Looks like the attraction found its 1000th happy haunt.

About William Castle, producer of black and white horror films stunts:
“For certain showings, particularly for Macabre and The Tingler (1959), Castle hired fake nurses to be stationed in the lobby and had ambulances parked outside the theaters.
The goal of these stunts was to create genuine buzz and excitement around his films by hinting that an audience member might be literally scared to death.
Macabre (1958): This film was one of the earliest examples of these tactics, where patrons received a $1,000 life insurance policy from Lloyd’s of London in case they died of fright.
House on Haunted Hill (1959): This film also used theatrical gimmicks, though the most famous stunt for House on Haunted Hill was a plastic skeleton that flew over the audience during the film.
I think when Haunted Mansion first opened someone died on it and Disney tuned it down. I’ve gone on it maybe half a dozen times back in the day and it’s just a fun ride. The woman probably had a medical issue of some kind.
And here come the lawsuits from her family.
“Disney frightened her to death...”
I fail to see what this has to do with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The fact that the author of this article tried to relate this death to that of Charlie Kirk is just bizarre.
Back in the dark ages, I went to visit my grandparents in southern CA. They took me to Disneyland. The Haunted Mansion ride had just opened. We went on that. It was fairly tame, and did not scare my seven year old self. Grandma, who would not take me on the Matterhorn ride, saw no problem with the Haunted Mansion ride.
The TL;DR version of this post is that the woman had preexisting medical conditions.

Charlie Kirk was not a “right-wing” activist.
He was a conservative. “Right-wing” is a pejorative term.
Did the author need so many words before uploading the article? It starts out with one subject and ends with an entirely different one.
Poor woman, hopefully she’s in Heaven.
Aren’t there a lot of strobe lights on that ride? Maybe she had a seizure
Geez, the writer transitioned rom a cut and dried heart attack story into a full blown Jimmy Kimmel story.
Article morphs from death of woman on amusement park ride to Charlie Kirk and Trump......LOL!
meh... people die all the time.
Oh, no! Now it IS haunted.
