Rides break down... It happens... Key is no one got hurt...
Of course, but they don't always derail. That's the only reason I posted it because that is a big deal. I just read that the rides opened an hour later, so that confirms it was just a glitch.

I'll post what I put on OU:
I can not stress enough how safe this ride is.
It would be incredibly difficult for a Mummy vehicle to derail. Besides the wheels, the frame is a C shape that cups around the rail. Just like B&M coasters, all the wheels could fall off and the car still would not come off the track.
The only other way would be if a train ran over a switch that was not positioned properly. This would also be extremely hard to do because of the fail-safes in place. When a switch goes into a certain position, it triggers a sensor for the duration it is in the position, therefore enabling the brakes around it to release for the proper direction. If the switch falls out of position, the brakes lock up, stopping movement in the area and probably causing an E-Stop.

It didn't.
There were computer glitches at ET and Mummy that temporarily shut down the rides. Neither had anyone hurt and there was no derailment.

I know... At first I read it derailed too.. But now that it has been confirmed the ride didn't derail, I'm just glad no one was injured...
The ride really is curse, that and the forbidden journey both have ghosts haunting them.

I know. And like I said before, rides are machines that are not always 100% reliable. It just happens, regardless of where.
