The girl was found unconscious after riding the Rock n' Roller Coaster at the French theme park. Park employees attempted to revive the girl, but she was declared dead when an ambulance arrived.
French police are investigating and the ride remains closed.
The accident appears similar to an incident one year ago almost to the day on the Rock n' Roller Coaster at Disney-MGM Studios at Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Then, a 12-year-old boy was declared dead after being found unconscious on the ride. The boy was later found to have a congenital heart defect.
It is hard sometimes to get caught up in the ridiculousness of the investigations and allegations about safety and forget that some poor family went on a dream vacation and lost a child on an attraction. I guess people even die at the happiest place on earth...

Unless someone got lose and hit the girl during the ride, I bet she had some kind of pre-existing condition.
Disney parks and rides seem to attract so many deaths from kids with illnesses... Maybe they should stop sending sick kids there?
