Well but when you consider just how many people visit Disney's parks every year, it comes as no surprise that a few people with unknown pre-existing conditions will wander onto some of these rides.

That must be shocking news for his family, my sincerest apologies and prayers are with them. I hope they recover fully and understand that it wasn't Disney, the ride or his fault.

It's such a shame to hear about another person dying so unexpectedly at such a family friendly place...

Just when you thought it was safe to go on an expidition to Everest. Well most likely this is another situation of a death not related to a roller coaster. While it is sad to know and read about these things, its just a reminder that roller coasters can and do kill.
Lots of deaths and accidents related to Disney this year.

Probably didnt have anything to do with the ride. This doesnt excactly make Disney's reputation any better, but if you look at how many people who dies at Disney and how many people who dies in their home, it doesnt look too bad for Disney afterall....

I feel very sorry for the family who had to experience the sudden death of a family member.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was just too much for the man. I mean, it says nothing about the physical condition he was in before riding. My mom is 46 and she was only able to ride it once because it was too much for her and she's in fairly good shape. He could have had a heart attack or something along that line.

It is safe to go on Expedition Everest, the ride was inspected like always and operating normally. It says nowhere in the article that the ride malfunctioned.

That explains why the ride was closed today when I wanted to go on it...

Okay, it's official, Walt Disney World's cursed. I mean, first someone dies on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, then someone dies on a Disney World bus, and now Expedition Everest. Me thinks there is a conspiracy going on at Disney World.

Anyone ever saw that one anime called "Death Note." It's about a kid who has a power to write someone's name down in a book and that person dies of a heart attack 40 seconds later. I think someone got something like that at Disney World. :lolr:

Call me an idiot, I don't care either way until Disney World has been excorised, I officially declare that:

Disneyland in CA >>>>>>>> Disney World in Orlando

Oh and...my respects are to Jeffrey Reed and his family. May he enjoy that great theme park in the sky.
