Helaas is er weer iemand overleden in een park van Disney.
Toch jammer dat ze zo in het nieuws komen, zeker als ze er niks aan kunnen doen :(:!:

Disney visitor dies after collapsing at Disney water park

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man with heart problems visiting Walt Disney World's Blizzard Beach water park collapsed and later died at a hospital, officials said.
The man began climbing the stairs of a water ride Thursday afternoon but then told his wife he wasn't feeling well, Reedy Creek Fire Department Deputy Chief Bo Jones said. The man turned around and walked back down the stairs.
When he got to the bottom, he fell and went into cardiac arrest, Jones said. The man, who was not identified, was later pronounced dead at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, Jones said.
The man's family notified the company that he had died and said the man had a pre-existing heart condition, Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Polak said.
The man and his family were trying to go on the Downhill Double Dipper water slide at Blizzard Beach, Polak said.
The Walt Disney World Web site classifies the slide as a "Big Thrills" attraction and says visitors can go up to 25 miles per hour in side-by-side speed slides.
The death is the 10th involving Disney World rides and water-park attractions since late 2004. Many have been attributed to health problems.
