A British teenager suffered cardiac arrest after riding the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at the Disney-MGM Studios on Tuesday, according to news reports.

16 year old Leanne Deacon is in critical condition at Florida Hospital Orlando. A sheriff's office report says Deacon and her mother had visited the park six times in the past week. The girl's mother reported they rode the Tower of Terror "many times" without incident. Deacon's mother also told investigators the girl "had been complaining of headaches and leg cramps for several days," according to the sheriff's report.


Overseen by an inspector from the Florida Department of Agriculture Bureau of Fair Rides Inspection, engineers and ride system experts inspected the attraction overnight Tuesday and found no problems with the ride. State agency spokesman Terry McElroy said agency employees worked with Disney's engineers until nearly 4 a.m. today checking the ride. "Disney said it was operating normally and our folks concurred. We were satisfied with the safety procedures and the mechanical soundness of the ride," McElroy said.

The attraction reopened today.
