Six Flags Cedar Point spokesperson Tony Clark mentioned that due to a third party operator who was cleaning the petting area at The Barnyard zoo when the operator unlocked the fence most likely by accident when the three alpacas went walking by the train tracks located inside the zoo grounds.
The good news is that zoo officials were able to be returned to their pens before someone could get hurt.
I have no idea if the employee who opened the fence so that the employee could clean the pen was terminated or not by zoo officials.

It seems that this was while the zoo was open to the public, and it was good that nobody was hurt, as alpacas can kick rather hard, when someone surprises them. I have heard that they will also spit on someone to keep them away too.

I did not know that the behaviors of alpacas spitting on someone in self defense.

Alpacas are cool. I'm glad they were returned safely.

@Deepizzaguy We used to have an alpaca farm nearby. It was fun to see them all outside when we'd go by.
