Italian manufacturer Zamperla has created a new monorail ride for Drayton Manor Theme Park in Staffordshire, UK, for its Thomas Land attraction.

The new £750,000 Winston’s Whistle Stop Tour rail ride marks Thomas Land's fifth anniversary at the park.

Zamperla based Winston’s Whistle Stop Tour on Thomas and Friends character, Winston, who is the Fat Controller’s inspection vehicle.

The monorail ride gives riders a bird's-eye view of Thomas Land along a 195m track, between 3.5 and 4m above the ground with maximum speeds of 2m per second. The seven carriages that are based on a Wickham 4B Trolley Car seat four people per vehicle.

The new attraction also features an audio system in each carriage giving riders a guided tour around Sodor.
