Disney readies ride to reopen (http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/news/nation/8004145.htm) - Orange County Register, 2/20/04

QuikQuote: The state Division of Occupational Safety and Health is scheduled to inspect the Big Thunder Mountain ride March 8 and 9, state officials said. If Disney has completed all the mandated changes and DOSH recertifies the attraction, it could reopen in time for the busy spring season.
"It will be a comprehensive review of the ride, its operation and procedures," said state spokesman Dean Fryer. The state agency ordered several changes last November, when it issued a report that linked the accident to a wheel that fell from the train. Experts found that no one had safety-wired or tightened two bolts holding a guide wheel.
