Following Thursday's death in Orlando of a 12-year-old boy who collapsed after riding Walt Disney World's Rock 'N' Roller Coaster, the answer may finally be yes. In a scenario that will raise a cold sweat among epinephrine junkies who live for escalations in the theme-park roller coaster arms race, industry insiders are starting to predict that fear will not be the driving factor in the next generation of rides...

And the gradual revelations of the child's superhuman strength, the foster parents' exhortation that he "must use it to assist humanity," the youth's adoption of a dual identity--the mild-mannered, blue-suited newspaper reporter, Clark Kent, and the red-caped, blue-haired Superman, the man of steel ...
