Watch: Animals run loose from Cedar Point petting zoo
SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) – Three of Cedar Point's four-legged residents went for a run after getting out of the park's petting zoo on Friday.
According to a Cedar Point spokesperson, 'this morning, three alpacas from The Barnyard were observed walking along the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad tracks.'
As seen above, a park guest captured video of the three animals running by the stopped train.

Park officials said their pens had been unlocked by a third-party operator during cleaning. The animals were quickly returned to The Barnyard, park officials said.
This isn't the first time animals were caught on camera running loose at Cedar Point. Last June, as FOX 8 previously reported, two camels were seen outside of the petting zoo, becoming spooked by nearby guests. The next week, videos showed goats outside of their habitat.
