i said that it probably had no connection, but the announcement on the same day has tied them together in the public mind (here in lake nona at least) i just watched the local news. i feel this was intentional you of course are entitled to think not, since i have no evidence. but it was...

i realize it probably has not a direct connection to this site, but Disney also is completely shutting down the starwars hotel in september. It has only been open a year. (And yess, i know it underperformed) but announcing them both on the same day sends a pretty strong message about...

Exactly this if the court decides that it is a first amendment issue and florida ignores it it is a constitutional crisis

This case is a test of our system of government. I don't believe that if The state loses this, they can come back and pass a law in a direct violation of the first amendment. And if Disney wins, that is what it would be. Now if a court decides that this is not a constitutional issue, that is...

thats great! there are 2 laser cuttings... one in the cell and one in the elevator they both worked? and as to Beck He is obviously on the transport, but he is also in a booth at the very end. It is the one at the end that did not work

agree

I've ridden rise 4 times, the first time just before the covid lock down. That was the ONLY time that the Kylo animatronic worked. The most recent time was 2 weeks ago... beside kylo not working, the laser cutting into the elevator did not work, the final appearance of Beck did not work. So...

I work events occasionally and we are often parked in the STOLPort lot, which yes is basically under the EPCOT beam

I agree, but I think this needs to be adjudicated first. The state should not be able to be running like this, with punishment as a goal. After it was adjudicated, if I were Disney, I would offer to form a board to create that "modern refresh". Just not at the point of a punishment from the Gov.

hi yes you took that in a different direction than I intended. Yes this absolutely has tremendous repercussion nationally on a legislative level.

Thats what I thought. My reason for posting this is ... outside of these boards, (and to a lesser extent the Orlando area), this entire thing is under reported and completely misunderstood. WYou hat does that mean to the bigger picture? Is it really going to matter on a national scale?

Just had CNN on in the background. This new bill and the ability to void contracts made it to their headlines. They claim that the legislature could go all the way back and void the original RCID bill. Is this true?

yeah, i heard about the FOIA one. And agree that the Tyree one is good. Just did not know if there was a third one to do with Disney, or that was rolled into the first one. Thanks for the information.

Yeah, I just didn't know if they used this bill and rolled Disney into it. Or if there is a separate ride inspection bill aimed only at Disney.

I have a question for those here in Orlando. Was just watching the news and heard about the passage of the ride safety bill. It is called the Tyre Sampson Bill, named for a teen who was killed on the drop tower at Icon Park. Is this the same bill that is requiring greater inspections at...

I live in Lake Nona. Curious as to why you call the area a poster child for avoiding wages and taxes. Just to be clear, I dont believe imagineering should be relocated, even though it would probably help my property values. Just wonder about your statements.

Just read a really odd update on this in the Orlando Sentinel Article states "NONE" of what is in Disney's complaint, and goes to extremes quoting all of the problems that the new board has with Disney. While they dont overtly support those claims, is odd that none of Disney's complaint is...

slowly reading this full filing to me most damning statements are on page 50 statements about not controlling the RCID but influencing Disney content. way out of line

i have not been watching the meeting. Is it over? Seems odd that few are talking about it and as many are talking about the skyline. If it is over, what did it accomplish, if anything?

I agree that this arrangement with RCID should be examined, see if it is still appropriate, and modified or ended as necessary. BUT Unfortunately the governor has made this not about RCID but about the question of whether the government has the right to punish a corporation for free speech...
