The death of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala on Stardust Racers has triggered widespread public concern and calls for greater transparency from Universal Orlando. The incident occurred just months after Epic Universe opened in May 2025, marking Florida’s first major theme park launch in over two decades.
Social media platforms lit up with tributes, speculation, and safety concerns. Hashtags like #StardustRacers and #EpicUniverseTragedy trended regionally, while forensic teams were seen inspecting the ride vehicle and loading area.
Universal has pledged full cooperation with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, but critics argue that internal inspections are insufficient. Florida law exempts large parks from state-run safety audits, relying instead on self-reporting.
As the investigation continues, the future of Stardust Racers—and Universal’s reputation—hangs in the balance.
