On this episode, we dive into all that we know about the terrible tragedy of a guest passing away after riding Stardust Racers at Epic Universe. Was the ride the cause? Was there a medical conditions that led to the events? Lots of questions to consider. We also speculate about what could be going into Lost Continent after permits were filed for 5 acres of land clearing. Could it be Zelda? Pokemon? More Harry Potter?
