Universal Orlando visitor dies after riding Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster, state report says

A tragic incident occurred at Universal Orlando in November when a 70-year-old visitor passed away after experiencing the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster. This information was disclosed in a report from the state, made public on Thursday.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) released the report, which revealed that the woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, became unresponsive during her ride on the indoor coaster on November 25, 2025. She was later pronounced dead at the hospital, though the report did not specify the cause of death.

The Revenge of the Mummy is a thrilling indoor coaster inspired by “The Mummy” and “The Mummy Returns” films, capable of reaching speeds up to 45 mph. It has been a part of the park since 2004.

Since its debut, the ride has been associated with 21 reported incidents. These range from milder symptoms like nausea and dizziness to more severe issues, such as a seizure and a vertebrae fracture, as reported by KTLA.

Fox News Digital attempted to contact Universal Orlando for their response regarding the incident, but they have yet to receive a reply.

The FDACS report lists incidents that occur at amusement parks that employ their own full-time safety inspectors and must self-report incidents as they are exempt from state inspections. The incidents are broken down on a per quarter basis.

During the same October to December 2025 period, the report said six health-related incidents were reported at Walt Disney World. No incidents were recorded at other popular parks in Florida, including Sea World, Busch Gardens and Legoland.

Another death happened at Universal Orlando just months earlier when 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala after becoming unresponsive on the Stardust Racers roller coaster at the amusement park’s Epic Universe on Sept. 17.

Zavala had suffered multiple blunt force injuries on the dual-launch ride and later died at a hospital, according to authorities.

Attorneys representing Zavala’s family argue that Universal missed “multiple” warning signs before his death, claiming the incident was not “isolated,” and several other victims have reported similar injuries after participating in the same ride.
