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.

Ah more Proust debates!
No need to look. Scott Adams lives.
“Fifty-five people, including 53 minors...”
Canadian trash
At the end of the day they are all really group “N”.
the greasers and the socs
Yogi? Is it them?
Those wacky Pennsylvania. Always doing the Daily Brawl Polka no matter what the weather.
Some of the argument heard just before the fracas:
“That is unwise! The judicial power should be independent of the legislative branch! Else they will be controlled by the legislators!”
“But if the judges exceed their apportioned powers, there is no one to stop them. This will clearly lead to judicial tyranny!”
It’s just opening day. Got a whole summer of fun left to go. Make popcorn and avoid the jungle parks.
LOL....back to reality. The real argument was who dissed who.
Not necessarily. A lot of times these brawls ARE the parents.
Must have been chocolate day at hersey park.
The Amish (Groups A and B) are out of control here in Pennsylvania.
Good one!
Hersheypark allows minors under 18 to enter the park without an accompanying adult.
Stupid is as stupid does.
