How Did He Get There?
According to Hershey Entertainment & Resorts, the child had been accidentally separated from his parents and managed to enter a secured area of the ride, which was fortunately not operational at the time. “While our team was actively searching, the child entered a secured area… The ride was closed and safeguarded by chained closures and barricades,” a spokesperson told NBC News.
