I'm just saying my own opinion and how I think people shouldn't just go to Disney because of some deaths that had nothing to do with the rides itself. In the end you make the decision..not me. I can say my opinion and you say yours. It's not that big of a deal to listen to other points of view.

I would still go to Disney in a heartbeat. Then again, I know Im healthy, so I would face no problem (unless you don't strap yourself in secure enough but thats a differant story).

I think that people should still give Disney a chance despite some deaths. I mean look at Six Flags Great America. We have like #3 on the safest parks in the world. We've had 3 deaths so far (and a few injurys) (I think it's 3. Or maybe 2), But we still go and have fun just like everyone else.

Anywhere you go, there is the potential risk of death. Just walking outside to get the mail has a death risk. But that doesn't stop us. An Amusment park is one of the safest places you can be. I mean I understand that no one wants to die and take the risk of dieing. But just because one person recently died doesn't mean it was the ride. The only way to be 100% sure whether or not you should ride is to get a physical and see if you are healthy enough to go on these rides.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

I can only think of two deaths - Raging Bull (1999) and Hurricane Bay (2005)

The death on Raging Bull occurred a few years ago on opening day I believe. A young girl sadly chocked on her gun. I don't think there was a death on Raging Bull in 1999, the year the ride opened. In fact, I *think* that the girl's death was the first and only death that has occurred <u>while riding on</u> a B&M coaster. No B&M coaster has killed anyone due to mechanical failure, poorly designed restraints, etc.

Actually, the death on raging bull was actually from heart failure. They thought it was from her choaking on her gum but then the autopsy showed she died from heart failure.

I was there that day. I was next in line. I saw her and pointed her out. I was scared.

Yes I know. She might have went better. She was in a weird position when I saw her. Her hands were up in a weird way. Her head back with her mouth open. At least thats how i remembered it.

I wonder what part of the ride she died on. More than likely on the banked turn coming out of the 3rd hill

Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

I believe it was about the 4th row, on the red train. I'm not sure about the seat or row but I know it was on the red train.
