In an unexpected turn of events, a boy was found lost at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon. The young boy was safely rescued at around 5:28 p.m., thanks to the quick actions of a park visitor.
The incident took place near the monorail ride, which was swiftly closed and secured with a chained closure and barricaded turnstile. The rescue was captured on video and shows the boy being directed by people in the crowd below. A man named Jonathan Miller, a park visitor, bravely climbed onto a building and jumped onto the rails to reach the boy.
The boy, who covered his ears during the rescue, was unharmed throughout the ordeal. He was successfully reunited with his family shortly after the rescue. The park issued a statement expressing gratitude for the actions of guests and employees, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining high levels of guest safety.
However, the statement did not address the role of Mr. Miller in the rescue, nor did it provide any updates on the investigation into the incident. It also did not mention any changes in park policies or procedures following the incident.
The boy entered a secured area leading to the monorail ride while park employees were searching for him. No further details about the boy's separation from his family were provided in the statement. The monorail ride remains closed until further notice.
The park visitor's heroic actions were met with cheers from the crowd below, highlighting the sense of community and camaraderie at Hersheypark. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and quick thinking in ensuring the safety of all guests.
