Walt Disney World will offer a tamer version of the attraction thrill ride Mission Space the company said Tuesday, less than three weeks after a woman became ill on the ride and later died.

The $100 million Epcot attraction simulates a mock spaceflight to Mars and spins riders in a centrifuge that subjects them to twice the normal force of gravity. The alternative version is slated to start this summer and will run alongside the original ride.

The popular Mission Space attraction is actually four rides with separate programmable simulators, Disney spokeswoman Kim Prunty said. Attraction engineers will simply shut off the spinning centrifuge for the new version.
