(CBS NEWS) \u2013 According to CBS News, a\u00a070-year-old woman died in November after riding the Revenge of the Mummy roller coaster at Universal Studios in Orlando, according to a report from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.<\/p>\n

The woman became unresponsive while riding the attraction on Nov. 25, the state agency said in its latest quarterly report on injuries at theme parks, which covers the last three months of 2025. She later died at a hospital, it said. The report did not provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding her death.<\/p>\n

CBS News reached out to Universal Orlando;\u00a0the company declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Revenge of the Mummy is an elaborate-looking indoor ride that incorporates elements of a typical roller coaster, strapping riders into conjoined carts that whisk them along a dimly-lit track filled with jerks and jump scares, as\u00a0promotional materials<\/a>\u00a0for the experience show.<\/p>\n

According to a\u00a0description<\/a>\u00a0of the ride published in a Universal Studios safety guide, Revenge of the Mummy \u201cis a high-speed roller coaster ride that includes sudden and dramatic acceleration, climbing, tilting, and dropping.\u201d At times, the ride reaches speeds of up to 45 mph, CBS affiliage\u00a0WKMG reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ride has a minimum height requirement of 4 feet tall and isn\u2019t suitable for passengers with a variety of medical conditions, including those who are susceptible to motion sickness or dizziness, or who have histories of heart conditions, abnormal blood pressure, back issues, neck issues, medical sensitivities to strobe effects, medical sensitivities to fog effects and any \u201cother conditions which may be aggravated\u201d by the ride, the safety description says.<\/p>\n

This was the second death linked to a Universal Studios ride last year, Florida\u2019s previous theme park injury report showed. On Sept. 17, a 32-year-old man died after riding the park\u2019s Stardust Racers roller coaster. Citing a medical examiner\u2019s report, WKMG reported that the man\u2019s cause of death was determined to be \u201cmultiple blunt impact injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier, in August, a 32-year-old woman was injured on the Revenge of the Mummy ride, according to the report, which said she suffered neck pain and motion sickness.<\/p>\n

Florida law\u00a0requires theme parks<\/a>\u00a0in the state to report ride-related injuries that require hospital stays of at least 24 hours.<\/p>\n
