The sculpture stands 32 feet tall and weighs 9,000 pounds - drive past it fast to avoid the lasers that often emit from the red eyes. By mindful that Denver Police sometimes patrol the next corner.

Best tip I can offer: avert your eyes and lament the tax dollars which created something which would never have existed in the "real world"

Jo Solonika

My kids love saying hello and goodbye to the blue horse whenever we fly. Keeps them occupied keeping an eye out for him. Our vacation bookend (the start and end of our trips).

Dave Taylor

Still less scary than Blucifito, the demon kitten

Everything is good here. It's f*cking Blucifer.

Wendy Abshire

Legend has it that a family of Hobbits live inside this blue mustang. But no one has lived who has tried to verify it.

Gina Schreck

Never look into his eyes.. your car will explode. I've seen it happen.

Ben Perry

I am wondering, there's no balls on the horse . Is it a she devil?

Robert Tarrall

The correct name for this is “Blucifer” and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

The mustang actually fell on the sculptor , killing him. His family finished the project and put it up at DIA.

Dan Jaklic

Avoid this Devil's Work @all costs. It will only add to whatever pre/post travel distress you have!

Ben Samples

Not only a demon horse from hell but also a murderer. He fell on his creator during installation, killing him

Aaron Hutchings

That thing cost Denver $1 mil and it fell on the sculptor and killed him before it was finished.

Jack Garber

The demon-horse is accepting Patriot fans as tribute to its fury =)

Jeff Perkins

When friends and family visit, distract them long enough so that they don't see this monstrosity.

Laura Miller McConnell

Always a topic for interesting conversation!

If you gaze into it's eyes long enough, you'll be turned into stone...or a Broncos fan.
