A woman is suing SeaWorld after a duck hit her in the face while she rode a high-speed roller coaster. <\/p>\n

WFTV<\/a> reported that the woman is seeking $50,000 for the incident that happened in March. <\/p>\n

She was riding the Mako coaster and a duck flew into the path of the car, hitting her in the face, knocking her unconscious. <\/p>\n

The woman, who was not identified, claims that SeaWorld should have warned about dangerous conditions before she got on the coaster. <\/p>\n

Her attorneys wrote in the legal filing that the theme park, “created a zone of danger for bird strikes due to\u2026 placing the roller coaster over or near a body of water, which creates a higher risk of bird strikes involving ducks, gulls, geese and other waterfowl,” WFTV<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

SeaWorld did not comment on the lawsuit when asked by WFTV. <\/p>\n

The Mako, according to the park\u2019s website<\/a>, is Orlando\u2019s tallest and fastest roller coaster, which hits speeds of up to 73 mph and is 200 feet high. <\/p>\n
