He barely made the hight requirement, apparantly, but it looks like they might have to raise it, or something, but here's the article off of CNN news.

they shouldn't blame the ride nor disney, the ride has only 2g's and all the rides are on own risk....

Freak accident, but Disney said that they will compensate the family for thier loss, so we should applaud Disney for not being corprate assholes.

Its also a family environment so they cant have the image of being rude.

true true, why was a four year old on Mission Space anyway, i guess he must be tall because my little brother is 9 and this is the first year he can ride anything over 54" at six flags so I dont know. What is the hieght requirement for mission space anyway?

44"

ya i was on mission space the last day i was there but mission space is not that bad i mean it dosent pull that many Gs

It is only supposed to pull 2 G's, so it cant be that bad. Hopefully there will be an investigation and we will know exactly what happened.

Maybe he was chewing gum or something, or he had a heart problem. That is what it seems happened to me.

we still don't know how he died.

Unlike Hyyyper. Dude, i know you're an enthusiast, but that kid died. No reason to show no respect whatsoever for the family. Ok, so it was a freak accident, but if someone in your family died, you'd want to blame someone.
