At Least 10 Kids Report Breathing Issues At Pa. Water Park

POCONO SUMMIT, Pa. (AP) - Officials say about 10 children were sickened at an indoor Pennsylvania water park complaining of breathing problems and nausea.

Parents tell WNEP-TV their kids rode the Anaconda and exited the water coaster coughing and having trouble breathing. The ride is described as a "fast and furious, up and down" coaster that features "gushing geysers that blast throughout the ride for added excitement."

Kalahari officials say in a statement the incident was isolated to a single attraction, and officials shut down that ride.

They say "every attraction has been tested to ensure regulations are not only met but exceeded."
