Yes, guests can once again ride in the front seats of the Disneyland Monorail, offering a unique and memorable experience.
The Return of the "Nose Cone" Experience
After a hiatus that began before the COVID-19 pandemic, the popular "nose cone" experience on the Disneyland Monorail was reinstated. This special opportunity allows visitors to sit in the very front of the monorail train, providing an unparalleled perspective of the Disneyland Resort. The return of this beloved feature officially occurred on September 14, 2024.
What to Expect When Riding in the Front
Riding in the front of the monorail, often referred to as the "nose cone," is more than just a seat; it's an immersive adventure. Here's what makes this experience so special:
- Ride with a Pilot: You have the unique chance to share the cabin with a Disneyland Monorail pilot as they skillfully operate the vehicle. This offers a rare glimpse into the operational side of one of Disney's iconic transportation systems.
- Unrivaled Views: The panoramic windows of the front cabin provide breathtaking and unique views of the Disneyland Resort. From the sprawling landscapes of Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure to the architecture of the Downtown Disney District and the Disneyland Hotel, the vistas are truly distinctive.
This exclusive vantage point makes for fantastic photo opportunities and creates lasting memories, distinguishing it from riding in the main passenger compartments. It's a highly sought-after experience for many park visitors.
