I really dont understand things like this. I guess im not entirely in a position to really say how intense Mission Space actually is because ive never been on it. But I KNOW there are many more intense rides out there, especially rollercoasters, that nothing like this has ever happened on. Obviously wasnt a ride malfunction. Only explination is sometimes freak things do happen. I wouldnt expect it to close down for too long though, as soon as its inspected and found to be OK, it'll be back up.

EDIT: Looks like its allready back up. Go figure. Obviously, the ride is not at fault here.

thats sad, I heard about that on the news.

I was going to go to disney world this summer too. :(

I've been on that ride. I came out dizzy after it. They put a lot of pressure on your body. It was kind of annoying. It's sad that kid died though.

I thought Tower of Terror would be the ride that could kill someone :P

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

i heard on howard stern that the kid didn't even meet the height requirements for the ride... who let him in?

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

ToT got my stomach and intestines full of gas, and I'm not saying this to be funny. I couldn't walk, it hurt so much. I managed to pass it 3 hours later. 3 hours of walking in a crouched position...

And even though that kid died on the ride, I would still like to try it.

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

some people are just too fragile for rides like those.... especially people who aren't even supposed to be riding those rides... Height requirement is there for a reason.

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

:rofl:!!!! HAHAHA! man that post was funny!


Sony: i know :), i'm one lucky guy.

Story: that sucks for the family...best wishes to them.

and a ride that puts enough G-Forces to distort rider's faces?! i want to go on it!!!

The first time I rode Space Mountain, I rode with my mom, and she really squished me into the side well. My leg came out hurting a lot. If I remember correctly, this kid was sitting between two people - now if they were fat, I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't handle it. Poor kid.

Anyways, I think Space Mountain is closed in Disneyland for major rehauls. Maybe Disney World is due sometime.

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

Well that's a strange reaction to the ride. I didn't like the ride. I hate falling. :P
It was a nice sight at night though. lmao.

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

i was on ToT and i felt it kicked ass~...one of the best rides...im just curious y did you hurt i didnt feel a thing...well my butt slammed a little on the seat when u fall and land, thats it......is it due to the slamming of the seat protection on your....lap?..unstrategic spot for guys? ...funny...cousins didnt complain...or mayb they were just hiding it... the view from the top on contrary to the que waiting in line was amazing.

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

They let a 4 year old on the ride?


I find that actually amazing. They should know the risks in that. Old people and small children usually fall into the same catagory for suseptability, and old people were going to the hospital from time to time from it.

Re: Mission: space....disney world
 

Did someone say face distortion?





Thats 120Mph...somehow I doubt Mission space is near that intense.
