12 Year old Boy Dies at Disney's Rock and Roller Coaster (MGM Studios)
Disney could not be reached for comment, and few details were available.
The boy was unresponsive in his seat at the end of the Rock 'N' Roller coaster ride, said Terry McElroy of the Florida Department of Agriculture, which regulates the industry. The boy was given CPR and taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities don't know at this time if he was riding by himself or with family members. The incident occurred at 11:30 a.m. Disney reported the accident to Florida police at 1 p.m. Disney shut down the ride and an inspector was on site to observe the Disney investigation. The Orange County Sheriff's Office is conducting an investigation as well. Disney boasts of the ride on its Web site, "Zoom from 0-60 mph with the force of a supersonic F-14, take in high-speed loops and turns synchronized to a specially recorded Aerosmith soundtrack and zip through Tinseltown in the biggest, loudest limo you've ever seen." One month ago, another child died on the Disney ride "Mission Space" at the Epcot Center. This is sad....

12 Year old Boy Dies at Disney's Rock and Roller Coaster (Oh no! Not again!)
While most facts are unknown, a 12 year old boy has died after riding Rock and Roller Coaster this morning. Please let's not rush to judgement of thrill rides again. When everything is known, I would be surprised if the boy didn't have some sort of underlying health issue that nobody was aware of.
My condolences to his family and friends and to those who rode and witnessed this first hand.

When was this? That Mission space thing was quite some time ago.

On April 12, 2006, a 49-year-old woman visiting from Germany died one day after riding Mission: Space." WESH-TV Not last month, last year. Officially RnRCoaster only launches at 57 mph, not 60. Compared to a real carrier cat shot, this is nothing. I've ridden a coaster that shoots you at 120, and compared to that, RnRCoaster is mildly more accelerating than dragging with someone from a green light. I'll bet there's an underlying health issue here too.

Re: 12 Year old Boy Dies at Disney's Rock and Roller Coaster (MGM Studios)
Is this recently? I have never heard about this which leads me to think it just happened, but didn't the boy who dies on M:S happen a while ago?

Re: Oh no! Not again!
I started this thread at the same time Dwoodz was starting his. There's no need for two threads, so I'm calling this closed and putting in a redirect to the other thread. If one of the mods sees this, please merge the two threads together as best a you can.
