A 70-year-old woman died in November after riding the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster at Universal Studios in Orlando. This information was released in a report from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

The incident occurred on November 25, when the woman became unresponsive during the ride. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital. The state agency's quarterly report, covering the last three months of 2025, did not disclose further details regarding the circumstances of her death.

Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor roller coaster attraction at Universal Studios. It is characterized by high speeds, sudden acceleration, climbing, tilting, and dropping, reaching speeds of up to 45 mph, as reported by WKMG.

The ride has a minimum height requirement of 4 feet and is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, including susceptibility to motion sickness, heart conditions, abnormal blood pressure, back or neck issues, and sensitivities to strobe or fog effects.

This marks the second fatality associated with a Universal Studios ride within the last year, according to Florida's previous theme park injury report. On September 17, a 32-year-old man died after riding the Stardust Racers roller coaster, with his cause of death attributed to "multiple blunt impact injuries" by a medical examiner, as reported by WKMG. Additionally, in August, a 32-year-old woman sustained neck pain and motion sickness on the Revenge of the Mummy ride.

Florida law mandates that theme parks report ride-related injuries necessitating at least a 24-hour hospital stay.
