ORLANDO, Fla., March 16 (UPI) -- A visitor died of an apparent heart attack after collapsing at Walt Disney World's Blizzard Beach water park in Florida.
A fire department official said the man told his wife he wasn't feeling well while climbing the stairs of the Downhill Double Dipper water ride. When he climbed back down, he fell and went into cardiac arrest, the Orlando Sentinel reported.

The man was pronounced dead at nearby Florida Hospital Celebration Health.
Disney spokeswoman Jacquee Polak said the man had a pre-existing heart condition. The company's Web site says riders on the Double Dipper can "blast down the slopes" at 25 mph in side-by-side speed slides, the newspaper said.
