70-Year-Old Woman Dies After Riding Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Orlando

If you’re thinking about sunny days and theme park thrills, here’s a sobering story that’s made recent headlines in Florida and across the country.

Last November, a 70-year-old woman died at a Universal Orlando ride after riding the Revenge of the Mummy, according to a Universal Orlando theme park death report released earlier this month.

The woman became unresponsive while on the ride on November 25th, 2025, and, unfortunately, died at a nearby hospital. Authorities haven’t publicly released her name or an official cause of death.

What the Report Says

The publicly released state data shows that the tragedy occurred on Revenge of the Mummy, one of Universal Orlando’s most popular attractions. It’s an indoor roller coaster that reaches high speeds and includes sudden twists, drops, and themed effects.

The ride has a detailed safety description that notes it isn’t suitable for riders with certain medical conditions, including those susceptible to dizziness, heart issues, blood pressure concerns, or other sensitivities that might be aggravated by rapid motion and visual effects.

Universal Studios hasn’t responded to requests for comment, and the state report didn’t provide additional context as to why the woman became unresponsive.

What We Know About the Incident

According to the report:

• The woman became unresponsive while on the ride on November 25th, 2025.

• She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she later died.

• The report doesn’t include a cause of death or specific medical details.

• Theme parks in Florida are required to self-report serious injuries and deaths that occur on rides, and these are compiled into quarterly state reports.

Ride Safety and Past Incidents

Revenge of the Mummy ride safety guidelines note that it’s an indoor roller coaster that can reach speeds of up to about 45 mph. It’s full of sudden movements in total darkness, along with visual and audio effects.

Theme park injury reports over the years have shown a range of nonfatal issues associated with this ride, such as nausea, dizziness, and minor medical episodes. This case is now being widely referred to as the Revenge of the Mummy coaster death in state reporting and media coverage.

Sadly, 21 incidents have been linked to this ride since it opened in 2004, including reports of seizures and back injuries.

This tragic death follows another at a Universal property in 2025, when a 32-year-old man died after becoming unresponsive on the Stardust Racers coaster at Universal’s Epic Universe theme park.

What Theme Park Reports Cover

In Florida, major theme parks such as Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World are required to report incidents ranging from injuries to deaths in quarterly summaries compiled by the state. 

These reports are meant to capture serious medical events that require hospital stays or rides associated with significant health issues. 

Together, they form part of the state’s ongoing tracking of Florida theme park injury data. That said, they don’t always include detailed causes or investigations.

How Visitor Experience and Safety Intersect

All of us visit theme parks expecting excitement, thrills, and fun. But, rides like Revenge of the Mummy also push the limits of speed and sensory effects. 

For most of us, these experiences are safe, but rare tragedies like this tend to renew our attention to ride safety guidelines and how parks communicate risks.

Florida’s latest report certainly underscores the importance of reviewing ride advisories and understanding individual health considerations before choosing high-intensity attractions.

A Morning at the Park Turns Tragic

This 70-year-old woman’s death after riding a fan-favorite Universal Orlando attraction is a reminder of how quickly a joyful outing can become heartbreaking. 

As amusement park fans reflect on this Universal Studios Florida tragedy, questions about ride safety, reporting transparency, and personal health risks will continue to be part of the conversation.
