Lost boy wandering elevated monorail line in Hersheypark is saved by another parkgoer

A guest and Hersheypark team members safely rescued a child who wandered onto secured monorail tracks; the child was unharmed and reunited with family within 23 minutes.

  • On Saturday, a child walked onto the Hersheypark Monorail tracks and was rescued after being reported missing around 5:05 p.m., a Hersheypark spokesperson said.
  • While team members searched, the boy entered a secured monorail area that was not in service, and the ride entrance was closed with a chained entrance and barricaded turnstile on Saturday.
  • Park visitors and a guest worked together to guide the child, with the guest climbing a snack-stand roof and then the monorail track to rescue him as onlookers directed him to a nearby roof where a man waited.
  • Hersheypark said its team reunited the child with his family and he sustained no injuries, and the Derry Township Police Department was not called as security usually resolves such cases.
  • Video provided to WGAL shows the boy walking on elevated monorail tracks while visitors gathered below, and the monorail was listed as closed on Hersheypark Queue Times webpage.
