Just thought I'd share this. Waiting to ride MF last night and when the train came back the ride ops began cleaning up the front of the train. I didn't realize what happened until one of the ride ops reached into the train and pulled out a bird. No one was hit but it was quite funny but gross at the same time.
a large bird?? or a small one??? EEEWWWWW either way...but i guess when you're up that high...
anyone notice the amount of birds nesting onMF already? some of the horizontal pieces by the brake run were just CRAMMED FULL of nests!! and the gulls that sit on top of Magnum's tunnels..LOL!! the trains roar by and they just sit there like it's nothing...amazing how wildlife adapts to us crazy humans..

can't believe they cancelled the Simpsons after all these years...now look sad and say D'OH!!
No not too big it was a good sized robin though.
Darn near creamed a seagull on Corkscrew of all things. It was flying low over the second hill as the train crested.
I noticed the nests by the brake run- except they would all fly away just before the trains would pass by.

Oops... I rode it again!
During opening week I was in the front row of Mine ride and we hit a bird that was sitting on the track.

I was at CP yesterday and rode MF. I sat in the front seat of the yellow train. On the island I had my hands up. I got hit in the arm by a bird! I'm dead serious! I had a red mark on my arm and bird crap all on my arm. I have a funny feeling that someone in the future is going to get hit in the face by a bird and start bleeding.

MF seems to hit more birds than other rides.
