A 70-year-old woman tragically passed away in November following her experience on the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster at Universal Orlando, as revealed by a state report unveiled on Thursday.

Although the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) report did not disclose her name, it noted that she became unresponsive during her ride on the indoor roller coaster on November 25, 2025. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital, with the cause of death remaining unspecified in the report.

The Revenge of the Mummy, an indoor roller coaster inspired by the films “The Mummy” and “The Mummy Returns,” boasts speeds that can reach up to 45 mph.

Since its debut in 2004, there have been 21 documented incidents involving the ride, ranging from nausea and dizziness to more severe issues like a seizure and a fractured vertebra, as reported by KTLA.

Fox News Digital reached out to Universal Orlando for comment but did not immediately hear back.

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.
