As I have said, I am not comfortable with the gov's actions...and this isn't the time or place to review the records on executive overreach of other gov's or presidents.

News DeSantis moves to bring state safety oversight of the Walt Disney World Monorail including suspending the service for inspections
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
After over 50 years of relative quiet on the part of the state, this IS the time to review executive overreach, including the past. If the state had decided 10 years ago that there were concerns about the existence and operation of RCID, inspections of rides and transportation, presented easily verifiable reasons fur said concerns, attempted to work with the corporation to address and resolve them, I might agree with your position. But that's not the situation. So one HAS to ask WHY? Why NOW?
I don't know individual bridges. But if the standards are so low, than Disney has nothing to hide.

As mentioned before not every inspector is devoid of ethics, but some are and even when that isn't the case, sometimes it doesn't matter. Let's be honest, there is no area of work that doesn't have its fair share of questionable people.
As an example, I dated a woman who was a state health inspector many years back and she failed multiple places only to have the higher ups come behind her and alter her reports so that the establishments would pass. They basically told her that those owners were connected to state and local officials as either family or donors. She did her job honestly and forces completely out of her control manipulated things to the result they wanted.
Also, as you mentioned the board appointees, I think looking at who the Governor appointed should really be all anyone needs to do to see exactly what is going on here.

3% of all bridges in FL are considered structurally deficient.
Which is actually a low number, nationwide.

But...not in this thread...that is what I am saying. It would take us off topic.
My position? My position is I don't like the actions of the gov or legislature. I feel they went too far...
Culture wars and an election.
Whatever war DeSantis is in is certainly turning away members of his own party.

"A Senate committee advanced a plan Tuesday that would allow for state inspections of the attraction’s 14.7-mile monorail, which averages an estimated 150,000 passengers a day."
----
"FDOT inspects other tram systems in Florida, including the one at Orlando International Airport, said state Sen. Nick DiCeglie, R-Indian Rocks Beach, sponsor of the monorail plan.
Inspections will be scheduled at a time agreeable to both the state and Disney, he said. The measure gives the state the power to suspend service to ensure the safety and welfare of inspectors and passengers.
“If there are any safety issues, having a complete suspension is really going to be an action of last resort,” DiCeglie said."

No.
The sentence before what you bolded and the sentence after what you bolded means there's no issue here whatsoever.

The Hogwarts Express is a ride, not transportation. Like the PeopleMover or Walt Disney World Railroad.

Kinda, it doesn’t solve the problem though of the inspector being told by DeSantis to make things difficult for them and leaving it closed.

No, it’s transportation that takes you to a completely different park.

I'm not the least bit naive. LOL I know neither of those things will happen.

It's another looming threat designed to chill Disney's right to free speech.
They may say it won't be done in a punitive/inconvenient way but the underlying threat will always be there.

But I've been reliably informed that this will lead to a complete shutdown of the monorail for weeks at a time with ex-mafia members performing the inspections and shaking down poor Mickey for political concessions.

It doesn’t even need to get to that level. You write the processes and criteria to make things difficult. If a drive tire’s pressure being off by a minuscule mint require the system to be shut down and all drive tires checked then that’s what will happen. Who doesn’t really matter, an honest inspector has to follow the rules.

It runs on a cable.
If you don't like my previous analogies because you get off at the same place you got on, then the Harambe train to Rafiki's Planet Watch.
