Universal Orlando Injury Report Highlights Multiple Incidents Across Attractions in Early 2026
The latest quarterly report from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services offers a closer look at medical incidents reported across Universal Orlando Resort during the first three months of 2026, and this time, there is quite a bit to unpack.

The report tracks incidents that required at least 24 hours of hospitalization and includes only basic details such as age, gender, location, and symptoms. It is important to remember that these cases are not necessarily caused by the attractions themselves, and many involve pre-existing medical conditions.
One of the most notable trends this quarter involves multiple incidents aboard the Hogwarts Express, the train connecting Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. On January 23, a 34-year-old male experienced a seizure while on board. Later, on February 28, a 58-year-old male with a pre-existing condition reported chest pressure. A similar case occurred on March 9, when a 66-year-old female, also with a pre-existing condition, experienced chest pressure during the journey. While the attraction itself is considered low-intensity, these repeated entries stand out in the report.
February 4 saw two separate incidents involving stroke-like symptoms at different parks. A 61-year-old male experienced symptoms while at Jurassic World VelociCoaster, one of the resort’s most intense thrill rides. On that same day, a 58-year-old female with a pre-existing condition reported similar symptoms at Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon, a simulator-style attraction that is generally considered more moderate in intensity.
Water park guests were also included in the report. On February 14, a 7-year-old female at Tot Tiki Reef was reported to have experienced “leg swelling/deformity,” though no further details were provided.
Epic Universe also made its way into the report, with a February 24 incident involving a 39-year-old male who experienced stroke symptoms at Donkey Kong Mine-Cart Madness, one of the park’s headline attractions.
Rounding out the list, a 60-year-old male with a pre-existing condition experienced syncope, or fainting, on March 19 while riding Fast & Furious: Supercharged.

While the number of entries may seem notable at first glance, context is key. Universal Orlando welcomes millions of guests each quarter, and these reports only capture incidents requiring extended hospitalization. Many of the cases also involve underlying health conditions, which can play a significant role in medical events during a park visit.
Still, the report provides a rare, behind-the-scenes look at how guest health incidents are tracked across attractions, from high-speed coasters to slow-moving train rides, and even splash zones.
