Family of woman who died after Universal Orlando’s Revenge of the Mummy ride retains attorney

State report documents fatal medical emergency after Universal Studios Florida attraction

The family of a 70-year-old woman who died after riding Universal Orlando’s Revenge of the Mummy has retained an attorney, a step that can signal preparations for records requests, claims discussions, or potential litigation. The death was first reflected in a state theme-park incident report covering the final quarter of 2025.

The report indicates the woman became unresponsive on Nov. 25, 2025, while riding Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. She was transported to a hospital and later pronounced dead. The report does not identify the guest and does not provide a medical cause of death.

What the state reporting system does — and does not — show

Florida’s large theme parks operate under a reporting framework that requires disclosure of certain serious incidents to the state, which compiles them in periodic summaries. The entries typically include the date, park, attraction, guest age, and a brief description of symptoms observed at the time of the incident.

The reports are limited in scope: they generally do not include detailed circumstances, contributing factors, medical histories, or later determinations from hospitals or medical examiners. As a result, a fatality listed in the quarterly report does not, by itself, establish causation connected to ride operation, nor does it confirm whether a pre-existing medical condition played a role.

Context: other reported incidents in the same reporting period

During the October–December 2025 reporting window, Universal Orlando recorded multiple medical incidents across its properties, including at Universal’s Islands of Adventure and at attractions associated with Universal Epic Universe. The same quarterly period also included several incidents at Walt Disney World. Other major Central Florida theme parks reported no incidents in that quarter.

• Fatal incident listed at Universal Studios Florida tied to a medical emergency after Revenge of the Mummy (Nov. 25, 2025).

• Additional reports in the quarter included symptoms such as chest pain, nausea, numbness/visual disturbance, and cardiac-related episodes on other attractions.

Ride history and safety oversight questions likely to follow

Revenge of the Mummy opened in 2004 and has appeared repeatedly over the years in state incident reporting with a range of outcomes, from dizziness and fainting to more serious injuries. Those historical entries can become relevant in legal and regulatory discussions, but they do not necessarily indicate a systemic defect; theme-park reports capture outcomes reported, not verified root causes.

Key unresolved issues in the case include the medical cause of death, whether any pre-existing conditions were involved, and whether the attraction’s operation or restraints played any role.

Universal has declined to comment publicly in connection with pending claims. With counsel now retained by the family, next steps commonly include seeking incident documentation, emergency response timelines, and any available operational records related to the ride at the time of the event.
