Kings Dominion says the incident, which is being described as a “minor physical altercation,” was quickly halted by the security team. Deputies and patrols removed the group from the park within two hours.
There were no arrests made, but the park says those involved have been banned from the park. At no point were there any weapons used or found, according to authorities.
“You can’t say it’s anybody’s fault, but the mentality of this young group of people, and some of them are adults,” said Sgt. Steve Wills. “So we need parents’ intervention. We need people to teach their kids how to behave appropriately in public.”
The park issued the following statement:
On Saturday, September 21, rides and outdoor attractions in the park temporarily shut down due to inclement weather. A minor physical altercation occurred among some juveniles seeking refuge in the park’s Candy Apple Grove area, but was quickly halted by the security team and parties involved were subsequently banned from the park. Normal operations resumed once the weather cleared the area. At no point were any weapons used or found to be inside the park.
