Bling Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 'Mission:Space' subjects riders to 2 G'sManage Alerts | What Is This? LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida (AP) -- A woman died Wednesday after going on a ride at Walt Disney World so intense that it has motion sickness bags.The 49-year-old woman became ill after riding "Mission: Space" on Tuesday. She was taken to a hospital, and died a day later, park spokeswoman Kim Prunty said in a statement.No more information on the woman was available Wednesday, Prunty said. Nor was the cause of death immediately known. (Watch what killed a child on the same ride earlier this year -- 1:22)Meanwhile, the ride has been closed, and a state agency will monitor an inspection, Prunty said.Disney officials told state inspectors Wednesday that the woman felt dizzy and nauseated after the ride and may have had high blood pressure and other health problems, said Terence McElroy, a spokesman for the department that oversees the ride-monitoring agency.The $100 million ride, one of Disney World's most popular, was also closed in June after the death of a 4-year-old boy who passed out while aboard.An autopsy concluded he died of a heart condition that a medical examiner said can cause sudden death in stressful situations.The ride reopened after company engineers concluded it was operating normally."Mission: Space" spins riders in a centrifuge that subjects them to twice the normal force of gravity. Some riders have been taken to the hospital with chest pain.http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/04/13/disney.world.death.ap/index.htmlSHUT THE RIDE DOWN THAT MAKES 2 THAT DIED ON THIS RIDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest coach Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 We ride this fucker every time we go. It's my favorite ride. Rode it twice last weekend. They warn you REALLY hard that it might be too intense for some people. Over and over and over again they say not to do it if you have any issues. I am almost positive that they have turned it down since it opened. It used to be *really* fucking hardcore and now it is just a little bit of spinning. Hell, I've taken corners in the Honda with more G's than this thing pulls. Not to be hard-hearted, but if you can't take it, stay off. No reason to ruin the fun for the rest of us just because some people can't handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
