Hersheypark Monorail Scare: Young Boy Rescued After Wandering Onto Closed Track

A young boy was safely rescued after being found walking along an elevated monorail track at Hersheypark in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, August 30, 2025. The dramatic incident, captured on bystander video, unfolded after the child became separated from his parents just after 5 p.m. ET.

According to park officials, the monorail ride was closed and barricaded at the time. The boy reportedly entered a secured area and remained at the closed station for about 20 minutes before briefly stepping onto the track. A vigilant guest quickly noticed the child and, with the assistance of another bystander, climbed to the track to guide him to safety, lowering him back to the ground.

Hersheypark team members responded immediately, and the child was safely reunited with his family by approximately 5:28 p.m., unharmed. The park expressed gratitude for the quick actions of both guests and staff, reaffirming their commitment to maintaining the highest levels of guest safety.

This incident follows closely on the heels of another safety concern at the park, where a 9-year-old girl drowned in the Hersheypark wave pool just over a month ago. That death was ruled accidental, with police concluding the park upheld safety standards.
