Boy
Dies After Riding Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
A
12-year-old boy died today after riding Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at
Disney-MGM Studios. Officials said, the boy was declared dead in route to
Celebration Hospital after the 11:30 a.m. incident. His name has not been
released. Disney World officials said they closed the attraction "pending an
investigation," but added that an "initial review of the attraction shows
the ride was operating normally". The indoor
coaster opened in 1999 and takes guests through a make-believe night in a
24-passenger stretch limo. The ride climbs to 85 feet and goes by Hollywood
landmarks on its way through five inversions.
