Overview
- The state’s July–September theme-park injury report lists seven Universal Orlando cases, including the fatality at Epic Universe.
- Under the FDACS agreement, major parks self-report incidents requiring at least 24 hours of hospitalization, and the public summaries provide limited detail without names or follow-up health updates.
- Universal says its review found Stardust Racers operated properly and procedures were followed, with findings observed by state officials and validated by the ride manufacturer and an independent engineering expert.
- Stardust Racers reopened on October 4 following testing, and the quarter shows no additional injuries on the coaster beyond the fatality, with two nonfatal June incidents previously noted.
- Other Universal entries this quarter include chest pain and a headache on the Incredible Hulk Coaster, an altered level of consciousness on Hagrid’s coaster, neck pain and motion sickness on Revenge of the Mummy, dizziness on the Hogwarts Express, and neck pain on Krakatau Aqua Coaster.
