 Monorail
Does anyone know if you can still ride in the front of the monorails? I've heard that passengers can no longer ride in the front. I'm really hoping this is not true. Has someone been there recently to know?

Unfortunately, this is indeed true. There have been no guests allowed up front since the fatal accident in July of '09.

Probably not going to happen again because of liability

Maybe in the first coach behind the "engine", but NOT in the front with the pilot.

We have been to WDW 4 times since the accident, most recently this past March, and no one is allowed to ride up front with the pilot.

If I recall correctly, riding shotgun is still allowed in Disneyland (or was for a while at least after the accident). Florida is under a different ruleset.

We rode with the pilot at DLR last April. Hopefully Disneyland doesn't change that policy.

Thank you all. I'm glad that I at least won't be entirely disappointing the kids. I just won't tell them. I think I'll still ask when we get there, but I at least won't say anything to the kids before I do.

It is dissappointing since the electronics (MAPO) will not allow an accident to happen. The accident happened due to monorails being in overide mode and full out human error.
First trip August 1975
Honeymoon trip Sept-Oct 2010

Your trip is what you want it to be and it will turn out just how you want it.

Out of respect for the cast on the monorail, I wouldnt. Maybe that's just me...

I have to second that. It's not allowed at WDW and just leave it at that. No amount of asking will change it.

I wouldn't ask either. Knowing about the accident, and understanding how much I'm sure it affected all those who work the monorail would prevent me from ever asking to ride up front. Like others have already stated, it is not allowed and asking will not change the fact that you can not ride up front. No use in potentially ruining a CMs day by asking for something you know isn't possible.

When we were there last month they said no riders in the front

I can almost guarantee that they get asked at least once a day. If it was so sensitive, they would put a sign or something.
Ask if you feel more comfortable doing so! I asked last trip, they just politely said they don't allow it. No biggie.

We were just there over Thanksgiving and were told my a monorail attendant that guests were no longer allowed to ride with the driver.
