The park said that a mobile pool that was part of a “high-diving show” cracked during the show and the water flowed into an attraction called Atlantica SuperSplash. It said that one guest was slightly grazed but other visitors to the park were not affected.
It was unclear who the other three injured people were. The attraction was set to reopen quickly.

The park is a popular tourist attraction that drew more than 6 million visitors last year, mostly from Germany, France and Switzerland.
It has areas with themes based on different European countries, and three based on fantasy settings. The park also hosts conferences and is a popular venue for events and television productions.
In June, a large fire broke out at the park, prompting its evacuation. Two firefighters were lightly injured but no visitors were harmed in that incident. (AP)
