Does the inspect other parks too?
8:56 🚝 monorail inspection is a big nothing burger; Roy Disney and his team built the WDW monorail footings, columns, and beams to last.
Rumor: 2027 will be Disneyland's biggest milestones for Star Wars (50th), Fantasmic (35th), Pirates of the Caribbean (60th), GOTG: Mission Breakout (10th), Cars Land (15th) and Main Street Electrical Parade (55th)!
DVC Island Tower should be shipped back to Hawaii!!
The main pool at the Yacht and Beach Resort is also closing at the end of December for, I think, 6 months.
More things I get to miss in January! Yay! I had missed the Kali River Rapids announcement and now Astro Orbiter closes the day I arrive. Why not the 14th?
hmm no video timestamps?
Well maybe now the monorail doors won't open during travel on the monorail beams…… Unless of course the passengers have parachutes that they have on their backs…
All the attractions in Walt Disney world should be inspected by third party the way these attractions are falling apart and breaking all the time I need an inspection other than Disney to keep them safe.
Watching this with my Santa Gertie! Nice job as always Eric!
The monorail thing just seems like government overreach. Disney already inspects them and regularly takes them down for repairs and refurbishment. One thing you can say about Disney is they have a pretty good safety record.
Nice delivery Eric 🎉
The best thing about this new Poly tower is it's next door to the actual Poly. You can literally compare two highly comparable Disney properties. The original is very themed, whereas the new looks 10x more expensive, and yet very sanitary theming. Everything is smooth as if the prime directive were "we need to be able to hose off the walls and floor every night." Yes, it's "themed" but next door is THEMED. I'm sure the Disney fans who can't see past their own urges will love it without discernment.
Love you guys, but when you talk about the wait signs thing, you talk to that screen, not to us. Just predo a canned demo that doesn't involve figuring it out again every time you pick it up–it makes the device seem complicated and fiddly. It's also brighter than the speaker on the set, which is distracting.
The monorail is starting to show its age in several spots, so inspection is needed.
Thank you Eric and all of the WDWNT Team!
I love it when Eric gives the news!! ❤
Just a thought for your team: Maybe you should schedule your special history events (like Promising Tomorrows) to coincide with the IAAPA Expo in November. IAAPA draws so many professionals and fans who love theme parks, I bet many would love to attend your history-focused events!
Anyone know where the iFARTs murals go once they’re complete?
The strangest thing to come out of that fight with the government that actually makes logical sense. The state inspection of a mass transit system. I trust Disney, and we all should, however never hurts to verify. I can not believe I agree with the crazy Florida man governor but this actually makes sense and is not a total waste of time nor tax payer dollars. The system was deemed safe, we all knew it would be, however now Disney know some one can do something, and maybe that provides an on going counter balance to any spread sheet folks to cut the budget.
I've ridden the monorail for more than 30 years since our very 1st visit to WDW. Never, ever felt unsafe. But driving down I75 to get to Orlando and back home is another matter. Feel like I'm taking my life into my hands every single time. Sure wish Florida's vindictive state government & FTOD would monitor their state roads & highways for legal compliance as much as they are focused on Disney. Those are the dangerous transportation systems down there, not the monorail.
Great video. Still bitter about that jerk dessntis.
I wonder if they’ll be able to/will use any components from TriceraTop Spin in refurbishing Astro Orbiter
