I just love it how any accident at a Disney park will make international news but if it happened anywhere else no one cares
No other company in the world has a squeaky clean image like Disney's.
That's why.

Might be an insurance liability issue more than anything. I'd think that it wouldn't be a problem, but the lawyers will have the final say.
I'd feel much safer riding in the front of the monorail than I do standing up on a bus going 50 mph. Not that I don't feel safe on the busses its all those other drivers on the road I worry about.
Right...Like the Mono Fire of 80.:shrug:37 Years, 9 Months and 3 Days is one heck of a safety record!
That said, it will re-open, and this nightmare will fade into the past...
I tend to agree but I see this as a double edge sword. If Disney does not allow guests to ride in the from it implies that they are unsafe. If they continue to allow guests to arrive up front and something like this happens again with guests in the front then Disney will be facing as many as 4 8 digit lawsuits that they will have little defense against.Disney is quite reactionary when something bad happens on their property. They want to make the public feel comfortable, and shield themselves from any impending lawsuits.
Not only do I believe no guests will ever ride in the front again, I believe there will be upgrades and changes among the existing monorail fleet, and changes in pilot training and hiring standards.
What I do see is Disney modifying the front and rear cars with some impact protection. Right now is seems like the speed of this crash occurred at 15 mph or less and I think we all could agree that if that was the case far too much damage occurred for such a low speed.
