News DeSantis moves to bring state safety oversight of the Walt Disney World Monorail including suspending the service for inspections

It's clearly politically motivated. I'm surprised he doesn't pick on Universal though, since MSNBC is way more openly political than ABC ever has been.

It wasn’t about hurting Disney as much as furthering a failed personal political objective. Disney has a higher profile.

They are not getting rid of the monorail. It would put so much stress on the transportation systems that already face tons of t stress each day. And it also is a selling point for magic kingdom area hotels.

Yes, this is uncharted territory for WDW. I personally feel that with some exceptions, the “everything stays the same forever” era at Walt Disney World Is over. We will
lose some of our favorite attractions, and in addition, I predict that some more fan favorite attractions will get updated versions to stick around. But the monorail is not a normal theme park ride. It’s a mode of transportation. Calm down.

I am not trying to get in the middle of this debate, but factually speaking, the monorail has gone down many times. When it does, WDW is able to swap to buses. I have experienced this a number of times, though most often it is only one monorail line down at a time.

It’s rarely the entire monorail system and even when its just partial, it puts tremendous strain on the rest of the transportation system.

DeSantis will be old news if he is going be Sec of Defense as some reports may be speculating.

Suggesting that this topic can be discussed without reference to the origins of the inspections is, in fact, taking a political position.

I’d suggest the thread needs to either be locked or allowed to discuss the matter fully.
