SHAKOPEE, Minn. — Several guests were removed from the parking lot at Valleyfair Monday night due to "unruly behavior and altercations," according to a spokesperson with the amusement park.
A Valleyfair official confirmed in a released statement that one juvenile was transported to an area hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.
"We have zero tolerance for this kind of behavior as the safety of our guests and associates is always our top priority," a statement from a Valleyfair spokesperson read, in part.
Shakopee police told KARE 11 Tuesday morning that no one was arrested in connection with the disturbance. It's unclear what led up to the altercation, but officials are urging anyone with information to contact investigators.
Prior to the season, officials with Valleyfair implemented a chaperone policy after they noticed an increase in "unruly and inappropriate behavior" in the industry over the past two years.
The new policy requires everyone 15 or younger to be accompanied by someone age 21 or older to gain admission or stay in the park after 4 p.m. That chaperone has to present a valid, government-issued photo ID at ticket entry.
At this point it's unclear the age of the people involved in Monday's incident.
