HERSHEY, Pa - On Sunday, the Kissing Tower ride at Hershey Park was temporarily halted.
According to a report by WGAL, the ride stopped on its descent and was manually lowered to the ground by the park team, per park safety procedures. All riders then exited safely.
A spokesperson told News 8 that the riders were not left hanging in the air for an extended period of time.
The attraction takes riders 250 feet to the top of Hershey, offering a 360-degree view of both the park and the town.
