SANDUSKY, Ohio (WJW) – Video shows a wild surprise for some who visited Cedar Point Tuesday.

Justin Garcia, who was at the park with his family, captured the video above showing two camels outside their home at the park’s petting zoo.

One camel appears to get spooked and jumps a few times close to some of the park guests.

Here’s what Cedar Point had to say about it:

“Last night, the camels decided to take an unplanned stroll just outside their home at The Barnyard,” said Cedar Point’s Tony Clark. “We’re looking into how they made it to the midway.”

Garcia said he’d just gotten off a ride when they saw the camels.

“We were almost trampled by two massive mammals,” Garcia said. “We put some space in between us and watched the aftermath of what could have been a very dangerous situation.”

No one was hurt, according to Clark.

The Barnyard is located along Frontier Trail in Cedar Point. There are several farm animals, including cows, sheep, goats, piglets, donkeys and more.
