Officials have provided a clearer picture of the tragedy that occurred on Stardust Racers at Universal’s Epic Universe earlier this month. On Sept. 17, 32-year-old Kevin Zavala died after riding the new coaster. Universal Orlando’s president Karen Irwin told employees that internal findings show the ride “functioned as intended” and “equipment was intact” throughout the ride.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services confirmed those findings in its own statement, noting that investigators monitored the same tests and reviewed the same data. Both agencies said the investigation is ongoing.

An autopsy by the Orange and Osceola chief medical examiner determined Zavala’s cause of death was multiple blunt impact injuries and ruled it an accident, with notes of a pre-existing spinal injury. Attorney Ben Crump, representing Zavala’s family, said they will be pursuing maintenance logs, inspection records, and video footage to better understand what happened and to seek accountability. For now, Universal confirmed that Stardust Racers will remain closed while a full review is conducted with the ride’s manufacturer.
