4-Year-Old Dies On Disney RideWizBang has a post up about a space flight simulator that poses for a ride at Walt Disney World.The ride, Mission: Space, is at the center of an ongoing federal lawsuit between the Bucks County company that originated the design and Disney - a suit in which public safety is among the issues. Designers have described the ride as 'a multiple arm centrifuge which simulates space launch and reentry.' The boy, at 3-foot-10, fulfilled the ride's 44-inch height requirement. Mission: Space opened to the public on Aug. 15, 2003. In its first eight months of operation, six people were hospitalized for at least a day after riding the launch, according to the Florida Bureau of Fair Rides Inspection. All were older than 55, and suffered nausea and chest pains. None was seriously injured. That was the most hospital visits for any ride since 2001, when Florida's large theme parks agreed to report such incidents to the state. Disney began distributing sickness bags and posted additional signs warning that the ride was intense and riders should be in good health. Let's not underplay the fact that this ride subjects a user to 2 G's - is this something that a 4 year-old child should be on in the first place? I think not. |
