A 70-year-old woman passed away in November following a ride on the Revenge of the Mummy attraction at Universal Studios in Orlando. The state's agriculture and consumer services department reported that she became unresponsive on November 25, 2025, and succumbed to her condition at a hospital.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump has identified the deceased as Ma de La Luz Mejia Rosas and is representing her family. They are actively seeking comprehensive details regarding the roller coaster's safety measures, maintenance history, and any prior incidents.
Revenge of the Mummy is described as a high-speed indoor roller coaster with sudden accelerations and startling effects, reaching speeds up to 45 mph. It has specific rider requirements and is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions.
This incident follows another fatality at Universal Studios last year, where a 32-year-old man died after riding the Stardust Racers. Additionally, a woman in her 30s experienced neck pain and motion sickness after riding Revenge of the Mummy in August.
