A woman has sued Universal, claiming she sustained injuries after riding the Stardust Racers roller coaster at Epic Universe. The lawsuit comes a week after a man died after riding the same attraction. 

On Sept. 24, a woman named Sandi Streets filed a negligence claim against Universal City Development Partners, the company that owns and operates the Universal Orlando Resort. 

In legal documents obtained and reviewed by PEOPLE, Streets claimed she visited the park on April 30, before it officially opened to the public, as a “business invitee.” While riding Stardust Racers, Streets claims her “head shook violently and slammed into her seat’s headrest throughout the duration of the ride.”

According to the park’s website, the Stardust Racers attraction can reach speeds of 62 miles per hour as riders travel across its 5,000 feet of track. The ride officially opened to the public along with the rest of Epic Universe in May 2025.

The woman claims to have suffered permanent injuries as a result, including disability and  impairment which she says has resulted in medical expenses and loss of earnings. 

Nicholas Spetsas, Streets’ attorney, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment. Neither did a representative for Universal Orlando Resort.

The lawsuit comes one week after 32-year-old Kevin Roriguez Zavala was found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers on Sept. 17. He was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

According to Orange-Osceola chief medical examiner Joshua Stephany, the guest died after sustaining “multiple blunt impact injuries,” per local station News 6.  

Zavala had a spinal cord atrophy and used a wheelchair, according to Good Morning America. He rode in the front seat of the last section of the coaster’s cars when he became unconscious. 

An internal memo sent to employees said the ride “functioned as intended” and team members “followed procedures” at the time of the incident, GMA reported. 

NBC Miami reported that state investigators with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services said their initial findings also found the ride operated as intended. 

In response to the incident, a GoFundMe campaign was started for Zavala’s family. As of Sept. 26, more that $28,000 has been raised, surpassing the initial $8,000 goal.
