Visitor at Amusement Park Rides Roller Coaster Immediately Following His Death

In a tragic turn of events, a fatal accident occurred on September 17, 2022, at the Stardust Racers roller coaster in the Epic Universe theme park in Florida. The victim, a man in his thirties, passed away due to blunt injuries, according to the autopsy report.

The incident has sparked questions about safety at the Epic Universe, a 300-hectare theme park that is part of the Universal Orlando Resort. The park, one of the most expensive leisure industry projects with construction costs estimated at around six billion dollars, features attractions centered around Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World.

The Stardust Racers roller coaster, known for reaching speeds of up to 100 kilometers per hour, remains closed due to the ongoing investigations. Authorities are investigating whether safety issues or other factors may have contributed to the incident.

Universal Orlando Resort is cooperating with the investigations, which are being conducted by the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Florida, with support from the resort. The Chief Medical Examiner of Orange/Osceola County is involved in the autopsy and classification of the death as an accident.

The cause of the accident on the Stardust Racers roller coaster is currently unknown. No information is provided about any safety measures or regulations that may have been violated. A spokesperson for Universal Orlando Resort expressed deep sadness over the tragic event.

Visitors from around the world are awaiting the results of the investigations. The Epic Universe theme park, which opened in May 2022, is one of the most anticipated additions to the Universal Orlando Resort. Despite the unfortunate incident, the park continues to offer a variety of exciting attractions for its guests.

The investigations into the cause of the accident are ongoing, with the location and cause of the blunt injuries still under investigation. The Orange County Sheriff's Office and Universal Orlando Resort are working together to ensure the safety of all guests at the Epic Universe theme park.
