DAUPHIN COUNTY, Pa. — A young boy was safely rescued at Hersheypark on Saturday, August 30, after he was seen walking along the monorail tracks.

The ride was closed at the time of the incident, with a chain closure at the entrance and barricaded turnstile at the platform.

In a video posted on social media, there’s a crowd of people around the ride as the boy walked along the tracks and a guest helped guide him to safety.

Hersheypark says the boy was reported missing around 5:05 p.m.  While team members searched for him, the boy entered a secured area for the monorail.  The child then remained at the closed station for about 20 minutes before walking along the track.

In a statement, Hersheypark says, “A guest quickly noticed and helped guide the child to safety. Our team members immediately responded after he was spotted on the tracks, and at approximately 5:28 p.m. the child was safely reunited with his family.”

The statement continues on to say, “We are grateful for the vigilance of our guests and the swift response of our team, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest levels of guest safety throughout Hersheypark.”
