A 70-year-old woman’s theme park fun ended in heartbreak last November when she lost consciousness on the infamous Revenge of the Mummy rollercoaster, just days before Thanksgiving.
Authorities confirmed she passed away shortly after being rushed from the park to a hospital. The latest incident was disclosed in a Thursday injury report from Florida’s Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, but officials have not released the woman’s identity or confirmed an official cause of death.
The whirlwind indoor coaster, inspired by The Mummy movie blockbuster, catapults riders through scenes of chaos at up to 45 mph. While it may not flip riders upside down, it jerks, jolts, and sends them hurtling backward along shadowy tracks as mummified horrors leap out from the darkness—a combination that’s rattled plenty of nerves over the years.

Angelica Shuhala, Monmouth Beach, rides hands free down the first 130 foot drop on the Jersey Devil roller coaster at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township, NJ, Thursday morning, June 10, 2021. The attraction is 3,000 feet of soaring, single-rail, I-beam track.
Since the attraction’s 2004 debut, Universal Orlando’s spine-chilling mummy maze has racked up 21 incident reports, according to KTLA. Past riders have complained of everything from dizziness and nausea to fractured vertebrae and even seizures, making it one of the park’s most notorious attractions.
The death comes a few months after another fatal coaster incident rocked Universal. In September, 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala died from injuries sustained while riding the super-speedy Stardust Racers at Universal’s brand-new Epic Universe park. That dual-launch beast, which opened just months earlier in May, tears along the track at a blistering 62 mph. The ride was shuttered but reopened in October after the investigation.
Florida’s agriculture department regularly publishes quarterly updates on injuries at top theme parks, including heavy-hitters like Disney World, SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, and Universal. The woman’s fatal incident was among those listed for the final months of 2025. Universal Orlando has yet to release a statement following the latest tragedy.
