I have alot of respect for Disney now that they have created a lighter version of M:S. I didn't exactly find the new version as intense (or as fun), but being someone that used to be afraid of rides like this, I have to say that it was a great move.

There is not a level-headed person that would disagree with you. They took a ride open to only a few and broadened its attraction.jedimaster1227 said:

Not only that, but they took an attraction that due to negative attention of the constant ailments/deaths taking place after riding the ride was becoming a walk on attraction and restored its status and popularity. The day before they installed the softer version, I walked onto M:S with no wait. Two days later (the day after the lighter version was introduced), I waited almost 45 minutes to get on.

Not so good news from a Quebec water park
Click here for the story
A seven-year-old boy seriously injured in a swimming pool accident at a Quebec water park has lost both legs below the knee.
One of the boy's legs was severed Monday when he got caught in an intake pipe at the bottom of the pool. The other leg was amputated in hospital.
Alexis Auclair had been playing in the pool at the water park in Saint-Pie, about 50 kilometres east of Montreal.
"He was sucked up in the tube," said witness Frederik Chrétien, an employee at Le Camping des Glissades d'eau St-Pie.
"When he got out, he was missing a foot, and the other was attached by just a little skin," said Chrétien.
Auclair's heart had stopped when he was pulled from the water by a lifeguard and another patron, but his vital signs returned when he was given mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
He was rushed to Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal where doctors amputated his legs below the knee because they were not able to save either foot, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Auclair will be given prosthetic feet.
"He should be able to walk by the end of the summer, and to be back to school," doctors told reporters Tuesday afternoon.
"He will have to learn to walk again."
Water park co-owner Denis Arcand said a lifeguard had warned swimmers they were getting too close to the intake pipe, which is about 30 centimetres in diameter, just before the boy was trapped.
When he saw that the boy was caught, the lifeguard turned off the pump that draws water into the pipe.
Quebec provincial police spokesman Claude Denis said an investigation is underway to determine whether protective screens were in place on the pipe and, if not, at what point they came off.
The park has been closed for an indefinite period of time.

Thankfully the child survived. I hope that he will be able to walk normally, that is a horrible injury.
Pool water intakes HAVE to be protected and when over a certain size isolated from areas where swimmers can easily get caught in them. Many people have been killed and injured in accidents such as this. When going to a water park please look for large drains and intakes and make sure your children avoid them.
