Hersheypark opening weekend fights.

Outrageous. This is why people can’t have nice things. Get ready to hear “curfew” and “chaperones” real soon. I won’t be visiting this park anytime soon.

I think an altercation can break out anywhere. I don't plan to ever go to Hershey simply because it's not Disney or Universal.

Hershey is close enough to me that I could go if I wanted but I don't have any desire to go there. Disney is my happy place.

Absolutely agree - can happen anywhere. Even happens at Disney and Universal sometimes. It's not the park, it's the people.....

I second this. You can be in a place as tame as Disney… incidents still happen.

I almost saw one of those legendary Disney fights when I was in Paris. We were at the Agrabah Cafe, which is buffet style, and, well, they don't really have a set direction and such for getting food. I don't really know what happened, but I think one guy unwittingly cut in front of this other guy, and, man, he laid into him! I couldn't understand the language, but he was really yelling and I thought he was going to hit the guy. He didn't, and eventually walked away. The other guy did seem shaken though. I really don't know what happened, but it was about as tense as I've ever seen it at a Disney Park! I've seen a few arguemnts/adult meltdowns before, but there never seemed to be a threat of actual violence, but this was different.

I agree with previous posters. A group of rowdy teenagers got into a fight. Park security handled it appropriately, police were called in, and those involved were ejected from the park and/or arrested. I wouldn’t judge the park on what seems like an isolated incident. Haven’t been there in years, but my family always enjoyed Hersheypark.

This isn't Hersheypark's fault and this sort of thing doesn't happen very often. I've been going there once a year since I moved to Pennsylvania and I've never felt unsafe there.

It's a shame. The park can't control who comes in.
