Not sure how much merit she has. Assumption of the risk is the key defense, I suspect. No one knows how your heart will do. If you don't know, how would the ride operator know? And that's the problem. Unless WDW was negligent in maintaining or operating the ride, there's no liability for unknown problems of a rider. Which is why the signs warn of people with back problems, heart problems, etc..

I am wondering that even if she "doesn't have a leg to stand on" what is the history of Disney paying off any such claims before letting it go to trial.
