Overview

• Wait times reached about two hours on the coaster’s first full day back in service after a Saturday night reopening.
• Universal put an updated Safety and Accessibility Guide into effect on October 4 with stricter rider eligibility warnings and a new red do-not-ride symbol.
• The guide now says most riders must independently maintain an upright position with the ability to brace the torso, neck, and head during sudden movements.
• A new classification requires some guests using mobility devices to be able to walk independently on certain attractions, including Stardust Racers.
• Universal says its internal review found the ride operating as intended, with the state, the ride manufacturer, and a third-party coaster expert supporting those findings, while the family’s attorney Ben Crump plans a Monday news conference opposing the reopening.
