A man was blinded in one eye after riding the Dragon Challenge roller coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure on Sunday. Carlos Montalvo rode the roller coaster and returned to the station in pain with blood on his face and unable to see out of his right eye. After an extensive inspection, Universal was unable to find a cause of the accident.

Dragon Challenge is a dueling inverted roller coaster that opened in 1999. Able to choose between two separate tracks, there are three close encounters with the other train. Dragon Challenge is one of the few inverted roller coasters that has both a minimum and maximum height limit.

Two options...
1. he hit a bug
2. someone trying to be funny and threw something at the oncoming train just before the loops..

I was there when it was closed and nobody in the park would say why it was, other than they (dragons) were "sick"

Do you know if the blinding is permanent or temporary?
