Waterworld refutes claims tragic girl, 4, was in wave pool
Waterworld has refuted claims that a four-year-old girl who died had been in the wave pool. Staffordshire Police were called to reports of a four-year-old girl in a critical condition following an incident at Waterworld at Festival Park on Monday, August 8. The girl was treated at the scene before being taken to hospital where she later died of her injuries. According to reports, the incident took place in the lagoon area of the park. Other parents have since come forward to say their children got into difficulty in the wave pool. However, Waterworld has confirmed no waves were operating at the time of the tragedy.

We confirm that this incident did not take place in the Wave Pool, nor were the waves on at the time. "We have worked in full cooperation with the authorities during their investigations, resulting in them permitting Waterworld to re pen as normal from Wednesday August 6. Waterworld welcomes around 250,000 visitors per year and, as you can imagine, our safety procedures are extremely rigorous. "In relation to your quoted visitor's comments about the Wave Pool… An audible siren sounds every time the waves are about to start and the waves build up gradually after the siren. The only entrance to the Wave Pool is via the shallow end, with a sloped beach entry, giving guests full visibility and discretion over whether to enter with their children. "Safety has always been, and will remain, our top priority so that every visitor can enjoy their time at Waterworld Aqua Park." Police have yet to confirm the cause of death and have asked the public to avoid speculation on social media. Get daily headlines and breaking news emailed to you - it's FREE
