For the average person unfamiliar with Disney rides (and even those who are familiar but can't rattle off ride stats by memory, like me) this is very pertinent information, and not a bit sensational.
Did this happen on a mega-coaster? Or a kiddie coaster? Was it fast? Does it have big drops or is it just tight curves? These are important details that help the reader visualize the environment where this man tragically died while on vacation (and yes, that is newsworthy. Maybe not nationwide, but definitely in Orlando where Disney is the largest employer, and its only local media you are quoting.)
It would be sensational (and irresponsible) for the media to say this a "high-speed, heart-pounding, stomach-churning, death-defying coaster". One could argue that the media should not judge that it is "high speed" without knowing how it compares to other coasters. Is 80mph fast or slow for coasters these days? The article doesn't speculate, it just states the facts--about as dry and unsensational as it gets. The other adjectives are, of course, very subjective and can be disputed by others.
But the media reports say nothing at all like that.
Everyone is so quick to accuse the media of doing a hatchet-job on a story, when in fact, many Disney fans immediately do a hatchet-job on the media.
And the local media at that, who has as much responsibility to cover incidents at its local theme parks as Detroit media do covering accidents and deaths at automobile plants.
