or more different trains, but the mono have only 1.

A monorail ride over only one-themed area like a fair isn´t possible, when the area isn´t big. The curves are to long.
My wish is a smaller monorail track and small gondolas.

perfect for a carnival or funfair DLC.

Many people have build an old american amusementpark or an old Pier. But the monorail make no sense.
This Monorail is better.

I've been dreaming of the time when I have the Universal Mobility mini from early Magic Mountain, Hersheypark, etc.

And while we're at it, throw in the double-arm ferris wheel (The Galaxy) for good measure!

Poster knows their monorails! Speaking of monorails, have you seen the cool one in Gilroy Gardens? What it lacks in classic appeal it makes up for with a more modern aesthetic and still allowing for a smaller turning radius than the large monorails.

I don't know what it is, but I *like* it. It looks "kind of like" a modernised UMI or something with Habegger lineage(?), but given how various monorail manufacturers "borrowed" design ideas from each other, there's no telling. It would fit in in whimsical/kids as well as futuristic park segments (with a bit of update to the paint job and canopies), I think, and therefore would be a good investment if you plan to evolve your park over time and want a bit more flexibility. Also appears to be very small gauge. I can't believe I used to live an hour or two away from there by plane and never knew about it until I moved continents, so I haven't gotten to ride it yet.

Of course, my fave is the Von Roll Mk III (because I own a few of them and some beam), which fits somewhere between the Disney/Bombardier large carriage style on PC and the small UMI type carriages, but it is wide as monorails go and doesn't offer the ability to take tight curves that the smaller carriage sets do. If any Planet Coaster folks want to visit Australia and 3D scan end and middle carriages so that they can add them to their inventory of monorail carriages, let me know.
