ORLANDO, Fla. - A Florida family has filed a lawsuit against SeaWorld Orlando alleging that their child was hit in the face by an object while riding one of the roller coasters at the theme park.
What does the lawsuit allege?
According to the lawsuit, the alleged incident happened on or around March 15, 2025, while the child was visiting SeaWorld Orlando from Hillsborough County.
The child was on Mako, billed by SeaWorld Orlando as the "tallest roller coaster in Orlando," when an object from another rider apparently flew into the air and struck the girl in the face, according to the lawsuit.
"As a result, the impact caused an injury that required stitches to her forehead and later a development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety Disorder," reads the lawsuit.
