“Scary! If someone went under and was struggling, no one would notice,” one person mentioned, while another noted: “You can't tell me that someone in there isn't drowning or scared.”
Ever since the viral photo, the park has started to limit the number of tourists as a result of the cramped swimming pool, while staff have advised tourists to visit instead during off-peak times.
