Minor Park Incidents

I was on 60 headed 64 and witnessed Multiple fire engines, ambulances and EMT, and police vehicles heading in full lights and sirens. Could not see anything from the road but this was NOT normal emergency vehicle activity. I am also seeing several post on FB mentioning something occurring but no details. It doesn't sound good.

I am hearing that a guest had a mental breakdown and jumped off the bridge to go swimming to see Nessie. So it appears not to be as bad as it first appeared.

That’s what we heard. Also can confirm that it had nothing to do with staff or rides. It was an isolated incident.

why would you EVER jump in that water?

It seems like it was the Ireland bridge.

If I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first jumper the park has encountered.

Didn't someone jump of the Finnegan's platform into the same ditch last year during HOS

Yeah, something like that. It’s a semi-common occurrence honestly.

I wouldn't jump in that water; there are snakes in there... really badass ones.

Honestly I would be more worried about snapping turtles.

Rightfully so. From this evening:

I'd be more concerned about Nessie.

This story had a bit more info:

“Charged at me, grabbed a hold of my pants leg, able to fight it off with just a little warning," Travis Vice said. "Ended up throwing the fox back at the cabin and bush area, it came back a third time," he explained.

Sounds like it probably happened around the new france area maybe?
