A 70-year-old woman died after riding the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida on November 25, 2025, according to a quarterly theme park incident report released by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) and reported by People.
The report, which details medical incidents and injuries at major Florida theme parks from October through December 2025, lists the woman’s death among other ride-related medical events.
The report states that the woman became unresponsive after the ride and was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead. The FDACS report does not disclose the woman’s identity or the specific cause of death.
Universal Orlando has not publicly detailed the cause of death, and no official medical examiner findings have been released in the incident report. A Universal spokesperson said to People the company does not comment on pending claims.
Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor steel roller coaster at Universal Studios Florida. The high-speed thrill ride reaches speeds of approximately 40–45 mph and includes sudden drops and themed effects inspired by The Mummy film franchise.
The ride has appeared in multiple quarterly safety reports since opening, with non-fatal incidents such as dizziness, nausea, and other medical complaints recorded in previous years, but rarely including fatal outcomes.
In Florida, theme parks are required to report certain ride-related injuries or deaths that result in hospital stays of at least 24 hours or fatalities to the FDACS. These quarterly reports compile data self-reported by park operators and provide summaries of medical incidents associated with rides and attractions.
The quarterly report for October–December 2025 includes the Revenge of the Mummy incident, as well as multiple non-fatal injuries at other parks or rides such as the Stardust Racers, Yoshi’s Adventure, and Jurassic World: VelociCoaster.
The FDACS incident reports do not include medical diagnoses or cause of death; they are administrative compilations of self-reported data from park operators. As such:
The specific medical cause of the woman’s death is not recorded in the public report.
Autopsy reports or medical examiner determinations have not been referenced in the quarterly report.
The reports do not provide information on whether the individual had any pre-existing medical conditions that may have contributed to the outcome.
While fatalities at major theme parks are uncommon, historical records show previous incidents at Revenge of the Mummy involving injuries or deaths unrelated to ride operation directly, for example, a fatal fall from the loading platform in 2004 that was ruled accidental.
In September 2025, a 32-year-old man died after riding a different Universal attraction (Stardust Racers) at Epic Universe; the medical examiner ruled his death accidental and attributed it to multiple blunt impact injuries.
