the Orlando Sentinel reported. Florida theme parks are required to self-report guest injuries that require at least 24 hours of hospitalization to the state each quarter, which the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services then makes available to the public.There were eight reported injuries during the previous three-month stretch, the Sentinel reported.High-speed roller coasters, in-the-dark rides, whitewater rafts and attractions with motion-simulators caused most of the recent injuries.Disney reported one incident in April – a 60-year-old man who experienced chest pains after riding Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.

A 76-year-old man felt faint after riding Tron Lightcycle/Run, a high-speed roller coaster in the dark “with sharp turns, sudden drops and stops,” according to the Disney site.A 39-year-old woman reported feeling disoriented while leaving Space Mountain, another high-speed, in-the-dark coaster at Magic Kingdom.Then in June, a 42-year-old woman complained of back pain after exiting Frozen Ever After, a slow-moving, in-the-dark boat ride at Epcot, based on the popular animated film.
