SEVERAL guests have been injured while riding a damaged water slide at Center Parcs.
Disaster struck when visitors staying at the Sherwood Forest site, in Nottingham, went on the Wild Water Rapids.
On-site medics treated a “small number” of people who needed first aid in the Subtropical Swimming Paradise area.
They suffered minor injuries and the water ride was shut down to allow for an investigation.
It is understood the chaos was sparked after the rapids had “sustained some damage”.
However, the fast-flowing attraction was re-opened to guests at around midday today.
A spokesperson said: “A small section of the Wild Water Rapids at Sherwood Forest sustained some damage yesterday and was closed as a precaution, following further investigation.
“A small number of guests sustained minor injuries and were treated on site by our first aid teams.
“The outside pool and the majority of the Wild Water Rapids reopened to guests from midday today.”
This comes after we reported how two people were rushed to hospital after a toboggan ride malfunctioned at another popular UK park.
Emergency services raced to the scene at Pembrey Country Park in Carmarthenshire, South Wales on Sunday night.
The toboggan ride was shut following the crash that saw two people rushed to hospital.
One eyewitness told WalesOnline that two toboggans smashed into each other after the ride malfunctioned.
He added that he heard screaming coming from the track while queuing for the ride himself.
Dyfed-Powys Police were called by the ambulance service at around 8.25pm on Sunday evening.
The condition of those taken to hospital currently remains unclear.
