I hope this is not old repetitious news, but.....
During my trip last week(11/15) I was able to ride up front(with only the pilot) on the EPCOT monorail. I asked about some of the crazy rumors and he said that there is only one monorail update/upgrade currently planned. Starting in January they will be installing automatic gates at the monorail stops, except for maybe the resort stops. So instead of CMs having to walk up and down sliding the gates they will soon be fully automatic.
