How do get to go up to the front? Do you ask one of the loading cast members?

Thanks,

Well I guess us cast members will not be able to pick our nose and drive anymore. :crying:

Yeah, just ask. You'll probably have to wait one or two because other people are ahead of you, and only 5 people fit. But the CMs are usually more than happy to let you wait.

Only up to 5. But, they will not let you be up there alone. I had to ask a mother and her daughter to join me. So...2-5 people.

Well, that was my origional plan. But, after hours of planning, I remembered that they were on a rail and thus I would not be able to take it home like I wanted. :rolleyes:

Good to hear -- maybe the tailcone will be next to take passengers again. Always loved riding back there.

You can still ride in the tail cone. The only time it is not available is when there is some strange heating/cooling malfunction and you'd either come out with icecicles hanging from your nose, or passed out from heat exhaustion.:(

Just ask next time you're there. We ride in the tail all the time.

Glad to hear the tailcone is open for Tomorrowland passengers. How about the round-trip special from the Disneyland Hotel? Years ago they used to let you make the trip for a couple bucks. Fun for a quick ride -- especially during the fireworks! ;)

Sadly, no RTs from the DTD gate. You can only do that from the TL station.

Catching the FWs at just the right time is very cool. I hope to do that soon again, but from the front.

That's SOOOOCool! I can't wait! I'm glad they opened it again. They probably did it to

1) Help bring things back to normalcy after 9/11 (now if they will just open the Castle walk-through)

2) To increase ride capacity due to only one or two monorails running at a time.

3) They finally figured out that you can't hijack a monorail

:rolleyes:
