I was at Great Adventure and I came out of the bathroom when I saw a handful of people standing around in a small comotion. They said they heard a child crying coming from over the fence & in the Congo River Rapids Ride. The ride wasn't running so it was just a big empty ravine (where the water usually goes). I immediately hopped the fence and I saw what must've been a 2 or 3 year old boy caught in the ravine. I jumped down into the ravine which was about 6 feet, and I lifted the boy out. He didn't seem hurt, but he was crying & in a state of shock. I climbed out myself. I was asking him where his mom or dad was, I don't think the boy spoke English, or he was just too scared. I brought him to a security guard & told him what happened, and that was kind of the end of it. Except for the fact that I keep wondering how the kid got in there, how'd he get through the fence & into the ride track? What if the ride was running, he would've drowned or got crushed by the boats. What if they started testing the ride with the boy stuck in there? How long was he stuck in there crying & why the small group of people didn't do anything? Anyway, the boy is fine I guess, but this whole event is gonna stick in my head for a bit........... 🙂
