Over 50 kids and teenagers have been charged for a massive brawl that broke out during Hersheypark’s opening day, which forced families to shield their children and hide under tables.
Fifty-five people, including 53 minors, whose ages range between 12 and 19, had been involved in multiple fights across the iconic Pennsylvania theme park on April 3, the Derry Township Police Department announced Monday.
The mob was accused of both misdemeanor and felony offenses.
Officials said two different groups, “Group A and Group B,” were caught on security footage arguing in one section of the park before the clash turned physical, blowing up into a full-out brawl just after 6:51 p.m. — just over an hour before closing time.
Police were called to help security break up the “large fight” near the family-friendly Trailblazer coaster.
The dueling groups were separated before meeting up again at a food court, forcing families to hide under tables and flee the area, PennLive reported, citing court documents.
Witnesses told the police the brawl included 50 to 60 teenagers.
One of the fights had spilled over to near one of the roller coasters, where at least a dozen youngsters grappled and punched each other as a large crowd gathered around them filming the fracas next to the roller coaster tracks, according to video posted online.
The violent squabble forced park staff to shut down the coaster.
“These actions caused serious inconvenience to Hersheypark staff and patrons of the park. This caused an emergency stop to the Skyrush ride,” officers said in court records viewed by the outlet.

Off topic a bit. But Six Flags America near Washington DC closed down. That place had a reputation for drawing a pretty rough crowd.
Some people off the record said the clientele and crowd control issues led to the decision to shut it down.
There are passionate debates on these issues.....
Happened on April 3! What have the authorities been doing in the meantime...thinking about charging??? Were they arrested and waiting for charges? Why do we always have to fill in the blanks?
A LOVELY FAMILY PARK TIRNED INTO ANOTHER GREAT ADVENTURE
One of the three adults charged was named Quaneek Williams. These funny names the Amish come up with for their kids.
Why would a decent family want to go to a park like Hershey dominated by wild animal thugs ?
Just read an article that Hersheypark announced today they are CLOSING.
Sad.
I’m moving this month to a county with a 1% black population.
Very much on purpose.
Them again. Them always. Them everywhere.
53 minors, whose ages range between 12 and 19, had been involved in multiple fights.
Things you can tell those who say they were no good old days like the 50’s.
It closed for the same reason that the Springfield Mall closed and was demolished many years before the whole concept of a "Mall" became obsolete.
Mods and Rockers! (dating myself)
gee.... what demographic group do the “teenagers” belong to .
