Im not sure whats more offensive... The horrible journalism, or the picture depicting Space Mountain as being that clean and freshly painted

"A doctor said she had a history of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."


I see nothing here folks. Just a woman who made a poor choice to ride a roller coaster after avoiding the warnings and not taking care of herself.

My dad died after riding Tower of Terror. Granted it was about 8 years later, and from a stroke related to diabetes and kidney failure.

Sorry for your loss, but that's what I felt like writing after reading that article. lol

I thought there Space Mountain had a safeguard against people with the medical condition described. Specifically, they couldn't fit inside the ride car.

And the warnings you hear constantly walking through Star Tunnel...errrrrrrr

Technically, doesn't everyone who rides Space Mountain die after riding it?

I mean, the alternative might raise some eyebrows.

Must be that invisible oxygen dome (at least, they SAY it's oxygen).

If you think MK crowds are bad now, wait until this news gets out.

A link towards the bottom of the page suggests that parking lots can kill you as well.

Don't see the humor here. There are thousands that ride the mountains, Space, Thunder, Splash et all. That when looking at them in line are 50 pounds overweight, obviously not in great health, but are there to enjoy a vacation with their families. This was somebody's mother, wife, sister, grandmother... Yeah, great with all your pithy remarks....I just hope the family has adjusted. I guess this is just where society is going. Too bad none of you could've posted the actual event on Periscope or added it to Facebook.

This isn't a story about a family suing Disney because someone didn't adhere to safety warnings. It's about someone who went to the parks and went on a ride she probably shouldn't have had (but one most people with similar conditions ride every day).

Bravo - someone with enough character to stand up for sanity.
These aren't jokes, these are real human beings with lives, hearts, and families.
They want to enjoy parks just like everyone else.

"A doctor said she had a history of high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease."

I don't believe most people with similar conditions ride this ride everyday. Unfortunately, even not going on Space Mountain, this was going to happen to her sooner rather than later.
