A Pennsylvania man is being hailed as a hero after quickly rescuing a young boy who had wandered onto an elevated monorail track at Hersheypark over the weekend.
A video circulating online shows a child standing on the track of the Capital BlueCross Monorail, an elevated ride that provides an audio tour of the amusement park. The track sits at least 20 feet above the ground.
A child reported missing around 5 p.m. after becoming separated from his parents was later found on the track of a ride that was not operating that day, Hershey Entertainment & Resorts said in a statement.
“While our team was actively searching, the child entered a secured area for the Monorail,” a spokesperson for the company said, adding that the ride “was closed and safeguarded by a chained closure at the entrance and barricaded turnstile at the platform.”
