FDOT regulating Walt Disney World monorail has yet to issue any documentation on it after six months

[Original Story Archive Link]

Greetings from the rollback!

FDOT finally released its first inspection report in December of 2024, nearly a year after this "we still haven't seen a report" article was posted and a year and a half since DeSantis signed the law bringing the WDW Monorail system into FDOT's scope. It seems there was nothing of newsworthy significance.

It's almost as if Disney maintains things like it's in their best interest to do so.

Yeah, weird, a theme park that thinks poor safety would be bad for business. Nothing more ironic than self-described "small government" Republicans wanting more government oversight.

But the new signs on our state borders say we’re free!

What they should say, if truthful: "We're free from liberal overreach."

Every day I deal with issues that should be addressed locally but have been preempted by the state.

I guess, maybe more freee than N Korea, but certainly not free in any strech of the imagination.

Not so free if you need healthcare as a woman, a librarian, enjoy drag or want to be unencumbered to vote.

Is Skyliner being regulated too given it’s a transportation system?

I can't travel to Florida because of the risk of being arrested for the crime of being trans when children are present. Sounds super free to me.

Apparently you can't watch porn here either. It looks like PornHub is going to war with Florida over invasive ID requirements.

I fully expect them to ban dancing soon. Help us, Kevin Bacon.

Some incoming government people want this and more to become the usual for the entire country. Instead of porn, they pleasure themselves while watching most repulsive scenes in The Handmaid's Tale. They will do some damage, but I don't think the majority of Americans will allow it.

You give way too much credit to Americans. If we were like the French I would have zero concern. But the people in this country when asked to bend over will ask how far.

Americans allowed a fascist and felon who fomented an insurrection be president again, knowing what to expect. Americans can't have nice things. And his buddies are trying to tie conditions already to disaster relief for California. Awesome.

I totally understand that. My motto over the last ten or so years is "We are doomed." I view Trump as The Antichrist, or the predecessor to the Antichrist. And I'm agnostic.

I'm holding on to a tiny thread of hope, I guess.

No, don't you remember? He's chosen by God, not despite, but because of his immorality and indiscretions...or something...

To the pure, all things are pure. You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.

Good point. That seems far more risky than the monorail. 🤣

To say nothing of the WDW Railroad.

I'm not a big fan of government overreach but I can't think of a good reason why an airport tram system should be treated any differently than the monorail or the WDW railroad.

I don't know this answer, because...Florida. Are ski lifts regulated by DOT?
