'Wild ride' at Ohio's Cedar Point amusement park when guests discover extra roller coaster passenger

The duck hitched a ride on the Millennium Force coaster, unveiled in 2000 at Cedar Point in Ohio

One plucky duck took the ride of a lifetime in Ohio this week on Cedar Point's famous Millennium Force roller coaster.

The park, located in Sandusky, Ohio, believes that the duck snuck onto the coaster after it was already in motion.

Tony Clark, spokesman for Cedar Point, shared with Fox News Digital via email that "it appears the duck may have flown into the ride vehicle at some point while it was in operation."

Instead of waiting for park maintenance staff to remove the waterfowl, one guest took matters into her own hands and carried the stowaway off the coaster herself.
