Was in Fastpass line Saturday morning about 10:30 when they stopped letting people into the building. A few minutes later we releazed somebody passed out on the walk into the building. A CM came with some water. A few minutes later, a teenager in a wheel chair was pushed into the backstage area and they started to let people into the building again.

Then again, people are there to have fun. Not to worry about keeping themselves hydrated or anything... :brick: :hammer:
And don't make the mistake of assuming that because you're drinking caffeinated sodas, tea, coffee, or alchohol that you're hydrated...you aren't!
You need water or juice drinks. Why do you think someone invented lemonade? :lol:

Are the lines to intense for people now? Does this mean we will have orange and green queue lines for the queue lines?
No word on if any changes to the queue will be made in light of this recent event. Rumors are that people are demanding water coolers and warning signs thoughout the queue, in order to prevent this terrible tragedy from affecting others. Also, no word yet on a lawsuit, but several lawyers were seen swooping in on vultures after the person collapsed.
When are people going to realize that these lines are dangerous and shut the down. Was the line inspected by a third party to determine if it was working correctly?

I blame the inadequate signage on Mission:Space.
...oh, and also somehow this is also Alien Encounter's fault.

exactly! That's what they were telling us here a month or so ago...because most of my town was out of power and it was hotter than blazes. So they told us not to drink soda...and instead try to drink lots of water (which had to be bottled...since there was a boil order on part of the city too...:lol: )

Keep in mind, it wasn't the line's fault. It had to have been operator of the line. :lol: The moral of today's lesson: Use FP on outdoor queues, or don't visit during a heat wave.

For all here having fun, here is my story of passing out in WDW…
It was when I was in high school and was staying at Dixie Landings (now known as Port Orleans Riverside). My parents and I were headed to the Kingdom. I didn’t eat breakfast since we were going to eat at the <ST1<?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
Magic</st1laceName> <st1laceType w:st=" /><st1laceName w:st="on">Crystal</st1laceName> <st1laceName w:st="on">Palace</st1laceName>. As you know, the bus rides from the Moderate Resorts are PACKED. So my mom could sit, I stood the whole way. I was in the back, right in front of the doors. As we started passing the Contemporary, I started getting light headed. I thought about sitting on the floor of the bus, but I was too embarrassed to do that. So I figured I would just wait until the bus stopped and then sit on the first bench I came to.
The bus pulled up to the stop and the doors opened. I took one step down, turned to my father and said, “I’m going to pass out.” I heard him say “What?” and then everything went black. I’m told my dad grabbed my waist just before I hit the ground. Now remember, I was the one right in front of the doors. So that meant every single person getting off the bus had to walk right past me. (Everyone better be laughing by now.) I woke up to about 10 people standing over me, including the bus driver. He had gotten a wheelchair, which I then had to sit in.
The word embarrassed doesn’t even do justice to how I felt.
Don’t worry; I didn’t sue Disney because they failed to force feed me breakfast before I got on the bus.

I pass out regularly while at WDW. Normally between 11:30 PM and Midnight. I am generally resusitated about 7am. :lookaroun
When you have tossed your cookies from the back seat of a loaded tram at Epcot come talk to me about being embarrassed.:lol:

For all you people who feel that Disney should shut down this queue, keep in mind that more people pass through that queue than the queues at your local theme park. It doesn't mean that the queue is any more dangerous than any other queue. It's just a statistical inevitability that someone will pass out while standing in line. To prove my faith in the safety of that queue, the next time I'm at MGM I will go straight to RnRC and walk through there. I have no fear that I will pass out. :hammer:

I just can't believe the parents would permit a kid that young to go on a queue like that. I don't care if he met the height requirement or not he should have never been let in that queue. Parents these days are so irresponsible.
