From the AP wire:

(June 26) - A rollercoaster at the Disneyland Resort Paris theme park was shut after a 14-year-old Spanish girl died on the ride.

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, Disneyland spokesman Pieter 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.

Prosecutors said later the girl's autopsy showed she did not seem to have died from trauma. Officials were investigating whether she had suffered from health problems before.

Boterman said checks on the ride had found that it was functioning normally. The ride reopened Tuesday afternoon after the report was issued.

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.

Still trying to find out what roller coaster they are talking about.....

Read somewhere that it was RockandRollerCoaster. This is always so sad.

Very sad news indeed. And yes it was Rock n Roller Coaster, the girl was from Spain.

As things stand there is no reason to think the attraction itself is to blame. It's more likely there was a medical cause..."

Sad to hear. Her family will be in our thoughts.
