"Eventually, a park guest climbed onto the rail to rescue the boy."
Where the heck is park security? Isn't someone monitoring CCTV considering the type of rides and the number of guests?
and
"After the boy was spotted on the tracks, park officials immediately responded and reunited the child, who was unharmed, with his parents around 5:30 p.m."
Uh, no its seems like a "park guest" rescued the boy! 
and
"We are grateful for the vigilance of our guests and the swift response of our team, and we remain committed to maintaining the highest levels of guest safety throughout Hersheypark," officials said in the statement."
If that's their "highest level of guest safety" then they need to re-evaluate their plan or re-write their press release.
