Don't know we usually would have heard something by now if she had passed.. Could just be in critical condition and they are trying to figure out what to do.

Maybe she was wearing a pacemaker or something, or had heart conditions, or she failed to read the sign?
This is not the first time somebody died after riding Space Mountain and losing conciousness. According to Wikipedia, here's an interesting incident on the same ride:
7-year-old boy fainted after riding Space Mountain on August 1, 2006 and was taken to Florida Hospital Celebration where he died of natural causes. The victim was a terminal cancer patient visiting the Magic Kingdom as a part of the Give Kids The World program.
See the thing I highlighted in red? That is why he shouldn't had rode Space Mountain if he was from Give Kids The World!

Perhaps, but that is being awfully presumptuous. He was likely going to pass anyway. It was just his time.
He was likely not an incident of medical conditions waiting to happen or be triggered, he was likely already so ill and the family was trying to give him the best time while they still could.
I suggest looking more into Give Kids the World is that is the mentality you have with it.

I sure hope she is going to be ok.
If it was my time to go, I would want to leave this world doing something I love. So I would hope my family wouldn't sue if I died while doing anything at Disney. What better way to go out then doing something I love and having my last memories be in my favorite place on Earth.

Even if there was a chance that Disney was actually complicit in your death?

It's pretty rare, but I think there are times that Disney has actually been responsible, such as that Thunder Mountain accident at Disneyland a few years ago and the monorail crash more recently. Freak accidents of course, but still more Disney's "fault" than the guests.

May be more Disney's fault than the guest, but still a freak accident.
Not sure exactly how it would be Disney that complicates my death if I go on a ride and have a heart attack. Even if I didn't know I had a condition, how is that Disney's fault? If you are talking about an accident, I would still feel the same way. Accidents happen and people are sue happy. Unless a Disney employee deliberately sets out to harm me, I wouldn't want my family to sue.
That is a fair statement but there is neglect. The other posters have a point. It HAS happened. Mostly at DL. Neglect on the Big Thunder Mountain track, and the cutbacks and shortcuts that allowed the posts on the Columbia's doc to buckle under pressure and kill. It happens, and those are the times when Disney should pay.

There's a big difference in having a heart attack on a ride and having a ride malfunction or break. If a ride isn't maintained or run properly and someone is injured or killed, it doesn't matter if it wasn't done on purpose, it's still the company's fault.
Suing for wrongful death isn't always purely malicious. Death and dying is expensive.

And this is why guests need to make sure that they are medically able to ride any attractions at wdw. I swear that M:S was a heart diagnosis device for the longest time.

If one can't afford insurance, them surely they cannot afford to be vacationing at WDW.

Nah, we're talking value resort guests, no one ever dies at a deluxe resort.
