COMMON SENSE!!!
7 people were treated for nausia, thats it, this was more than likely a child that suffered from a heart condition that went undetected, or they didnt know would come into play while riding this ride.
That simple.
If it was something wrong with the ride, they would close it down and fix it.
That .
Its not evil, its a way to decide realisitically if an action will be "worth it", like should the $30 million we have for highway improvements this quarter be used for a bunch of small projects or one large one. It's one component in the decision process. No one wants anyone to get hurt.
Nothing in life is 100% safe. How many people have been injured sitting in front of their computer?
Wow, thats sad. Very scary to read too. I have a really close friend who is on her way to Disney Land right now for vacation. Sheesh, shouldnt have read that.
God Bless their family. That is sooo sad.
i beleive this happened at Disney World in Florida. Disneyland is in California.Wow, thats sad. Very scary to read too. I have a really close friend who is on her way to Disney Land right now for vacation. Sheesh, shouldnt have read that.
God Bless their family. That is sooo sad.
Yes, the said ride is in Orlando, I got a tour of it in November, during a convention.
Interesting ride.
Yeah I know it was in Fla, and even though she is going to Cali, it is just kinda odd to see that as she is on her way to catch a plane.
Im sure she will be fine, never been to Disneyland but would like to go sometime. Disneyworld is a blast.
Oh, I know she will be fine. Im not worried at all. I was just sayin that its kinda odd. But its all good. I never been to either. I heard they were a blast, but expensive. I'll prolly hear all about it when she calls on Fridy.
Disneyland is OK.
I loven to take a week or two, and especially my neices, and hang out at Disneyworld.
Its a great atmosphere, and the resteraunts and parks are a blast.
I love the wilderness lodge, what a place.
On a different note, twice the amount of Earth's gravity. So somewhere around 19.6(Sorry I don't know the unit for measuring gravity). So, if my years of watching action cartoons have given me something then it is this knowlegde: If you were to build a chamber that can raise the gravity and work out there wouldn't you be able to ing be a super human after training in there a sufficient amount of time on Earth. Since you're so used to let's say twice the Earth's gravity shouldn't you be able to left heavier objects and jump higher? Can it be done? I'm gonna try!!!!!!!
Sad story about the boy though. Poor kid.
meters per second squared (m/s^2)
I'm not sure your circulatory system would be able to keep up with the new weight of your blood, but hey, it works in sci-fi novels.
To be fair, there were probably thousands and thousands of cases of "sickness like gonna puke". They're saying 7 people were *hospitalized* for "chest pains, fainting, or nausea". That would be bad news if, say, twenty people had rode the ride. As it is, I agree that the number of incidents is completely and utterly trivial, but it's fun to over react.
So, that's what my statement means then.
There's no reason they can't have both.
That would mean kids would have to bring along their birth certificates when they go to amusement parks.
And you don't think that's required to get discount tickets?
It would just be a bit of a for every kid to have it cuz 100% of the people at like fiesta texas or somethin don't buy discount tickets that have age requirements.
after all the sh!t thats been going on with Disney,I have been turned OFF,from making it one of my "places to go before I die". Its OFF the list.
That is so, so sad what happened to that little boy....
Just a rather puzzling thought, though, I can't be 1 out of only 7 people that have ever ridden that ride to get sick on it.
:vomit
Maybe so, but it could be easily used as protection from people who take kids who are too young to ride on some of these attractions. Especially those who run around without parents.
Just a note from someone who was on that ride last summer:
I went into it knowing, from the seemingly millions of Disney warnings plus reviews, that it was going to be really intense. Two-thirds into the ride my head and stomach were more than ready for it to be over. It's getting older, the body won't take what the mind still wants to do. Still, I enjoyed the ride, I'm glad I experienced it, I give it high marks, but I vowed never to let myself ride it again.
My ten year old boy, on the other hand, couldn't wait to get through the exit and get back in line(without me, of course) with his grandmother's un-used fast pass. He also rode it a couple other times on that trip.
My own opinion as nothing more than an aging veteran of amusement rides/parks of varying degree of thrill vs trust factor...as a youngster, teen, young adult, and for many years now a parent responsible for his kids' safety...the ride produced a reaction that the boy's body couldn't handle, but I don't think I'd say the ride caused(is responsible for) the boy's death. Perhaps they should have an age requirement, but I think their intent is to give out ride info and trust a parent to know their kids' minds and bodies. And Disney does a good job of it.
And I'm not into piling on the boy's parents or trying to sound preachy. But it's so easy to find out about these rides/parks ahead of time, especially the latest and greatest intense rides, and make the best choice you can. It truly is a tragedy and his parents need support rather than a guilt trip.
But I don't think the guilt finger should be pointed at Disney.
use some common sense.There's no reason they can't have both.
Take it from someone who is IN the business.
There are 10 year olds who just barely pass the height stick, and there are 5 years that are bigger than it.
Use common sense User, you go by height not age.
T Park, you make good points.
Height and age can be so contradictory. At some point, the parent has to make a choice in their child's best interests. Can my child physically and mentally handle this ride? Just because he's tall enough doesn't mean his mind can handle it. On the other hand, if he ain't tall enough to safely ride, then it don't matter how mature he is...he shouldn't ride.
