A 70-year-old woman tragically died after riding a high-speed rollercoaster at Universal Orlando Resort in Florida, according to newly released official records.
Details of the Tragic Incident
The unnamed woman was found unresponsive after exiting the Revenge of the Mummy indoor rollercoaster on November 25, 2025. Emergency services rushed her to a nearby hospital, but she could not be saved.
The incident was included in a quarterly report from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which compiles injury data from amusement facilities. The report did not disclose the woman's official cause of death.
A Pattern of Reported Medical Episodes
The same report revealed that eight other injuries or medical episodes were reported at the Universal Orlando theme park between October and December 2025. These included complaints of:
- Chest pains
- Sickness
- Back pains
The document notes that it reflects only the initial information reported at the time of each incident. "Due to privacy-related concerns, the department does not receive updates to initial assessments of a patron's condition," the report states.
The Ride's History and Features
The Revenge of the Mummy ride, which opened in 2004, is a popular indoor thrill attraction. It is known for its intense features, which include:
- A top speed of approximately 45 miles per hour
- Sudden stops and backward motion
- A drop of roughly 39 feet
- A ride experience conducted largely in a dimly lit or completely dark environment
Since its opening, the attraction has been linked to 21 reported incidents, according to the records. When approached by local media, a Universal spokesperson stated that the company does not comment on pending claims, though it remains unclear if a claim has been filed in relation to this fatality.
The Orlando Police Department confirmed to FOX 35 that it has not opened a death investigation into the matter, suggesting the death is being treated as a medical episode rather than a result of mechanical failure or negligence.
