Man dies after riding roller coaster at new Florida theme park Epic Universe
Authorities say a man in his 30s has died after riding a roller coaster at Epic Universe. It’s one of the nation’s newest amusement parks. Florida authorities say he was found unresponsive on Wednesday and later pronounced dead at a hospital. No further details have been released. Universal Orlando Resorts opened Epic Universe in May. The park features five themed sections and a 500-room hotel. It’s the first major theme park to open in Florida since 1999, when Universal Islands of Adventure debuted. The addition of Epic Universe brings the total number of parks at the Florida resort to four.
