The family of a woman who died after riding Revenge of the Mummy in Universal Studios Florida has hired attorney Ben Crump to represent them. Crump previously represented the family of a guest who died after riding another Universal coaster, Stardust Racers.
Revenge of the Mummy
A 70-year-old woman was “unresponsive” and then “later passed away at the hospital” after riding Revenge of the Mummy on November 25, according to the fourth quarter 2025 MOU Exempt Facilities Report. News 6 identified the woman as Ma de La Luz Mejia Rosas.
Crump’s office states the family is “seeking answers and full transparency regarding the circumstances surrounding her death, including information related to the ride’s operations, safety protocols, maintenance history, and any available incident data.”
Revenge of the Mummy is a roller coaster that has been operating at Universal Studios Florida since 2004. Inspired by the 1999 The Mummy film and its 2001 sequel, guests enter the film set only to discover the curse of the mummy is real. The ride is about 3 minutes long and reaches a maximum speed of 40 mph. It consists of 2,200 feet of track with 3 launches. There are no inversions. It was manufactured by Premier Rides.
According to the Universal Orlando Resort safety guide, guests should not ride Revenge of the Mummy if they have a history of heart conditions, abnormal blood pressure, back or neck problems, are pregnant, susceptible to motion sickness or dizziness, have medical sensitivity to strobe effects or fog effects, unhealed surgery or fractures, or weakened bones. Guests must be able to independently maintain an upright position; support their torso, neck, and head while absorbing sudden and dramatic movements; and brace their body with at least one upper extremity. When seated, one natural full leg must fit under the shin guard and the other leg (natural or prosthetic) must extend to the edge of the seat.
The resort’s safety guidelines were updated following the September death of 32-year-old Kevin Rodriguez Zavala, who died from “multiple blunt impact injuries” after riding Stardust Racers at Epic Universe.
Zavala’s family retained Crump as their lawyer, too. They did not file a lawsuit but reached an “amicable resolution” with Universal last month. Several unrelated Stardust Racers lawsuits have been filed, however.
