Guests recently experienced a frightening situation at Epic Universe, where a serious medical emergency occurred. This incident took place on October 14, shortly before the park closed, in the Dark Universe area, near the Curse of the Werewolf attraction.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as Universal team members began to clear the area. One guest recounted, “My friend and I went on Curse of the Werewolf right before closing, and they were frantically trying to escort us out.” The guest expressed concern as they witnessed a man being resuscitated on the ground. Another visitor shared that multiple medics arrived and confirmed that the man wasn’t breathing.
Immediate Response and Guest Reactions
Guests reported security and employees pushing them toward exits. “I didn’t want to crowd the area more than it already was, so I went to the tavern,” one visitor stated. They noticed that medical services had blocked the main path, forcing some guests to exit through employee-only areas.
- Incident Date: October 14
- Location: Dark Universe, Epic Universe
- Attraction: Curse of the Werewolf
As of now, Universal has not issued any public comment regarding the incident. The lack of communication has left many concerned about the man’s condition.
Concerns Over Safety and Comfort at Epic Universe
This medical emergency has once again raised concerns about the park environment, particularly regarding safety and guest comfort. Since its opening, visitors have voiced frustrations over the limited shade and seating available.
“These parks do NOT have enough shade and they do NOT have enough places for guests to sit,” complained one visitor on Reddit. This has led to issues of dehydration and exhaustion among guests during their visits.
Past Safety Incidents at Epic Universe
This is not the first time Epic Universe has faced scrutiny over safety. Just weeks prior, a tragic event occurred when a 32-year-old man died after riding the popular attraction, Stardust Racers. An investigation revealed that his death was due to “multiple blunt impact injuries.”
The incident garnered widespread attention, with the family’s attorney insisting that the man’s disability played no role in the tragic outcome. Reports also surfaced of other guests who were allegedly injured on the same ride.
