I know

She's meant to have a medical condition - probably either to do with the heart or to do with the head

Poor thing

Update 3:31 p.m. The Associated Press reports that the teen's name is Leanne Deacon.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A British teen, 16, is at Celebration Hospital in Kissimmee after falling ill at the Twlight Zone Tower of Terror ride at Disney-MGM Studios, said Orange County Sheriff's office spokesman Jim Solomons.

The teen, whose identity has yet to be released, was exiting the ride with her mother at 9:50 a.m. today when she complained she was feeling unwell. Disney employees approached the girl and called paramedics because she needed medical attention, Solomons said. Paramedics arrived at 9:57 a.m. to transport her to the hospital.

The teen lost consciousness and heart function, but medical personnel revived her, Solomons said. She is being evaluated for a prior medical condition, and the ride is being tested for malfunctions. Visitors who ask if the ride is open are told it is closed because of "technical difficulties."
