Spanish Teenager Dies While Riding 'Rock 'N' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith' - June 29, 2007

BBC News reports that French police are investigating the mysterious death of a 14-year-old girl who lost consciousness earlier in the week while riding on Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith (video) at Disneyland Paris.

The Spanish teenager’s friends noticed she was unconscious when the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster ride had stopped. Medical teams at the theme park tried to revive her but by the time an ambulance arrived, the girl had died.

A preliminary inspection of the roller coaster found no machinery malfunction, but the ride remains closed. Disneyland spokesman Pieter Boterman said the ride would not reopen until the cause of the girl's death was determined.

The attraction first opened at Disney-MGM Studios Florida (Walt Disney World) in July 1999 and this near-identical design at Walt Disney Studios Park (Paris) in March 2002, featuring a duplicated ride layout with an alternate theme applied on top.

A 12-year-old boy died in June 2006 after riding Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida. It was subsequently determined that had a congenital heart defect, and an inspection of the ride found no mechanical problems.

The boy from Fort Campbell, Tennessee, collapsed on June 29, 2006 during a ride on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with his 7-year-old brother, mother and father.

The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is an enclosed, 82-second ride with a roll-over corkscrew feature accompanied by a blasting AEROSMITH soundtrack. It is presented as a high-speed journey down a mythical Los Angeles freeway.

Disney's web site says coaster riders will "zoom from 0-60 mph with the force of a supersonic F-14, take in high-speed loops and turns synchronized ... and zip through Tinseltown in the biggest, loudest limo you've ever seen."

	I've been on that before, it's a good ride. It's not Disney's fault, it's not like the coaster malfunctioned.

	I'm sure they'll find that this unfortunate kid had something wrong with her that caused her demise. We ride the RnRC at least 10 times a year and we're all good. It's a cool coaster, too bad it has lame ass Aerosmith as the feature.

	They're dying because Rock&Roll is evil... all of you are sinners!

	This ride isn't that fast or scary. It's just an average coaster. The odds of two people dying on it inside a 1 year span have to be astronomical. Very sad.

	are cowards. We would all be speaking German if we left things up to them. That ride stinks by the way.

	They'll probably find out she had a condition that you're not supposed to ride with, thats what happened last time someone died at the park.

	I almost Died Listning to "Big Ones". I reached my out in a drunked Haze and grabed 'what I thought' was AC/DC's Let There Be Rock. I put the CD in, put my headphones on, and hit play. I was relaxed and expecting to her the opening chords of "Go Down" when instead, like a punt in the nuts I was greeted by "Walk On Water". I instantly rolled off my beanbag chair and on to the floor and started having seizure like convultions. The papamedic's arrived on the scene and they saw the head phones, the empty beer Bottles and a copy of "Big Ones" sitting next to me. They instantly thought "Suicide"! They hit me with the heart defibrillator and upon the 3rd Zap, thankfully, I came back around. I Swear Though... I Saw the Light! True Story.
