Injury Report for Universal Orlando: Second Quarter 2025 Shows Mix of Minor Medical Incidents Across Parks

The Florida Department of Agriculture has released its MOU Exempt Facilities Report for Q2 2025, and Universal Orlando Resort logged six guest incidents that required hospital transport between April and June. While none of these appear to involve major trauma, they serve as a reminder that even in a land of superheroes and dragons, it’s important to keep an eye on your health.

Here’s a rundown of the Universal Orlando-related incidents:

• April 26, 2025 – One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish (Islands of Adventure): A 60-year-old woman reported wrist pain while riding this kid-friendly spinner. It’s usually a splashy and silly time, but even the gentler attractions can lead to unexpected discomfort.
• May 5, 2025 – Hiccup’s Wing Gliders (Epic Universe): A 32-year-old man experienced chest pain while on this thrilling new addition in How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk. As one of Epic Universe’s signature family thrill rides, it’s a reminder that flying with dragons isn’t for the faint of heart—literally.
• May 25, 2025 – Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon (Universal Studios Florida): A 72-year-old woman experienced weakness and dizziness during this simulator-based ride. The mix of motion and 3D visuals can sometimes be overwhelming, especially in the Florida heat.
• June 16, 2025 – The Incredible Hulk Coaster (Islands of Adventure): A 77-year-old man experienced chest pain after riding one of the park’s most intense roller coasters. With its launch lift hill and wild inversions, this ride packs a serious adrenaline punch.
• June 22, 2025 – Stardust Racers (Epic Universe): A 63-year-old man with a pre-existing condition experienced dizziness and an altered state of consciousness during this dual-launch coaster. This is one of Epic Universe’s headliners, and clearly, it’s not holding back.
• June 24, 2025 – Carou-Seuss-el & Stardust Racers (Islands of Adventure & Epic Universe): Two separate incidents: a 22-year-old woman experienced an altered level of consciousness on Carou-Seuss-el, and a 47-year-old woman reported visual disturbances and numbness (also with a pre-existing condition) on Stardust Racers.

These incidents are self-reported by Universal and only involve situations where a guest was transported to a hospital. Due to privacy laws, the Florida Department of Agriculture does not receive updates on guest conditions or outcomes.

Universal Orlando—especially now with Epic Universe preparing for its grand opening in 2025—hosts tens of thousands of guests daily. Incidents like these are relatively rare, but they remind us all to be cautious, aware of our personal health, and mindful of the physical intensity of certain rides.

If you’re ever unsure, don’t be afraid to speak with a Team Member, check health advisories posted at each attraction, or take a break from the thrills. Your fun should never come at the expense of your well-being.
