But short of conducting echocardiograms on every child who wants to ride, says Dr. Arno Zaritsky, of the University of Florida College of Medicine in Gainesville, there is no way to know who has a hidden heart defect that might not withstand the ride's quick 0-60 mph acceleration, stomach-churning corkscrew turns...
