Riders were evacuated from Hersheypark's Comet roller coaster on Sunday, 7 September, days after a boy scaled a monorail at the theme park.

It came after a young boy walking along an elevated monorail at the Pennsylvania park was rescued by a bystander on Saturday, 30 August.

A Hersheypark spokesperson told The Independent: “There were no mechanical or operational issues whatsoever with Comet.

“The Comet experienced a brief, temporary stoppage that was unrelated to the ride itself and stemmed from a guest disturbance on the platform. The ride and our team members performed exactly as designed.

“In line with our standard protocols, our team safely assisted guests back to the station without incident, and the ride resumed normal operation.”
