Jennifer Lundy Sues Universal Orlando Over Son's Unconsciousness on Stardust Racers
On August 17, Jennifer Lundy initiated legal action against Universal Orlando Resort, asserting that her nine-year-old son, L.L., lost consciousness and sustained injuries while riding the Stardust Racers rollercoaster on October 13, 2025. The lawsuit contends that L.L. met the 48-inch height requirement for the attraction, which can reach speeds of 62 mph and ascend to heights of 133 feet. According to the complaint, the ride's forces caused L.L. to lose consciousness, resulting in his head and face colliding with the vehicle. An onboard camera reportedly recorded him unresponsive. He incurred blunt impact, orthopedic, and spinal injuries, necessitating medical care. Lundy is pursuing damages exceeding $50,000. On September 18, Universal attributed the incident to parental negligence, asserting they accepted the ride's risks.
