lol that's exactly right, isn't it made out of steel as well? (duh me for the structure it has 2 be) I remember standing in line at MK to see some characters and since it was taking so long the cast member started doing a pop quiz with the crowd and one of the questions he asked was "How many bricks are on Cinderella's Castle?" Strangely enough, nobody knew but me and when I shouted out the answer I think he was a bit taken aback because he thought he was going to fool everyone. But not me! hehehe...:lol:
And I wasn't comparing these two incidents on the basis of the CAUSE, as you seem to assume. Rather, I was pointing out that Disney never seems to want to accept responsibility for accidents in their own parks...even when it IS clearly negligence on their part.
By the way, the calls for federal legislation that were brought about by the Columbia incident (as referenced in the article that was posted above), was strenuously fought by Disney. They have been adamently opposed to having state and federal safety inspectors checking out their parks. That's gotta make you wonder.

I think that we can argue this one forever...there will never be a winner. That doctor will never be able to practice again. Disney's image is once again tarnished. Disney is responsible for creating a SAFE environment for it's visitors. This costs money and cuts into profits (you have to keep the stockholders happy and that hasen't happened lately). I love Walt just as much as the next person, but if you dig a little you will find out he wasn't the sweet man that was presented to the media. He was difficult to work with, moody (aren't most creative people). Do I think he would be disappointed with the business today? YES, but he was a businessman and he would deal with it. I will continue to go to WDW and ride all of my favorite rides and try out the new ones, but I will also keep my eyes open (like I always do) to try and ensure the saftey of my family and myself.

this is starting to be pointless and stupid and it's creating arguments, it's also making Walt Disney World look like a hazard zone, and it's not. Why don't you start looking at other parks and stop just picking on Disney. I'm sure Six Flags parks aren't perfect. I was at a Six Flags once and the people and staff there were moody, mean, and the park was dirty and un-clean. Disney World has it's faults, but other theme parks are MUCH worse. Look at Disney, it's surpasses all others in safetly and cleanliness AND friendliness.:animwink:

Well look at how other rides are run in other parks, some rides I've seen in other parks are ready to fall apart. Disney's always improving the way it runs things, besides the fact of the economy being down in the dumps. Since I've been to Disney World about 11 times in the past 9 years, nothing has happened to me nor have I seen anyone get injured on a ride. I went to another park once, and a few days later on the news there were reports of a man that almost fell off one of the roller coasters there. Although don't think I'm saying that Disney is perfect either, every park should have regular check-ups on it's safety. Maybe Disney faltered on this once or twice, but that certainly doesn't mean they are a hazard zone, which some people are making it out to be. In my opinion, Disney the best place on Earth, and I'd recommend to anyone to go there. If Disney has proof that an object didn't fall on his head, then I'm pretty sure they are not lying, nobody is stupid enough to do that. So some how, some way, they will settle this case, and in a few days, months, whatever, we will completely forget about this stupid topic and move on. Also, everyone including me might know the whole story, maybe there's more to it that's confidential. So basically, we are all making stupid assumptions and rumors that may not exactly be true. And I stand by what I say, Disney is the best of all, nothing can beat it. Why do you think millions of people go to Walt Disney World every year instead of going to someplace else? Because it is the best. My best friend and I have a theory, Walt Disney World is like the boulder, the rest around it are mere pebbles. Disney is the best and will always be the best, no matter what people say. It is the most magical place on Earth, and will always be that way, period.

What really makes me angry about this is they consider closing a ride after an icident like this . This world has become soooo greedy .I surely can understand the injury , im glad he is ok, BUT please dont junp form the sky way just because you know you can!!!! I fear that lots of rides will be closed due to stupid acts.
I also wanted to state , If any of us go to any event where thousands of people are there is some higher risk of being injured. I went to the movies once and someone through something that hit me in the back of the head , but I didnt go sueing the theatre????? Whats wrong with people?? TOO bad we cant see him caught on tape!!!!! John:hammer:

Thanks MainStreet You've kept me from flipping out so far. Btw- I must add that this man is NOT ok. That is the entire point behind the lawsuit.

well what statistics have you seen that shows Disney is worse than other parks? If Disney was worse, then millions of people wouldn't be going to Walt Disney World, now would they? And, of course, millions of people still want to go to Disney World, thus Disney must be pretty safe. Not to be rude or anything, but you sound to me like you are saying that Disney World sucks.
