Monorail Barn? Can you ride in the cockpit?
Hi everyone, I am probably one of the BIGGEST Monorail fans ever, can anyone give me info on the monorail barn? i.e. where is it? is it open to the public? tours? Also, I would LOVE to ride in the cockpit, last time we went to WDW I was told, rather rudely, that they don't do that anymore. Has that been everyone's experience or did I just get a grump? Thanks!

 to the DIS!Actually since there was an accident many years ago where someone was killed, they no longer allow people to ride in the cockpit.

 That is super sad! I do remember reading something about that... I guess my thought was since it was so long ago they may let people up there again...

Any info on the monorail barn? Is it possible to find every color without going to the barn?

During my first ever trip to WDW in mid 2001 my family were able to ride in the cockpit. On my next visit, my first 'post 9/11' trip, we were politely informed that tightened security no longer allowed public access to the cockpits.

His name was Austin. He was only 21. This only happened in the summer of 2009, not long ago.
REST IN PEACE, AUSTIN! Can you believe after his death, someone had this amazing video of Austin and their son, being Austin's Co-pilot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBKr...e_gdata_player |
