State of Florida Inspects Disney Monorails, Polynesian Island Tower Preview

[@soljadreams24]

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)!

What’s the rumor?

8:56 🚝 monorail inspection is a big nothing burger; Roy Disney and his team built the WDW monorail footings, columns, and beams to last.

The monorail is over 50 years old now and should be inspected.

[@toddw8396]

@@RoastBeefSandwich you completely missed my point-look at how well it’s built: 50 years later it’s still in great shape. It’s fine that the state wants to inspect every couple of years going forward. I am sure Disney will continue with more frequent self-inspection between the state inspection intervals.

​@@RoastBeefSandwichhuh, nothing to do with the previous comment

[@GetNLine]

​@@RoastBeefSandwichof course it needs to be inspected it always has been

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.

Watching this with my Santa Gertie! Nice job as always Eric!

[@kboostmobile6580]

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...

[@SandraLovesSun]

Nice delivery Eric 🎉

The main pool at the Yacht and Beach Resort is also closing at the end of December for, I think, 6 months.

DVC Island Tower should be shipped back to Hawaii!!

[@JoseGAyala-lf7cx]

Does the inspect other parks too?

[@adamp2384]

Yup Disney was the exception with Reddy creek in the past, All other parks in Florida are inspected by the state. Disney used to self inspect

[@DrAngelKins]

This is good. That means they can not bullcrap on safety

[@WDWNT]

They never have though.

[@GetNLine]

​@@DrAngelKinsInteresting comment. Have they done this in the past?

[@kboostmobile6580]

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.

[@WDWNT]

When is the last time someone got injured on a Disney ride? I understand there are maintenance problems, but they very rarely seem to be safety related.

[@spoonlessvalkyrie7514]

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.

[@SandraLovesSun]

True. Only problem I ever had was a hard stop on Space Mountain one time - head went back like a Pez dispenser. Used to go once a week for years, I felt safe.

[@FilmAppreciationSociety]

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?

[@WDWNT]

January is the off-season and is most commonly when attraction close for refurbishment
