A woman sued SeaWorld Orlando after a snowy egret, not a duck, allegedly hit her on the Mako roller coaster; the park denies liability, citing wild bird presence and lack of design fault.

A woman sued SeaWorld Orlando after claiming she was hit in the face by a duck on the Mako roller coaster, but the park disputes this, saying the bird was a Snowy Egret, not a duck, and that its presence near the ride was unrelated to park water sources. SeaWorld argues it cannot be held liable for wild birds and that the injury was not caused by its design, noting the plaintiff declined immediate medical care. The park is seeking to dismiss the lawsuit, calling it speculative, while the woman’s legal team has not responded.
