State report documents death of 70-year-old after Universal Orlando’s Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster ride

Incident recorded in Florida’s quarterly theme-park injury reporting system

A 70-year-old woman died after becoming unresponsive while riding Revenge of the Mummy, an indoor roller coaster at Universal Orlando Resort, state records show. The incident occurred on Nov. 25, 2025, two days before Thanksgiving. The rider was transported to a hospital, where she later died.

The woman’s identity was not included in the state’s published materials, and the report did not list a cause of death. The event was documented in Florida’s quarterly accounting of theme-park incidents that require reporting under state oversight of certain amusement rides.

What the public record says — and what it does not

The state document describes the rider becoming unresponsive during the attraction and being taken for medical care. Beyond that, it provides limited detail, reflecting the scope of the quarterly report format: it captures the occurrence of a significant medical event associated with a ride, but it is not written as a medical determination and does not function as an investigative finding on causation.

In this case, no publicly released state material linked the death to a specific mechanical failure, operator error, or pre-existing medical condition. Universal has not released additional public details about the incident.

About the ride

Revenge of the Mummy opened in 2004 at Universal Studios Florida. The attraction is an indoor, high-intensity roller coaster with sudden acceleration, darkness effects and themed elements. It does not invert riders, but it is designed as a thrill ride and includes a height requirement of 48 inches.

• Attraction type: indoor roller coaster
• Minimum height requirement: 48 inches
• Reported top speed: about 40–45 mph in publicly available ride descriptions

How Florida tracks theme-park incidents

Florida publishes periodic summaries of certain theme-park incidents that meet reporting thresholds, including serious injuries and medical emergencies. These reports are compiled from incidents reported during a defined quarter and provide a snapshot of cases in which guests required hospital transport or experienced other significant outcomes.

Because the reports are structured as an incident log, they often do not include later medical outcomes beyond the initial event, and they do not typically provide diagnoses or autopsy findings. As a result, the presence of an incident in a quarterly report does not, by itself, establish why a medical outcome occurred or whether the ride’s operation contributed to it.

The quarterly report format records serious incidents but generally provides limited information on cause, investigations, or long-term medical outcomes.

Context: recent scrutiny on ride safety reporting

The fatality comes amid heightened public attention on ride safety and post-incident transparency in Florida’s major theme-park corridor, where parks operate a mix of state-regulated and differently regulated attractions. The quarterly reporting process remains one of the primary mechanisms for the public to track serious ride-associated medical incidents across large operators in the Orlando area.

No additional state findings on this specific incident were included in the public quarterly materials released to date.
