LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police were called to Kentucky Kingdom twice over the weekend for fights in the parking lot.

The amusement park said a large group of unaccompanied minors were ushered out of the park around 5 p.m. Saturday for violating the guest code of conduct.

And then around 6 p.m., officers with the Louisville Metro Police Department responded to fights breaking out in the parking lot of the Kentucky Exposition Center. Two girls were cited and then released to their parents.

At about 7:30 p.m., LMPD said another group was fighting in the parking lot but mostly dispersed before officers arrived.

No injuries were reported.

Kentucky Kingdom released the following statement:

Kentucky Kingdom confirms on Saturday May 15 around 5pm a large group of unaccompanied minors exhibited behavior that violated our guest code of conduct. As the safety of all guests and employees is our top priority, the individuals in question were promptly ushered out of the park.

The group congregated off grounds in the adjacent Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) parking lot where KEC security and Louisville Metro Police Department responded.

We are saddened by the behavior exhibited from these guests and affirm that it is not aligned with our values or consistent with the positive guest experience at Kentucky Kingdom.
