Florida’s summer ride injury report lists 6 Disney and Universal cases

Florida’s July-to-September report lists four Walt Disney World incidents and two at Universal Orlando, including the last one ever reported on Fast and Furious: Supercharged.

Florida’s newest theme park injury report is out, and it’s a short one for the big Orlando parks.

The report covers July through September 2026. It lists four incidents at Walt Disney World and two at Universal Orlando, WDW News Today reported on Friday, Oct. 16.

Major Florida theme parks have to report guest injuries to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which publishes the incidents every quarter.

The report doesn’t include details about the guests’ conditions beyond a short description, WDWNT noted.

Here’s a full ride-through of the new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster from WDW News Today:

Which Disney World rides were on the injury report?

Four, according to WDW News Today:

• Humunga Kowabunga at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon: a 25-year-old woman injured her right leg on July 11

• Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios: a 42-year-old man had dizziness and eye pain on Sept. 1

• Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom: a 44-year-old man vomited after riding on Sept. 23

• Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom: a 45-year-old man had a seizure while exiting on Sept. 25

What is Humunga Kowabunga?

It’s a trio of 214-foot enclosed body slides at Typhoon Lagoon, WDWNT said. It’s one of the most intense slides at Disney’s water parks, and it’s been part of Typhoon Lagoon since the park opened in 1989.

When did the new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster open?

In May. The Muppets version replaced the old Aerosmith theme at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, WDWNT noted. The coaster first opened in 1999, and it still has the same fast launch and inversions in the dark.

Dizziness after a high-speed coaster with inversions isn’t unusual, but it still has to go on the report.

Which Universal Orlando rides were on the injury report?

Two, WDWNT reported:

• Fast and Furious: Supercharged: a 61-year-old man had abdominal pain on July 6, which was attributed to a pre-existing condition

• Revenge of the Mummy: a 24-year-old woman had abdominal pain on Aug. 29

Fast and Furious: Supercharged closed for good about a month after that July incident. So this is the last injury or illness ever reported on the ride, according to WDWNT.

Is Tiana’s Bayou Adventure closing?

For a while. The water ride is closing for refurbishment next month, WDWNT said. As we reported earlier, it’s down from Nov. 2 until Dec. 18.

Why do Florida theme parks report injuries?

The big parks report injuries and illnesses that need a hospital stay of at least 24 hours, Spectrum News 13 has explained. They self-report to stay exempt from state inspections, and the state releases the list every three months.

That’s why the report looks so short compared to the millions of people who ride every quarter.

How long had Fast and Furious: Supercharged been open?

It opened at Universal Studios Florida in 2018 and became one of the most mocked rides in Orlando. Fans picked apart its long queue videos and short ride, and the “infamous” label from WDWNT is about as polite as it got.

Its closing in August means its last line on these reports is a case of abdominal pain tied to a pre-existing condition.

What were the other rides on the report?

Revenge of the Mummy, the indoor coaster at Universal Studios Florida, has been running since 2004. Pirates of the Caribbean has sailed at Magic Kingdom since 1973.

Are Disney World and Universal rides safe?

The numbers say yes. Six reported cases across two of the busiest resorts in the world, over three of their busiest months, is a tiny number.

Most cases on these reports involve guests with pre-existing conditions, or rides that are rougher than people expect. Ride warnings are there for a reason, so read the signs in the queue.

If a ride warns about heart, back or neck problems, or motion sickness, take it seriously.

What should you do if you feel sick after a ride?

Tell a cast member or team member right away. Every Disney World and Universal Orlando theme park has a first aid center with nurses on staff, and they see plenty of queasy guests on hot summer days.

Drink water, find some shade and sit out the next big coaster if you need to. The ride will still be there after lunch.
