Disney’s Terrifying Tower of Terror Gets Sued
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that Leanne Deacon is suing Disney for at least $15,000. She claims that a heart attack/stroke that she suffered in 2005 occured after riding the Tower of Terror and were caused by the ride. During her 2005 trip, she rode it several times until, after one trip, she had a brain hemorrhage and her heart stopped. In her suit, she accuses Disney of negligence in ride design/operation and failing to “adequately” warn people of the risks and the lack of “adequate” safety restraints. The suit also refers to Disney as a “common carrier” (which is legal-speak which causes theme-park companies to be held to tougher standards in court).
After the incident, Disney inspected the ride and determined the Tower was operating correctly.
Netcot previously reported that Disney was sued by a woman who claimed that the attraction helped heal her after surgery.
You have GOT to be kidding me! The ride has several warnings placed on it and even if it didn’t, you can see the thing plummeting from the 13th floor from outside…where’s the mystery?! Oh please let the judge throw this out and order the bailiff to slap her…one time… good and fast!
