Chester Zoo fans say monorail axe is a "huge loss"

Chester Zoo announced this week that it would scrap its popular monorail after almost 30 years .

The Zoofari monorail opened in 1991 and has been a staple in family trips to the zoo ever since.

Zoo bosses say that the system ‘doesn’t even cover half’ of the 125 acres at the huge tourist attraction and have therefore decided to close it.

Fans of Chester Zoo have taken to Facebook to express how upset they are with the news.

Clare Ball said: “My little one loves this” and Jean Madge added: “So sad to hear this my family and I always go on it”.

Lottie Jose said: “It’s the only reason I wanted to go to the zoo tbh”.

The monorail at Chester Zoo will be scrapped later this summer. (chester chronicle)

Lewis John Smith said: "It's what makes Chester Zoo... such a huge loss!".

Jenny Bennett added: “Awww nooo! I loved going on it when I was a kid and my kids have loved going on it too.

Many customers have announced that they’ll be heading back to have one last ride on the famous monorail.

Adele Lousie said: “Aww we will have to take the kids on it one last time!”

Ella Ison said: “WE NEED TO GO SO I CAN GO ON THE MONORAIL ONE LAST TIME!!!”
