I won't say what it is here but this is a heads up to when its actually announced on the local/national news. One of Epcot's top attractions was shut down for most of the afternoon due to this incident. Thats all I am going to say, use your imagination.

I was hoping you could be a little more vague.

Okay, I've been watching my news, and the only thing that has been on is "Michael Jackson"...Wacko-Jacko's innocence! *rolls eyes*
I've checked orlandosentinel.com, disney.com...all the sites that would have posted anything this tragic...so either this is a really bad attempt at a joke, or something did happen, and things are hush-hush..I'm sticking to joke-attempt.
Perhaps a little less info?
Or a hint, perhaps? C'mon, you know you wanna.

This is what happened. Disney does not want to announce anything yet but soon enough they will have to. Highlight the text to read it.
A little boy was riding Mission: SPACE and passed out on the ride. The paramedics tried to revive him but he died on the way to the hospital. They aren't 100% sure what happened but the ride was closed all afternoon for a full-on investigation.

That is really sad. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Any news on how old the boy was?

Sounds to me like a pre-existing condition..could have been severe asthma set off by some lady's perfume or some lad's cologne...or he could have simply been affected by Mission Space's ride adventure itself...some people just can't handle it.
His death is regretful and sad, though.

True true, they have plenty of warnings and if this story is true I'm sure the boy had somthing wrong with him to start, you won't beleive the number of dummies, mostly foriegn who go on these rides, and have such thing as epeletcy(SP?) or other conditions then have problems. Its no fault of Disney, they warn. Now if the ride went crazy and like blew-up or like the crashes that they have had then people should be concerned.
That is why Disney was doing a full-on investigation of the ride, to make sure it wasn't caused by the actual ride itself. I also agree that it probably was a pre-exisiting condition but we aren't going to know until they do an autopsy.Tara Mae said:Sounds to me like a pre-existing condition..could have been severe asthma set off by some lady's perfume or some lad's cologne...or he could have simply been affected by Mission Space's ride adventure itself...some people just can't handle it.

thats sad
i feel bad for the child
some things just hapen though, MS is an intenses ride. it affects everyone differently. i loved it, my cousin was almost sick. just like RRC, my cosin loved it, i got sick. the childs body probally couldnt' handle the g-force, no blood to the brain, well... you loose concisness.
sad, unfortunate, but not really anyone's fault.

I work at Mission: SPACE and was working there today when this happened. They naturally told us what happened so there wouldn't be any confusion.BadTigger said:

i just got a call from a friend who is a CM at epcot, who confirmed this, but with no added details...
edit: sorry, i should have read every post, i thought there was still debate on whether or not it happened...
very sad to hear this though!
