Universal to reopen Stardust -Renjaers driving two weeks after the death of men

Orlando, fla. (AP) -Universal Orlando Resort plans to reopen its Stardust Racers ride at Epic Universe more than two weeks after a 32-year-old man died of blunt power injuries after being on the speed attack. Signs will be updated to strengthen existing warnings and suitability requirements to help visitors decide whether to go on the double launch course, reaching the speeds up to 62 km / h (100 km / h), Karen Irwin, president and chief operating officer of Universal Orlando Resort, said in a memo for workers on Friday. The ride will open again on Saturday. The family of Kevin Rodriguez Zavala publicly called on Universal not to reopen the ride until all investigations were done and they had a better understanding of how he died. The medical investigator for the Orlando area ruled the cause of death as multiple blunt impact injuries and said the manner of death is an accident. The complete autopsy report was not made public. Zavala had a spinal disability from birth and used a wheelchair, but his family’s attorneys said his disability did not cause his death on September 17. Irwin said the ride at Universal’s latest theme park has undergone an extensive operational and technical overview that confirmed that the ride systems functioned properly and universal workers followed the right procedures. The manufacturer of the drive system and an independent expert on Achtbaan engineering also made on-site supporting Universal’s findings, she said. Separately, a woman sued Universal Orlando Resort last week, claiming that she was injured on the ride that she said tremendously and hit her head in the head of her seat. The lawyers of Zavala’s family said this week that others are reaching out with similar stories about the ride that officially opened in May with the debut of the new theme park.
