Disneys rock n roller coaster forced to close ;l

No way, they arent going to demolish it because of it. They have another ride called mission to mars that simulates an actual launch of a rocket (Ive been on it) that has killed a few people I believe, but they havent torn it down.

I was about to say that. Aren't they trying to figure out why people are dying on it now?

MM. Most recent was in April. Killed a russian woman.. ;] Only rumors that they're demolishing it. But it's currenty closed.

Ooh I've been on that.

Im not saying it is, but this could have just been a coincidence. He could have just had a seizure on the ride, but it might not of had anything to do with the ride itself.

Poor little 12 year old boy.

Nice names for Emergency Services aswell.

Anywho, If they close down a roller coaster in Disney, what about the people who had died on other roller coaster across the world.

For example: Youth Girl (I think) died in Light-Water Valley (Yorkshire, UK) and then they re-opened it.

So probably they're just going to re-open it after more safety checks. ;D

Because you'd probably not want to demolish a ride because it costs too much.

I think the ride must have triggered something, because the ride itself is in no way unsafe. I've been on it 4 times - twice when i was 10 and twice 3 weeks ago. I saw 7/8 year old kids going on that ride! I doubt it will be demolished because one person died on it, it's one of the best rides in the park!

Edit: The boy had a heart defect, and he collapsed on the ride. It's just one of those things.

They should give his family lots of money and it's stupid how it took the ambulance 5 minutes to get there.

5 minutes is quick actually.

The NHS Paramedics have to take upto 5 minutes for Brain / Heart Injuries.

I know that because my mum is a nurse and my dad works in the NHS Headquarters.

I disagree. The boys death was not disneys fault at all, the boy had a heart defect and collapsed whilst on the ride. Disney do put up plenty of signs warning people of it's high speeds (cmon, 57mph isn't that fast) and it lists what people shouldn't ride (epileptics, pregnant women etc.) and this includes people with heart problems.
