Ueno Zoo used to have a suspended monorail that connects the two parts of the zoo that had to be closed in 2023 due to difficulty in obtaining replacement parts.

But just last month, the metropolitan government (who operated the monorails) announced a replacement system that is like a people-mover on roller-coaster tracks.

Yes, you heard that right: roller coaster tracks.
