'Mission:Space' subjects riders to 2 G's

Thursday, April 13, 2006; Posted: 10:08 a.m. EDT (14:08 GMT)

The 49-year-old woman became ill after riding "Mission: Space" on Tuesday. She was taken to a hospital, and died a day later, park spokeswoman Kim Prunty said in a statement.

No more information on the woman was available Wednesday, Prunty said. Nor was the cause of death immediately known. (Watch what killed a child on the same ride earlier this year -- 1:22)

The ride was closed Wednesday, but reopened Thursday, a statement from the theme park said.

"Walt Disney World engineers and ride system experts completed a thorough inspection of the attraction overnight and found it to be operating properly," Prunty said in the statement. "A representative from the state Bureau of Fair Rides Inspection monitored the ride inspection and testing."

Disney officials told state inspectors Wednesday that the woman felt dizzy and nauseated after the ride and may have had high blood pressure and other health problems, said Terence McElroy, a spokesman for the department that oversees the ride-monitoring agency.

The $100 million ride, one of Disney World's most popular, was also closed in June after the death of a 4-year-old boy who passed out while aboard.

An autopsy concluded he died of a heart condition that a medical examiner said can cause sudden death in stressful situations.

The ride reopened after company engineers concluded it was operating normally.

"Mission: Space" spins riders in a centrifuge that subjects them to twice the normal force of gravity. Some riders have been taken to the hospital with chest pain.

I can't imagine why any guy would put a ring through their lip.

It tickles the ornaments when they are down there on their "friend".

A little kid died on it last year. I went to DW with my girlfriend last fall and we rode "Mission Space". I consider myself to be a somewhat healthy 27 year old, but that thing can be pretty tough on you. The G-forces are pretty intense and I got a slight headache after riding it. But, you know - good times.

Your girl wants you to do something that makes you look like a clown, and you're up for it? What if she's turned one by taking a strap on and...you know the rest. Are you game? Sounds like it's time for a new girlfriend. One who doesn't think for you.

The ride is not bad. The liftoff is pretty neat, it's a good feeling.

Thanks for the pics Ratboy...they dont have that over here in Disneyland I dont think...then again I havent gone to Disneyland since 98...Magic Mountain is alot closer and has wayyy better rides...There is another coaster coming out actually in a few months...called Tatsu...

"Aboard the wings of TATSU, experience flight at speeds in excess of 62 miles-per-hour through a series of “butterflies-in-your-stomach” plunges, huge sweeping spirals, stomach wrenching loops and sharp dives, high speed banked curves deliberately designed to enhance the ultimate sensation of flight. With more than 3,602 feet of blazing red, orange and yellow twisted steel track barely visible intertwined through the mountainside, TATSU'S intense three-and-a-half minute flight faces a dramatic 263-foot change in elevation from its highest peak to inches off the ground and spans four separate areas of the Park. "

Tatsu specs and video...
