Step into the retro-futuristic cabin of a Pacific Northwest icon and journey back over a decade to ride the rails of mid-century history! This is a full, uncut front-seat ride-through of the legendary "Seattle Center Monorail" in Seattle, Washington, beautifully preserved from February 20, 2015.
Originally built in just 10 months by Alweg for the 1962 Century 21 Exposition (The Seattle World's Fair), this designated historic landmark has carried hundreds of millions of passengers. This vintage 2015 archive captures the elevated ride in peak condition, sending you gliding smoothly above the bustling traffic of 5th Avenue, cutting past historic downtown skyscrapers, and delivering a spectacular front-row approach toward the iconic Space Needle and the base of the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP).
