disneygurlz2s Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 PARIS, France (AP) -- French police are investigating the death of a 14-year-old Spanish girl who lost consciousness while riding a roller coaster at Disneyland Paris, park officials say. The cause of the girl's death remained unclear. A preliminary inspection of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster ride found no malfunctions with the machinery, Disneyland spokesman Pieter Boterman said Tuesday. The girl boarded the ride Monday at the theme park in Marne-la-Vallee east of the French capital, and when the ride stopped, her friends found her unconscious, Boterman said. Medical teams at the theme park tried to revive her, but by the time the ambulance arrived, the girl had died, he said. Police opened an investigation, and an autopsy was planned for Tuesday, he said. Disneyland authorities immediately shut down the ride, and it remained closed Tuesday. Boterman said the park was waiting to hear the cause of the girl's death before determining whether to reopen it. The ride is at Walt Disney Studios Park, one of two theme parks at Disneyland Resort Paris. The complex, which opened in 1992, was formerly called Euro Disney. Wasn't it almost EXACTLY a year ago that this EXACT thing happened at MGM? Ugh. I am actually kind of surprised this hasn't gotten more media here in the states as it has. I actually heard about it on a local radio station this morning on my way to work. Surprised that I had to go looking for it on CNN. Shari
