Boy Rescued After Walking on Closed Hersheypark Monorail Tracks

A young boy was rescued after walking along the monorail tracks at Hersheypark on a Saturday evening when the ride was closed and secured. The boy had been reported missing after becoming separated from his parents and was at the monorail station for about 20 minutes before walking on the tracks. A guest noticed the boy and helped guide him to safety, while a man on a nearby rooftop jumped onto the monorail track to physically grab and carry the boy down. The boy was unharmed and safely reunited with his family shortly after the incident. Hersheypark expressed gratitude for the vigilance of guests and the swift response of their team, reaffirming their commitment to guest safety. The incident drew attention following a recent tragic death of a 9-year-old girl at the park, marking the first confirmed guest death in its 119-year history.
