RIPON, England, Sept. 30 (UPI) —
A theme park confirmed a young deer was struck by a roller coaster, killing the animal and covering passengers in blood.
A spokeswoman for the Lightwater Valley theme park near Ripon, England, confirmed the deer wandered Saturday morning onto the track of The Ultimate, billed as Europe’s longest roller coaster, and was struck by the car.
“We can confirm a young deer did unfortunately get hit by the Ultimate train yesterday and was killed instantly,” the spokeswoman said. “There is a large perimeter fence surrounding the theme park but occasionally wild animals do manage to stray onto the park during the night.”

Doe No!
Somebody’s gonna be in deep shit for killing one of the Queen’s deer!
Used to be punishable by castration and blinding.
This is typical of the young. They loose their ball cap while on the ride and then try to get it while the ride is in motion.
Gotta stock a lot more deer in that park and rename the roller coaster, “The Assassin.” Cheap yellow plastic ponchos for everyone…
The buck stopped there.
just in time for Halloween,
i’m with sig, stock that area with more deer… 🙂
Oh deer.
No one figured out how to make the fence higher? lol.
Minced venison, anyone??
Duck!!!! I mean buck!!!!
Some folks just aren’t able to cope with Bambis’ Wild Ride.
The smart, liberal thing is to market the gore and find riders who want that. Evil crazy people have rights too! Don’t be Evil/Crazy-phobic, ‘k?
Any bets on Larry agreeing in principle?
Blimey!
