"Disney has had bad luck for a while. They have had many deaths do to Mission Space in Orlando, Florida. On one day a family makes a descion to ride the "Rockin' Roller Coaster" but suprisingly a kid of the family has heart failures from is live in the begining of his life. Not a wise desicion he chooses to ride the Rockin' Roller Coaster, with an intense speed of 0 To 60 mph. Due to his heart problems the child at 12 years old dies at the begining launch." http://www.wdwinfo.com/Photos/MGM-Studios/images/Rock%20'n'%20Roller%20Coaster_03.jpg

2 deaths is many?

[Orion]

No its 5 deaths, but 4 were on mission space.

[Cyberleader]

^Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought there were 2 deaths on mission space or is that just in the last year? Hmmmm....

[TheSkipper]

From a news report locally, there have been 9 deaths in all Disney Parks since 2003. No figures were given to totals from opening of ALL Disney Parks.
So, say it's 3 a year based on this report. for Dineyland, 3 a year for 51 years? is 153.. For Magic Kingdom 3 a year for 34 years is 102 etc.
However if the 3 a year is across all their parks, I'd say that's a pretty good track record.

well, the kid actually did not know he had heart problems. My brother in law was there when it happened. He was in MGM. he went to RNRC to see there were any problems at all. THe ride was working fine, but the kid unfortuneatly was not.:( :(

[Orion]

Well the family admitted that he had heart problems in his earlier years.

[live_the_thrill]

Why is there so many threads one this child’s death, some could see it as un-respectful.

[Orion]

Sry if i offended u dude. I was just spreadin' around the news that even though the sign says "don't ride if u have health problems". U might not know that you have a problem and ride the ride with problems and die not knowing it so go to the doctor, get checked up, and if you do have problems please stay away from the ride.

[RollerC]

I don't see this as dis-respect for the family...more of a lesson of what happens when people don't read the rules.

[TopxXThrill]

"many deaths" :haha:

try two.... :haha:.. and it wasnt even the companys fault, it was the guests' for riding

No its 5 deaths, but 4 were on mission space.
might* wanna check that ;)

[Startours_3000]

I agree with RollerC, if u knew u had heart problems u shouldn't have gone on it, and im surprised the Parents of the kid, let him go on. They Should have made a better decision.

its sad the media consatrates on disney and six flag if an accident happens at a small park its not that big. o well live and learn

[Matandmel05]

If you think about it, a lot of Disney's patrons are from another country and can't speak english so, they probably can't read the warning signs either. How many of us actually take time to read a warning sign before we get on a ride? I might glance at it really quickly but, that's about the extent of it. I know my body and what it can or cannot take.

[Squid2]

While the warning signs are in english, there are plenty of maps in various languages with the warnings, and there are translators that you can take around the park with you. These translators give you all the pertinent details of the rides, including the warnings. So I can't see using language as an excuse.

I just dont think people care about the signs. They look at them and think,"oh, nothing will happen to me even if i have one of those health problems"

[Orion]

Thank You for reaching my point Z@X. Well U said it way better than i explained it.

[kylr23]

yep most of them are carless smokers who wont care even if they burnt someone with a lit cigeret (wich happend to me)

[BorisTheFish]

yep most of them are carless smokers who wont care even if they burnt someone with a lit cigeret (wich happend to me)WTF - most of who are careless smokers? :bulb:

[nickdaegg]

Yes. Everyone who doesn't look at a warning sign smokes. Didn't you get the memo? :downcast:

[Orion]

LOL

(:nuts:Click on the saw table link in my signature its awesome!:nuts:)

[Harpo]

Unfortunately, the warning signs get cluttered with things that should be obvious, such as, "parents, please watch your children," resulting from incidents in which the parents weren't watching their children. Too many warnings become noise to many people, hence they wind up getting ignored.

Personally, I'd rather see something at the beginning of the park indicating a set of standard warnings that pertain to all rides, then have only ride-specific add-ons where appropriate.

[Cyberleader]

How about a system, as you enter the park, you have to sign to abide by all of the warnings, signs etc. Any kind of death or incident that comes under this is not Disney's liability. Or maybe just by entering the park you agree to this

[nickdaegg]

That's the general assumption, at least in England, anyway. Not in sue-happy America though. Judge Judy would find a loophole anyway.
