Would this effect the WDW Railroad as well?

Skyliner?

Don’t they count as “fixed guideway transportation” system?

Maybe?????????????? Skyliner probably, railroad would probably be considered an amusement ride. If the railway was included so could the train in AK

It’s funny how they try to make it seem like they aren’t trying to target Disney but the wording is specifically tailored toward Disney only.

EDIT: Would this warrant action by Disney? Since it’s now filed as an Amendment.

No, because the amendment is to a bill. It’s still just a proposal.

…might be a different kinda scale/arena here?

It's really not. Not naming any names, but we represent/I've worked on cases for companies that are even larger than Disney. Those cases may not have had the same media attention (although a couple arguably did), though.

Anyways, it's kind of irrelevant. I don't actually think this (potential, I suppose, since nothing has been filed yet) case is going to be over in a few months.

At its most basic, the SOF has breached a contract, a promise made 56 years ago...
akin to the US govt breaking a treaty with the native Americans. The word of the government of the SOF is now worthless

It's a filed amendment to CS/CS/SB 1250 due to be heard in the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee tomorrow between 10am - 6pm EDT.

Forgot about Rafiki’s. That’s a good point.

Any that almost single-handedly created modern tourism in the second biggest tourism revenue generating state in the country?

As currently written, it wouldn’t apply to anything in RCID.

RCID/CFTOD was created by a special act of the Florida legislature. Not a “local act.” This is the level of incompetence running the state of Florida.

Nah, but that's more of a media thing than something that matters to the court system. I've worked on a few cases that had as much (and probably more) money at stake for huge corporations, though -- those all lasted for years (as this one probably will).

I imagine that Skyliner cables count?

Same with railroad track?

Soon to be reworded

I don’t know. It wouldn’t surprise me if it wasn’t caught until way too late. But we’ll see.

 

[Touchdown]

Of note this hasn’t passed the legislature yet, Disney is supposedly increasing pressure, and there is only 1 week left of the session and they need to pass a budget.

For now. All it takes is an amendment to the amendment when heard in committee tomorrow. Unless your interpretation is wrong.

It's being heard in committee tomorrow as part of a larger transportation bill.

Well now you gave it away and sunk the Navy

I thought your point was “quickly”?

…I probably misread you then
