70-Year-Old Woman Dies After Riding Universal’s ‘Mummy’ Coaster

The ride has been linked to over a dozen incident reports since its debut.

A 70-year-old woman died after riding Universal Studios Florida’s “Revenge of the Mummy” roller coaster, according to a new report obtained by People. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services report said the woman became unresponsive during the ride and was transported to a local hospital, where she later died last November. Officials did not identify the woman or disclose the specific medical cause of death in the report. “Revenge of the Mummy,” which opened in 2004, reaches speeds of up to 40 miles per hour and features a 39-foot drop. According to the outlet, the attraction has been involved in at least 21 reported incidents since its debut. The death comes after another tragedy at the park. Last September, 34-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala died after riding “Stardust Racers” at Universal’s newly opened Epic Universe park. Zavala suffered blunt force trauma, and Universal later reached a settlement with his family in December 2025, according to reports.
