I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.
Surprised this is the first I've heard of this as an Orlando resident.

My wife and I were there that day.
As early as 11am they had the a section of the park closed off and the Aqua Coaster closed.
Around 4:30 we saw emergency vehicles pulling in an entrence.
By 5:30 they were closing everything and getting people out of the park.

Not exactly related, but what do they do when someone pukes in the water at a water park? Happened yesterday at my gym's pool, whole thing was closed for an hour at least.
My friend found a dead rat in a water park we went to as teens, in the river ride. He chucked it out by a lifeguard's chair and the lifeguard put a cone over it.
Water parks are generally just gross.
Not to much all the pee and poo particles. People do not wipe their asses very well, kids especially.
Superchlorinate/brominate.
Edit: Public and commercial pools or water features are required to have a sustained elevated level of sanitizer in the water at all times. The the flip side of that is that strong chlorine smell you catch at pools or parks. That's gas emitting from chloramines attached to/breaking down the bacteria in the water.
Go swimming in a watering hole. Nothing nasty ever happened there.
Eh, unless the shock was very serious, like they needed actual medical attention you wouldn't do that. Otherwise anyone could just be like - 'welp I felt a shock um over there' and the whole park is closed. May as well not have a park if every prankster knows you'll close the whole thing down after 1 or 2 reports.
Being shocked while in the water I understand. But someone was shocked while walking on the pavement, too?
That response is pretty shite
I thought it was reasonably straight-forward, unless there were some details that were left out?
I mean, you realize it only takes one story where a whole water park was closed by 1 report for shitty people to get the idea to do this?
Wet pavement, I'm guessing. Sounds like some weird widespread grounding issue.
I'm no friend of water parks in general.
Brain eating amoebe, electrocutions, sketchy water slides etc etc
The docu I saw about the "Action Park" (lol) in NJ feels like straight out of a Roger Corman movie.
