YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Eager riders were let down after they had to be evacuated off of the oldest rollercoaster at Hersheypark due to an “off-ride guest issue” that made the cars stop in its tracks. The Comet, a 75-year-old wooden coaster, came to a halt around 5 p.m. on Sunday after an unspecified issue forced a shutdown in the middle of the thrill ride. It’s been a turbulent summer for the beloved Pennsylvania amusement park, as just last week, one lost child bizarrely wound up on the monorail line and had to be rescued by a quick-thinking dad who scaled a concession stand to reach the frazzled boy.
