dont worry about it at all. Its not disney's fault, its not the rides fault, its not the girls fault. Its nobodys fault. Something like this happened a few years ago at Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure, a teen girl went on the Incredible Hulk roller coaster and had a brain anurism. The Tower of Terror will deffinetly be open and they wont shut it down for good, so dont you worry..i also love this ride...jeez dont tell micah (HTH) about this

Disney reopens Tower of Terror after girl's collapse

Walt Disney World reopened the Tower of Terror ride at Disney-MGM studios this morning, one day after a British teenager suffered cardiac arrest following a visit to the attraction.

Disney said engineers and ride system experts completed an inspection overnight, under monitoring by an inspector from the Florida Department of Agriculture Bureau of Fair Rides and Exhibitions and found it to be operating properly.

In addition, Disney said in a statement, The Orange County Sheriff's Office also reviewed the incident and found no indication of a ride malfunction.

The teenager, Leanne Deacon, 16, remains in critical condition at Florida Hospital Orlando this morning. Deacon exited the thrill ride at 9:50 a.m. yesterday, shaking and light-headed, and soon lost consciousness. By the time she arrived in an ambulance at Florida Hospital Celebration Health, her heart had stopped beating, Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said.

At the Tower of Terror attraction this morning, there were long lines of people waiting to ride.

"It's awesome. I would ride it again," said Derenda Davilla, a chaperone for a Lubbock, Texas church group, who hadn't heard about yesterday's incident.

"It's not too scary. It's a fun ride," said Nick Watts, 41, another chaperone. The group of 13 included teens from 13-18 years old in age.

Yeah I mean, it wouldn't make scence for a kid to die on Mission: Space, and have that keep going, and then shut down TOT when someone just has some heart problems on that, but lives.

Late.
