Viral TikTok Shows Neurodivergent Rider Briefly Blacking Out on Universal’s Hulk Coaster

Experts say the clip likely shows a brief G‑force blackout, raising attention to Florida rules that place risk assessment on riders.

Overview

  • A TikTok posted by user @gurt677 shows a rider going limp during the Incredible Hulk Coaster launch at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
  • The video, uploaded about a week ago, has surpassed one million views with roughly 124,000 likes and more than 43,000 shares.
  • The poster says the rider is an experienced coaster fan who quickly regained consciousness and has ridden other intense attractions.
  • Coverage explains the coaster’s rapid 0–40 mph launch, speeds near 67 mph, and up to about 4 Gs, noting the episode is consistent with a brief G‑LOC.
