Can you ride in the front with the monorail drivers anymore?

[Tink78]

I remember doing this when I was 18 with my little neice, but after trying to find out if this is still possible, I'm reading about a poor 21 year old monorail driver who lost his life after 2 monorails collided back in July 2009.
So I'm guessing this is no longer an option or have they made them safer since then and are now allowing guests to ride with the driver once more?

Pretty sure you still can't sorry

No. Not allowed ever since the noted accident.

Nope and I have noticed they have taken away the waiting areas they used to have for the front cars.

When we were waiting to board at the Contemporary Resort in April a couple in front of us asked a castmember and was told it was not allowed anymore, such a shame and I believe they use to give to the children who rode up front a monorail pilot's license.

That's a shame. I guess I'm just lucky I got chance to do it when I was 18 then. x

Next time you go you should take your DH's monorail pilot's license and show the platform castmember that you have a license to ride and drive in the cockpit, how can they refuse an official monorail pilot's license issued by Disney, might prove to be a bit of a laugh.

It is such a shame. We were lucky enough to do this several times, would have loved my kids to do it.

We were so lucky to ride up front of a monorail on a New Year's Eve after dining at Narcoossees restaurant. It was incredible to see the crowds waiting to leave MK and we had the cool space of the cockpit!
