Popular tourist destination Waterworld in Stoke is still shut after over 100 people were evacuated from the centre on Wednesday June 8. Staffordshire Police, West Midlands Ambulance Service, an air ambulance, and Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service were called to the incident at around 2pm yesterday. But Waterworld described the emergency response as a 'huge over-reaction' and 'incredibly distressing for our customers and our staff'.
Two people were taken to hospital and 46 treated at the scene, in Festival Park, after visitors reported 'eye and throat irritation and nausea'. Bosses also said that emergency services inspected the venue yesterday and 'found nothing of concern'. It remains closed today 'as a matter of precaution', reports Stoke on Trent Live.
