Hmm. Maybe it's a special DAK map they gave me or something :p:

This from Local6.com:
A 44-year-old man who was found unresponsive Tuesday on a roller coaster at Walt Disney World's Animal Kingdom died of natural causes, according to the medical examiner who performed an autopsy on the man's body. Jeffery Reeb, of Navarre, Fla., died from dilated cardiomyopathy, an abnormality of the heart muscle that causes the heart to enlarge and dilate, and no evidence of injury was discovered, the medical examiner said. Reeb had a known history of cardiac arrhythmias, officials said.

Reeb was discovered unresponsive in the unloading area of Expedition Everest, a thrill ride that reaches speeds of 50 mph and features an 80-foot drop, officials said. Reeb was transported to Celebration Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Orange County sheriff's investigators said that Reeb appeared to be conscious about 50 seconds before the conclusion of the ride because his photograph was taken as the coaster progressed toward the unloading area. The ride was inspected and was found to be operating properly. The ride was closed following the incident but reopened on Wednesday. "We offer the family our deepest sympathies and will provide assistance to them during this difficult time," Disney representative Andrea Finger said.
