Well, this is terrifying. But I'm glad it has a happy ending.

A small boy at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania got away from his parents, climbed onto the track of the monorail in the theme park and went for a precarious stroll.

That was frightening!

From WGAL:

In a statement released to WGAL News 8, a spokesperson for Hersheypark said the child was reported missing around 5:05 p.m. after becoming separated from his parents.

While the Hersheypark team was searching, the child entered a secured area for the monorail and remained there for almost 20 minutes before briefly walking along the track.

The monorail was not in operation and the ride was chained off when the child walked on the tracks, according to the park.

The guy who hopped up on the building then onto the track to grab the kid is a certified American hero.
