I just saw this posted on another board and someone who is there now reported it is not being allowed.
Probably gone for good or until the monorails can be upgraded. The front really crunched in that accident. They have new monorails out in Disneyland and it is allowed.
When I was at WDW last month and would get on the Monorail at the Contemporary, no guests were allowed to sit up front and I assume it will be like that for good.
Ok - that's kinda what I figured. We were down last year after the "incident" and didn't know if anything had changed since then (other then some manual checking/long delay if a train needs to backup).
