    I'm sure a lawsuit for millions will take place ...

          4 year old should have never been on the ride in the first place.

            That is sad. It is a very intense ride but I don't think it is Disneys fault. My son was five when he rode it.

              The poor kids already had a prior medical condition, they are about to release the info here.

                That's sad. But they mention these old people in the article who had epilepsia and stuff, wtf are they thinking "Hey lets go into a ride that simulates going in to space"

                  Exactly, a 4 year old is still a baby.. big difference between 4 and 5 i think.

                          My question is, what fucking parents let their kids on rides that intense? Sorry but you couldn't pay me enough to get my kids on something like that.

                            I didn't like that ride, centrifugal force like that is fuckin brutal, i can understand the barf bags, I didn't feel too well myself going into it.

                              The ride barely moves at all. There is a screen in front of you that makes it seem like you are moving much more than you actually are. There is a good deal of pressure when you "launch" though.

                                    I havent been on that particular ride, but me & my kid have been on every ride at Disney in Anaheim except for Space Mountain. We also ride dirtbikes and race gokarts together, does that make me a bad parent?

                                        Wow...sad. Honestly I hope for the parent's sake they find out the kid just had some kind of medical issue and his death was not caused by the ride...that way they don't have to live with the knowledge that a day of fun turned into tragedy and question their choices for the rest of their lives.

                                          The Orlando thats in Florida, right?

                                            Soo True.. unfortunately the parents are going to question their choices regardless of and findings.

                                                  true. and there should be some warning signs before you enter like, 'could cause sickness'...'not advised to people with heart problem'...and the ride should be for 13 yrs.old and above...

                                                        No. What does going to ANY amusement park have to do with this? If I said "Hey I went to Six Flags and had a great time" WTF would that have to do with anything?

                                                          taking children on rides with lots of centrifugal force, lots of gforces, etc, is extremely dangerous. A child's resistance to such things are much lower, and their skeletal system is not completely developed, such rides can seriously injure a child, even if such injuries aren't apparent right away. I wouldn't state outright that you're a bad parent, but it's your choice. REally depends on how old your kids are, too.

                                                                  At the end of the ride when it came to a stop, the lady behind us started having a seizure as we were getting off. Not sure what happened to her after that.

                                                                        Would you consider that A LOT, considering how many tens of thousands if not more had rode that ride in that time span?

                                                                          The kid probably had something undisclosed and unknown, possibly a genetic heart issue, who knows what. Sad, but I'd be willing to bet he'd be one of those strange "Basketball deaths" ten years from now that you hear about, or some other physical activity.

                                                                                                The kid probably had something undisclosed and unknown, possibly a genetic heart issue, who knows what. Sad, but I'd be willing to bet he'd be one of those strange "Basketball deaths" ten years from now that you hear about, or some other physical activity.

                                                                                                Not very intense for an adult, perhaps, but for the fragile body of a 4 year old child? A lot would be "intense" to them that we wouldn't even register.
