This is a first for me, and would be something I would never want to be part of. If you were tired of being in the water (laughing harder) you would not even want to start the "mission" to get out of the pool. Holly Crap.
Almost reminds me of the Wave Pool at Geauga Lake during the ACE 1988 Coaster Con. It was 102 degrees, and you could not see any water in the Wave Pool, just a bunch of "Heads"! :)
Was this some world record attempt? I can hardly believe anyone would want to be in a pool like this for "fun". *w*e*i*r*d* (what if one of these thousands wanted to go to the restroom?)
Good point. There are certainly a lot of swimming pool variations at water parks (lazy rivers, wave pools, play areas)...but no large calm areas where you can just swim.
I would hope it was some kind of record attempt, because even on the hottest of days I can't see that being an enjoyable experience. You couldn't get me into that kind of situation if you paid me.

Because you can go to your local public swimming pool if that is what you want. You go to a water park for something different from the ordinary.
Here in South Central PA a few of our local public pools that have several waterslides. They are pretty decent slides. They would be the equivalent to Knoebel's slides. Just about shorter in height. Not too bad for a public pool.
Several of them also have children's play areas similar to what you'd see at a waterpark. The one is very similar to the play area at Dorney with those mushroom looking water sprinklers. I am sure that the Harrisburg area isn't the only place this is happening at.
