It's considered a risk. The jarring of the roller coaster stopping and going may cause placental aburption. There are no studies saying that roller coaster pose a risk during pregnancy, and there are no studies that show that roller coasters are safe during pregnancy (atleast not that I've seen and I try to keep on top of things). It should be avoided, but some pregnant women do ride them, so it's up to you. I would also be conernced with it making you sick.

There are signs posted by most roller coasters and other jarring rides stating that pregnant women are not to ride. I do not think it would be worth the risk to your baby to take a chance. There are lots of other things to do at Universal, so enjoy your stay but keep off the rides and be safe.
