Originally known as the Gol'Coasta, the monorail opened to passengers in 1989 along with the shopping centre. In 2001, the operator acquired the majority of the track and the trains originally used at the Merry Hill Shopping Centre in England. In late 2013, the monorail closed for maintenance reopening to passengers on 18 December 2014. It closed on 29 January 2017.
