The water amusement park was closed after a possible water contamination in the park.
Tremaine and Paris got up early with the rest of their family and got ready for a day they’ve been planning for a while.
“We stopped by the store we bought a keg, got snacks, got a bunch of water toys so they could have their water fights.
Paris, who was celebrating his birthday, says, “I was really looking forward to the day.
It was my first time at Water World.” Paris, like many others who showed up to Water World on Thursday, had to rethink his plans.
“A faulty valve was in the concession area,” said Water World spokeswoman Joann Cortez.
“In 39 years this has never happened to us.
As for Paris and his 10th birthday party, he says he was a little let down, “It disappoints me that it it’s closed because of the water contamination or whatever.” As the day got hotter, they quickly made a new plan to hit another water park, just in the nick of time.
