Boy who died after riding Disney's "Mission: Space" had heart condition
(Wednesday, November 16, 2005) - The 4-year-old boy who died after riding Disney World's "Mission: Space" ride in June had a pre-existing heart condition, according to his autopsy report. The report, released by the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office, concludes that the boy died as a result of the condition, which affected his heart's left ventricle. The boy's family was unaware of the boy's condition.
'Mission: Space' is a $100 million thrill ride that simulates a rocket launch. It is billed by Disney as the "ultimate interactive thrill-packed adventure [that] is as close as you can get to blasting off into space without leaving Earth." The park's website warns riders that they "should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure." Signs posted near the attraction post similar warnings, and advise guests to see the ride attendant for "further cautionary information."
