News: The Least Litigious Place On Earth
ORLANDO - Sad things are not supposed to happen during The Happiest Celebration on Earth. But for the fourth time this summer, the Walt Disney Co. - amid an 18-month birthday party for its first theme park, Disneyland - is dealing with sad news.
Though an autopsy revealed that the 12-year-old girl who collapsed this month at Typhoon Lagoon water park suffered no physical trauma, autopsy and death are not words that any attraction or theme park, let alone one as well-known as Disney, wants to be associated with.
This is the second reported death of a child at Walt Disney World this summer. A teen, who collapsed after riding the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride last month, remains in critical condition at Florida Hospital Orlando.
And just a week ago, 15 guests were injured at Disney's California Adventure when a roller coaster they were in was hit from behind by a second coaster.
In a statement released today, Walt Disney World announced they are updating and renaming several theme park attractions as a part of a resort-wide safety and image renovation. Debuting this summer:
