The wild animal, which got over a perimeter fence at Lightwater Valley Theme Park near Ripon in North Yorkshire, was hit by The Ultimate coaster



Rollercoaster horror: 'The Ultimate' ride at Lightwater Valley theme park in Ripon, which killed a deer
Rollercoaster passengers were showered with blood after a deer stumbled onto the track of Europe’s longest rollercoaster and was hit by one of its carriages.

The wild animal had managed to get over a perimeter fence at Lightwater Valley theme park near Ripon in North Yorkshire.

It was hit reportedly decapitated by one of the carriages of The Ultimate, which hurtles through the forest for over one-and-a-half miles for seven minutes at speeds of over 50mph.

The £5million ride, which was opened in 1991 was closed after the accident on Sunday morning but no-one was injured.

A spokeswoman for Lightwater Valley said: “We can confirm a young deer did unfortunately get hit by The Ultimate train yesterday and was killed instantly.



Crowd pleaser: Lightwater Valley houses 'The Ultimate', the world's second-longest rollercoaster
“There is a large perimeter fence surrounding the theme park but occasionally wild animals do manage to stray onto the park during the night.

“After the incident The Ultimate was closed for 30 minutes whilst the ride was thoroughly checked and then normal operation resumed.”

It is not the first time a deer has been killed by the rollercoaster .

In June 1994, a 12-year-old boy was taken to hospital after a deer from the nearby forest strayed onto the track and was hit by one of the carriages which can hold up to 38 people.

They must be getting so tame if even the noise of a rollercoaster thundering past isn't enough of a deterrent... Wonder where the hole is in the fence it got through?
