Investigators believe a chemical vapor release caused dozens to feel sick at Splashtown water park
More than 80 people were treated by first responders Saturday after a chemical issue at Splashtown
SPRING, Texas - Hurricane Harbor Splashtown remains closed as officials investigate what caused dozens of people to get sick there Saturday afternoon. It was pretty hectic, said Kishia Lee. A little scary. They didn’t want to incite panic, but panic ended up happening. This is not something you ever expect at a family waterpark on a Saturday afternoon.
Lee had been at the water park with her young children. The mother doesn’t believe they were exposed to the chemicals, but admits she isn’t sure.
