I herd about a 12 year old boy who died from the Rockin' Roller Coaster in MGM Studios, FL. Apparently he rode the ride, but came back on the other end dead. Is this true? Do you know of a site that has something about it? Thanks!

Yes, it's a true story, but not the fault of the ride or Disney.
------12 year old boy rode the rollercoaster, and he had a congenital heart defect. He was alive when he got to the end of the ride, and his dad pulled him off and started cpr. He died later on.
The ride had nothing to do with the death. Except for the fact that he should not have been on it. The rides clearly state that persons with heart conditions should not ride them. If the parents had known of his heart condition the child either would never have been on that ride or it would be serious negligence of the parents. Neither knew of his problem and it's a sad, but true, thing.
Try your local news or Google it if you wish for more information.

The truth...... A 12 year old boy rode the rollercoaster, and he had a congenital heart defect. He was alive when he got to the end of the ride, and his dad pulled him off and started cpr. He died later on.

Any way the ride was checked out and cleared! You could probably check out any of our local new sites abc, cbs or nbc.
