It made me real sad to see the bird's death on Stealth bunny hop

track and Thorpe Park needs to check its whole track out before

it's open for all guys since they don't totally want to believe any

kind of horrible stuffs like Stealth runs over small animals. If

lots of guys got to see its ride's like Animal Murderer they would

be gonna hate it.

If you watch it frame by frame, you see in the last frame before the hit, that the bird does try to fly away. Too slow though, ha.

 

Reminds me of a time I was at Busch Gardens after it rained... there were Pigeons all along the skyride cable. When the ride started moving most didn't fly away, when it came to the wheels where the cable is pushed though, one bird didn't fly away and got smashed under the wheel. I thought it was funny.

RIP Pigeon,

 

Atleast it's body did not get stuck in the wheels and make the train stop mid-track.

 

I wonder what attraction "Stealth" is to the birds, is the paint or just curious to see what this steel monster is..

 

I can agree 200ft high on the Top Hat is a mighty fine place to pirch and see what's going on around you.

 

Have these kills just been on the Bunny Hop section..?

 

I wonder if the park will provide "goggles" soon so you don't get sprayed with Blood n feathers.

I was in th front of that train. The bird was sitting inbetween the brake fins at the end. Our bird more or less exploded into a plume of feathers.

 

You know I have never heard of birds on any other intamin coasters, I wonder why Stealth has such a deadly record!

 

 

I was sittin in the other front seat.

 

scary

^^ Yeah, well that's what several of us were originally thinking, after getting off "the bird killer train" in June. OMG "what if..."

 

Thankfully the old Stealth took the total brunt of the....'hit.'
