No Gomer, this is new.So what fell under RCID now falls under the State of Florida, and we are surprised FDOT now has jurisdiction?

But, is that the reason he's doing this? Genuine safety concern or political stunt that ends with no action taken once he has grabbed his headlines.
I dont think it'll get to that, but if it does it's not that big of a deal, the resorts operated fine when it's gone down for extended periods. Throw in a few more busses plus the boats and its workable.I think it's the latter. Any action that would throw a wrench in the day to day operations of the parks would serve his goal. Imagine shutting down the transportation system that conveys guests from 4 resorts to 2 parks for weeks? Then throw in non-resort guests that use the monorail.

Wishful-but-totally-unrealistic-thinking: Maybe we'll finally get a skyliner extension.
Isn't MOC's train a monorail?where are they going to find "inspectors" that are qualified on a monorail system?
Not really new.No Gomer, this is new.
Disney's got a high attrition rate and plenty of former CM's with an ax to grind.How knowledgeable will those inspecting rides like Tron or Rise or FoP be?
A HORRIBLE POST FROM A NOW BANNED MEMBER
There is plenty of knowledge on monorail systems. There are several monorail systems in place currently running that are subjected to regular state inspections. One of the largest is in Jacksonville. It is run by the Jacksonville transit authority. The monorail at wdw has been due for a track replacement since 2008. Instead of replacing the track they chose to put it off and run it at reduced speeds. The track replacement at Disneyland was forced to be done by the state because it was in such disrepair and that track was newer than the one at wdwAnother example where there is just no institutional knowledge to glean at the state level to have specialists inspect entertainment flamethrowers on mechanical dragons.
It’s on an elevated guideway but there are two rails which can be clearly seen on an aerial image.Isn't MOC's train a monorail?
You claimed this is the result of changes to the district. That is not true.Not really new.
Just an additional load for state inspectors.
I'm sure FDOT will go beyond standard inspection practices to extract retribution.
Cast back in the day when WDW had the Mark IV monorails, monorail cast had to individually open and close each door for guests to enter and exit. Later monorail models had automatic doors combined that with the intense FL heat of the summertime.The monorails opened when Magic Kingdom opened on October 1, 1971. Reagan wasn't president, Richard Nixon was. And they were cutting edge in 1971.
Are you of the assumption that the monorails are currently NOT inspected?Everyone: “the monorails are falling apart. Tracks are cracked and they break down often. Do something!”
Also everyone: “I can’t believe the new reedy creek replacement wants to inspect the monorails now!”
lol

This isn’t the District. This isn’t about genuine concerns. So yeah, hahaha. So funny that people aren’t just lapping up bull.Everyone: “the monorails are falling apart. Tracks are cracked and they break down often. Do something!”

Got to think its going to get to that point but do you think Iger’s own political aspirations hinder that?I’m actually surprised Iger didn’t talk to Desantis personally and throw chapek under the bus like he has for other things and just apologize for how it was handled and that it wouldn’t happen like that if he were still in charge. Then offer DeSantis a churro and dole whip as a peace offering and shake and be done with this garbage
The monorails are inspected dailyIn it's present configuration the monorail is a mass transit system that is long overdue for upgrades. Like wdw's fire department, expansion and improvements to the monorail system were set aside on the back burner for the sake of profitability to share holders. They were allowed to run without these improvements or inspection largely because advantages reaped from the reedy creek special district. The trains, made in 1989, currently running were due for replacement years ago. The public will only benefit from the fact that these trains will finally be inspected by someone that is not directly answering to a Disney board of shareholders.
