ride of steel Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Have you ever encountered any sort of animal? Such as hitting a deer, runaway rat, that fun stuff. I've gotten hit by a bug in the hand on RoS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yes we saw a deer while riding the Knoebel's train once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Lots of them on Great Adventure's safari ride. As for unintended animal encounters, seagulls on just about everything at Cedar Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 There was some sort of giant bird of prey making a nest on the top of Alpengeist and he would get very angry every time the train would come by and threaten us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) June 2006. The first (public) TPR Tour to the UK. Thorpe Park. Stealth. We hit a bird, after coming down from the top hat. Feathers everywhere. Thankfully, nobody got hit in the face with it. Just feathers.

Dombot Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 A Bug flew in my mouth on Eagle backwards I'd say that counts. And I once saw a mama deer and two baby fawns just after the second lift on Loch Ness Monster at BGW, circa 2009. So cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Maier Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 When I rode El Toro . . . in the grass field where Rolling Thunder used to be, I saw a flock of Canada Geese (somehow, I don't think feeding Geese funnel cake would be a good idea) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 You can see deer grazing near the tracks of the Busch Gardens railroad all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmnipotentSeal Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 (edited) This is a neat thread. I'm going to be that guy at first and say "Killimanjaro safari", but I have other examples too. I saw a deer by the tracks on Screamin eagle at SFStL while I was riding. I also once saw a deer and its fawn (forget the proper sciencey name) on the train at worlds of fun by Prowler Lastly at my home park Funplex (Omaha), I saw a bird actually sit in a seat and ride a tilt a whirl. It rode it three cycles in a row. Edited May 11, 2018 by OmnipotentSeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intamin_coyote Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I once encountered a levitating, glow-in-the-dark donkey while riding Beast at night. It was floating atop the brake shed and going like, "HEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOONGK! HEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOONGK!" True story not even joking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 There was this one time during a night ride on Maverick at Cedar Point. Some how a deer got in the launch tunnel and decided to race the train on the launch, (Cheetah Hunt style) the deer almost won!! The one thing it wasn't prepared for was the wall at the end of the launch track... Poor deer. Rumor has it, if you look closely you can still see the holes in the wood from the deer's antlers... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixFlagsAstroworld Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Lol, I like this thread. I encountered a stray cat that somehow made it on the lift catwalks on Batman the Ride at sfstl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 While waiting in Top Thrill Dragster's line during a breakdown, I watched a group of seagulls play Chicken on Corkscrew's track. None of them managed to get hit, though. Also, I must've eaten half a dozen bugs during the two days I spent there last June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Angry wasps on Mamba's lift hill. Sadly, that's the most thrilling part of the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skittles Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 There was a giant bear on Splash Mountain. A squirrel climbed onto the tracks (and quickly climbed off, of course) when I rode Medusa at SFDK once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
