A woman says she was hit in the face by a duck and knocked unconscious while riding SeaWorld Orlando’s fastest roller coaster, according to her new lawsuit.

Hillary Martin , an Orange County resident, filed the lawsuit this week in Orange Circuit Court.

Martin’s complaint said the March 24 incident happened on the Mako coaster that goes up to 72 mph.

Her lawsuit accused SeaWorld of creating “a zone of danger for bird strikes” because of the “high speed of the roller coaster,” which is located near water. The ride’s location “creates a higher risk of bird strikes involving ducks, gulls, geese, and other waterfowl” and was also designed in “such a way as to disorient waterfowls thereby increasing the risk of collision.”

The lawsuit doesn’t say what happened to the duck.
