Disney's America was supposed to have a film or presentation that celebrated immigration that would have been housed in a recreation of Ellis Island. That morphed into Golden Dreams and the Palace of Fine Arts in DCA. DA was going to have a farm area, just like the Bountiful Valley Farm at DCA. It was also going to have a section with factories or workplaces. The above mentioned roller coaster was going to be part of that - it was a roller coaster through a steel mill. It was also going to have an amusement pier. Disney also had an amusement pier planned for the Port Disney project in Long Beach. DA also had Liberty Field, a recreation of an old airfield that I think was going to be themed to WW2, but it's the ancestor of Condor Flats. And there was going to be a Lewis & Clark expedition raft ride, similar to Grizzly Peak. DCA is pretty much DA, with the addition of the Hollywood Pictures Backlot.

Disney has by far the most attendance of any theme park chain in the country. 7 people died on Disney attractions in the last year - but that's out of 60-70 million people who went to Disney parks. On top of that, figure in the shock value that the media is going to get from mentioning a death on a Disney ride. If the ride itself was at fault - like the BTMRR accident in Disneyland or the recent Screamin' collision - that's different. But when one or two people out of the hundreds of thousands or millions that have ridden a particular attraction dies due to a medical condition they shouldn't be trying to slam Disney for it. First post from a long time lurker, btw. EDIT: I see robgraves already covered this.... stupid people wanting me to work
