Fortunately it appears to have been a computer malfunction, but not actually a derailment. Although it sounds like US has been having problems with their computers all day.

States that there was not a derailment, but there were computer glitches.

I hate coasters...But ROTM is my fav ride at Uni.other then Spidy.
It was a computer glitch,I'm sure..

 

[Planogirl]

I love this ride and I'm so glad that it turned out to be a computer thing. Computers...blech!

 

[RMulieri]

I feel bad for the people on the ride, at least it was not an accident......But hopefully they won't shut Mummy down ..That will mean it and JAWS will both be closed when I go..

Glad everything has reopened.

Wow. I left just after the 5:00 parade so must have left right before

there was a story on screamscape saying both rides went down at the same time, although that story seems to have since been removed.

Are they in any way linked? - maybe even just a fire alarm link or something?
