Monorail
The Mk II and Mk III monorail automated people mover (APM) systems were installed in a variety of locations before the technology was sold on to Adtranz (later Bombardier), which continues to supply the parts for the monorail systems.
The monorail cars at Alton Towers theme park in England were built for Expo 86 in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Von Roll also manufactured the old Sentosa Monorail in Sentosa Island, Singapore in 1982, which closed down in March 2005.
The Jurong Bird Park Panorail in Jurong Bird Park, Singapore is a four-car straddle-beam monorail that began operation in 1991 and ceased operations in 2012.
Australia has had a total of four Von Roll Monorail systems, currently three are still in operation. A Von Roll MkII system is in operation at Sea World theme park on the Gold Coast (first monorail in Australia which opened in 1986), whilst a MkIII Monorail system operates in nearby Broadbeach linking a shopping centre to a casino (opened 1989). Another MkIII Monorail system is in operation in Sydney, Australia linking the City Centre to Darling Harbour, however monorail services will cease on the 30th June 2013 (it has been in operation since the 21st July 1988). A MkII Monorail system was also in operation during World Expo 88 held in Brisbane, Australia, with a loop around the expo site at Southbank. There is no trace of the monorail system at the site.
