My family & I sat in the cockpit 4 times qwhen we there over Easter this past year. 2 of the times the driver was really nice & would answer our questions, the other 2 times, the driver didn't say a word. We only got co-pilot licences thefirst time though which made my 13-year-old brother mad because he wanted to collect them.

we stayed at the gf and on our last visit we did this several times, and coincidentaly we got the same "pilot" all of the times, so by the end of the trip he was getting to know us, and every time you get a monorail pilot tickets, its real cool

I'll have to remember to catch the "Please stand clear of the doors. Por favor mantenganse alejado de las puertas." line the next time I'm on.
Here are some recent pictures I took in the front of one of the monorails:

here is a cool website about monorails. http://monorails.org
Maybe when I retire from the military in twenty years, I will be a monorail pilot. Always wanted to be an Air Force Pilot, but I cant, so I will do the second best thing, Monorail Pilot.

Three of my favorite things to do on a monorail.....
1) Ask every CM you can when they will build more monorails and listen to their theories. Some will give very lengthy responses. Some are total baloney, too!
2) Ride up front on the Epcot loop. Nice long run with no stops. Always love that ride, especially making the turn thru the park itself.
3) Catch one of the trains going thru its afternoon safety stop. They basically deliberately ignore a speed warning to engage the brakes automatically. Cool to be on the train when they do it!
Man it's fun to be a monorail geek!

HeHe...sometimes you get a real grump but they are usualy really nice and talkative. About 3 years ago my then boyfriend was talking to the monorail driver about hitting birds. He said they've hit a few...it's bound to happen.

Yes I have did this serveral times...it is cool but some of the "pilots" can be a little strange...but still a good Disney secret.

We did it on our last trip and to tell you the truth, it was quite lackluster. Our pilot didn't say a single word to us.

So, how come every time ive been able to ride in the front, Im aleways told very sternly that "we are not pilots, we are monorail drivers".??? And its always been kind of confusing, since they do wear pilots wings!!! So which is it?
