Local perspective:

In September 2025, Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, 32, became unresponsive on Stardust Racers, an intense duel-racing coaster at Epic Universe, and died at the hospital. The Medical Examiner said Zavala, who had a congenital spinal issue and used a wheelchair, died from multiple blunt force impact injuries. Zavala's family recently settled with Universal, though details were not released.

Universal said its investigations revealed that Stardust Racers operated normally – and that its employees followed proper protocol throughout the situation. Stardust Racers briefly closed after Zavala's death, and reopened weeks later.

Following that, a couple of lawsuits have been filed against Universal by people who claim they were injured on Stardust Racers. At least one of those lawsuits ended in a settlement.
