If you’ve spent time at Universal Studios Florida, there’s a good chance you’ve ridden at least one of the two attractions named in the state’s latest round of guest injury filings. One is a two-decade park staple; the other no longer operates.
Florida releases these reports every quarter, and the newest edition, updated October 15, 2026, details incidents from July to September 2026. The state’s major theme parks report serious guest injuries themselves under a memorandum of understanding (MOU), an arrangement that spares them from routine state ride inspections.
Two Cases at Universal
A 61-year-old man reported abdominal pain on July 6 after riding Fast & Furious – Supercharged, with the report listing a pre-existing condition in his case. On August 29, a 24-year-old woman reported abdominal pain after riding Revenge of the Mummy.
The report makes no determination about whether the rides themselves played a role, and many of these filings stem from guests’ underlying health conditions rather than any ride malfunction.
About Those Attractions
Revenge of the Mummy opened in 2004 and remains one of Universal Studios Florida’s best-known thrill rides. The indoor coaster delivers high-speed launches, sudden drops, a section traveled backward, and long stretches of darkness. A major refurbishment brought updated scenes and effects before its 2022 reopening.
Fast & Furious – Supercharged had a shorter run. It arrived in 2018 in the park’s San Francisco area, replacing Disaster!, and sent riders aboard a party bus that wove through physical sets and giant projection screens. Universal permanently closed it in August 2026, and Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is planned for the former home of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, which has also closed.
Disney Topped the List
Walt Disney World reported more incidents than Universal this quarter, with four in total. On July 11, a 25-year-old woman injured her right leg on Humunga Kowabunga at Typhoon Lagoon. A 42-year-old man reported dizziness and eye pain after riding Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on September 1. On September 23, a 44-year-old man vomited after Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, and two days later, a 45-year-old man had a seizure after stepping off Pirates of the Caribbean.
SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Legoland Florida reported none.
Looking Back at Spring
Universal’s previous quarter, spanning April through June 2026, included four reports. Jurassic World VelociCoaster, the launched coaster that opened at Islands of Adventure in 2021 and is known for high speeds and multiple inversions, appeared twice: a 17-year-old girl lost consciousness on May 3, and a 53-year-old man reported weakness and shortness of breath on May 25, attributed to a pre-existing condition.
A 54-year-old woman had chest pain on TeAwa The Fearless River at Volcano Bay on May 17, and on June 17, a 20-year-old woman reported weakness and lightheadedness on Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, which debuted with Epic Universe in May 2025.
