We have a follow up on the story we brought to everyone just yesterday regarding the German woman that died on Tuesday after riding Missions:Space at Epcot Center. Officials have now reopened the attraction, after it was found that there were no malfunctions in the ride. Disney officials have stated that it is quite possible that the lady, who still has not been identified via the families request, suffered from high blood pressure. Missions: Space does give strong warnings regarding the intensity of the attraction before you board, and in fact, it is so intense that there are motion sickness bags in front of each seat on the attraction, which is said to give you the closest feeling of being in real outer space, including weightlesness and high positive G-forces on your body. DETAILS.

Is it strange that I want to ride this more than ever now after that report?

They seem to reopen this ride very quickly after both of these instances. I am not so sure I agree with those decisions. I think this ride needs to be looked into more.
