Monorail Inspections Make Disney MAD: Florida Oversees Disney World After October Big Bang E-Stop!
#disney #disneyworld #disneynews #waltdisneyworld #disneyparks #magickingdom #epcot #monorail #monorails #cftod #rcid #reedycreek #centralflorida #inspections
The State of Florida is taking a look at Disney’s monorails every two years to make sure they’re operating correctly. That has Disney big mad and they’re claiming it’s retaliation. The issue one might take is that it was less than three months ago that guests reported a flash of light and loud bang that caused emergency services to rescue them from the monorail. Disney said it was a flat tire. We have the video.

Free market state using overreaching socialist regulations against a socialist leftist entity that was exempt? Priceless. Please let them move to NY & siphon off them
Periodic safety inspections are obviously necessary. Having it done by someone other than Disney or any organization controlled by Disney is a great idea.
Disney had such a sweet thing going. They were their own government, essentially. They had a clear choice to avoid antagonizing Florida by skipping the misleading propaganda phrase "Don't Say Gay.' They could have painted the park in rainbows and made their love of LGBTQ known in a hundred other ways. But that wasn't good enough! Disney activists insisted on going to war, and a war they got.
Y'all done messed up A-Arron! How's that woke stance working for you now Disney?
I’m sorry when it comes to safety I think that things like monorails and rides should be inspected every six months, and if they’re not up to code, if there’s anything not up to code in the park, the park is shut down until it’s fixed and then signed off by more inspectors and Disney should have an entire army of inspectors devoted to looking up everything trick. If I had My Way,, Disney World would be shut down for too much shows it all sorts of inspectors health, inspectors safety, inspectors every kind of inspector fire inspectors can go over that death trap and find out what’s wrong until Disney they get this long to fix it. If they don’t it’s $20 million a day until they fix it.
based on what was described it sounds like a tire did indeed either explode or go flat, and it sounds like the safety systems on board had the driver come to a stop and then the train electrically disconnected from the monorail beam, though not sure if its able to do that, as it would be kinda dumb, though state inspections sound like a good thing in this case
The inspections have NOTHING to do with Governor DeSantis or targeting by the state of Florida. So sick of Disney whining about every little thing that goes against their once preferred status.
Iger’s always angry, what’s the difference this time?
This sure ain't the Disney of the 90s where park assets had strict maintenance and inspection guidelines that were adhered to. This is the "cut cost at every opportunity and shove the agenda at everyone" Disney that will ultimately sink.
How much is the board shorting AMC?
Disney does their inspections the cheap and lazy way and the legit state inspectors go in and inspect things the lengthy way. Disney is afraid the actual inspectors will find problems.
State or federal inspections should have been required when they had the lose of life accident when 2 of the, collided.
I think they should do a few unannounced spot inspections of the equipment. After all, if routine maintenance and routine inspections are being performed, they have nothing to fear. However, if the inspections have been pencil whipped (and trained inspectors can tell – believe me), then I can see why Disney is all wound up. Safety inspections are required in all other walks of life, from Military to Civil, so why should they be any different? If your record is so stellar, then you should be encouraging the inspections to prove that you've been above and beyond for all these years. Oh – wait – all the audits so far have been quite the opposite – go figure.
A flat tire on the monorail? Have you seen the rest of Florida?
Checks & balances are always important in any system. When corporations like Disney complain about too much red tape & bureaucratic bungling, I get that. Small businesses in particular in many cities of the US are taxed & hounded out of existence. So it ultimately comes down to just how honest, sensible & ethical BOTH the public & private sectors are. Or aren't. In general, lots of woke people (in a Disney Co. or local/state/federal government) aren't exactly the best when it comes to honesty, logic, integrity & ethics. Now we have a problem. having worked at WDW on Space Mountain for 1 year I can tell you that tires burst or explode on the monorail all the time, and yes it sounds like an explosion every time it happens. so yes there is some truth to what is being said. there's a burst of light, a very loud sound, and a slight vibration would be felt throughout the train. this is very common but it doesn't put guests in danger. and it is very common for the driver to slow down a bit afterward. Thank you. great report. I just like to point out that the NYC subway train is not inspected by a "3rd" party. In a recent accident two trains hit each other the NTSB came in and found many problems with the subway trains and system.. 15 years ago there were a few accidents on the Metro North and Port Authority trains (which own the trains). I worked for a Black box GPS company and we put together a proposal to them including alerts and emergency stop plans as well as positioning and speed. It is kind of funny that NYC never implemented any of those plans that the NTSB wanted then.. so the city is responsible for its own transportation and does not have to do anything that is recommended by this inspection. Again thank you…… but on the other hand, maybe just maybe what we call breakdowns are just added special effect features of the attraction…The doors open up while the monorail is in motion, well that is fresh air-conditioning. That loud bang and bright flash could be a pre-show to something. People being rescued is added participation by the guests….. More value for what they paid for you see… Should I go work for Disney in marketing…. 🙂 I can't wait till Florida AG gets ahold of Disney based on what was described it sounds like a tire did indeed either explode or go flat, and it sounds like the safety systems on board had the driver come to a stop and then the train electrically disconnected from the monorail beam, though I am not sure if it's able to do that, as it would be kinda dumb, though state inspections sound like a good thing in this case Every Class 1 railroad in the US is inspected by the Department of Transportation which has over 400 railroad inspectors!!! Further, railroads are required, by law, to inspect their tracks and equipment at regularly scheduled intervals and keep records of the same! While the monorail is not subject to Federal DOT inspections, I find it bizarre that this has not been the case for the Disney monorail at a state level! Jesus Christ, what the hell was FL thinking all those years ago!!!
ProWaltShockShine your lights bright, Inspectors! Make the cockroaches run!ProMouseTrapProGhostMouseProSteamboat With all the problematic breakdowns that have been happening at Disney outside inspectors should be doing the checking. Disney wants to run a theme park and then maintain the theme park. What is this hole in the neck of an animatronic? The current MK VI monorails have been running for at least 31 years. [Blue might be 35 years old.] The beams are only 53-54 years old, except for the EPCOT loop at around 41 years old. So yeah, inspections seem like a good idea.
Disney is filled with fools tools and woke. I'm glad they are going to pay the price finally.
re: number of emergency vehicles
just because they've got 20 vehicles present doesn't mean that 20 vehicles were needed. if there's nothing else going on, all the PD and FD in the area are likely to show up, simply out of boredom.

i know this from personal experience. more than once.
Amusement parks self-inspecting their safety-critical equipment? That’s how you get laws mandating government inspections of amusement parks.
‘I survived the Monorail 2023’ 👕
Inspecting the ride vehicles is a minor part of the safety issue. From the photos I’ve seen the structure have much cracking and spalling. The monorail structures are currently grandfathered in because they are not up to modern codes. Any structural repairs will have to be performed following current codes.
Monorail inspection? Nah… that sounds more like a S-H-E-L-B-Y-V-I-L-L-E idea!
ClownfishTV have mentioned for years how the monorails at Disney World are beyond busted.
Disney have lost their minds. They should welcome an inspection to make sure none of their guests get caught up in some kind of accident. Monorails are no different than a car or the human body. It needs maintenance.Prevention is better than cure. It must be inspected regularly, like aeroplanes.🤦♂🤦♂
If I recall, Kneon and Geeky Sparkles from Clownfish TV were once on a monorail that caught fire. They said they commonly get reports of breakdowns, faulty doors that slide open when it's miving, and stinking of urine.
Does Disney mean they blew a maglev coil. Maglev monorails don't have tires.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Homeless sleeping with rats in New York subways, and we should cheer for the stock markets making all time new highs, why????
Disney didn't want the state doing inspections on the monorail, despite it being an obvious public safety concern, and any ambiguity in HB 1305 Disney would have used as a loophole to try to weasel out of the inspections, claiming the monorail didn't fall under the provisions of the law. In short the Florida Legislature HAD to get extremely specific to ensure no loopholes existed. Targeted language? Yes. Why? It was the only way to force Disney to allow F-DOT to inspect the monorail.
Hang on! Why are there HIDDEN Jewish Tunnels in New York City? | Redacted News
Wait wait wait, die Disney really say a flat tire on a *monorail*? I believe they'Re stupid enough, so…
Yes a third party in the state of Florida to inspect ALL Monorails and other equipment that ferry people – Disney may not like it but the the FANS will feel SAFER.
I find it hilarious that anyone believes that the monorails have never been inspected before.
Having them inspected by Florida is a minor change to an aging fleet. Problems will probably still happen from time to time when you are operating an over 30 year old fleet. The current Mark VI monorails went into service in the early 90s.
As for the flash of light from a tire explosion, some have clearly not seen tire explosions at close range or low light conditions. The light is not uncommon from a tire explosion. It’s just not always visible in daylight conditions.
Can you share the link to the music in this video , please ?
Love it !
sings MONORAIL!
The sane, noncommunist response for Disney would be to SHOW OFF and say "Look how safe it is and how unfounded all this fuss is", but alas…
I don't want anything to do with WOKE Disney or their rubbish WOKE films.
Why are they so concerned about a inspection, if they we're supposed to be keeping up with the maintenance of it. Unless they know of problems that wouldn't pass a inspection. Sounds like they are worried about something. And don't want to be held accountable for it. THEY CAN ALWAYS JUST BLAME THE QUEST FOR IT! THAT'S WHAT THEY DO NOW ANY WAY!
This is retaliation for the don’t say gay bill and it’s vastly needed. Two things can be true. How do we know it’s retaliation no one else with a private rail has to have an inspection and it needed to be done 20 years ago. The timing is why it’s retaliation. And yes they do intend to shut the thing down for a while. Which will kill all the resorts around magic kingdom. That is the intent: doesn’t matter if there really is a safety issue. When they start butting in to the other parks and universal has a couple that would qualify then they can be in their high horse about caring about the plebes.
Disney needs to simply clean house, from the top to the bottom. People say you need to do this gradually to prevent disruption, but I was in the navy back in 1981 and remember the following:
"The Navy has ousted more than 2,600 sailors through a quick-purge program that commanders say improved the morale and fighting quality of other shipmates.
The surprising thing is that when you get these people off the ship, we're still getting the same amount of work done," said Capt. Paul Feran, commander of the Navy oiler U.S.S. Kalamazoo, who discharged 20 sailors from his 360-member crew through Project Upgrade, which ended Monday."
Disney definitely needs the boost to morale.
I would be profoundly surprised if they don't inspect in the off-hours.
With the disasters I hear about Disney, I feel even a monorail inspection a month would be too generous, nevermind the standard couple of years.
Disney knows how to handle there own inspections. They have done this for fifty years. It is normal for a tire to have a blow out at times. Disney has been doing inspections and rescues for years. The vehicles in this video are. The same Disney teams that have been doing this for years. Let's just spend more taxpayer's money to do what Disney has been doing for the last fifty years.
Reminds me of The Pearl Harbor Hirohito parade at Disneyland. Hirohito given a Knight of the Garter medal for bombing Pearl Harbor. Pretend you don't know or remember.
1) bridges get inspected every 2 years. So this isn’t over the top. 2) the monorail rides on tires and is powered by external conductors. If a tire blows, it’s not unreasonable to think those connections arc’d and caused a loud pop or “explosion”.
If government resources are used to rescue people when breakdowns occur, then it's perfectly reasonable for government to want to inspect them.
It's very reasonable!
Disney has done an outstanding job with inspecting their own rides when they had their own governance granted by the State of Florida way back in 1967. This is why Ron DeSantes will never be elected president.
