Monorail reopens to guests today

OSHA has cleared the Walt Disney World monorail for public use once again. According to the Orlando Sentinel, Disney will return the monorail to service, with added safety features.

"We have completed a thorough safety inspection and system checks to verify that it is safe to operate the monorail for our guests and cast," Disney informed employees in a note this morning. "We've added additional verifications of these track switch positions, supplemented our safety procedures and protocols for these operations, and communicated these changes to our Transportation partners."

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the note to employees also indicated the incident happened while one monorail was being transferred off the Epcot line. So far, there is no further word on what may have caused the deadly accident early Sunday morning.
