ORLANDO, Fla. — Universal Studios' Volcano Bay reopened Thursday after several guests and employees complained about feeling “shocks” over the weekend, prompting the company to temporarily close the water park, officials said.
A representative for the park said guests felt shocks and other similar sensations while at the park Sunday.
A small number of lifeguards said they also had the same sensations and asked to go to the hospital, but they were quickly released, officials said.

Officials said none of the park’s guests asked to go to the hospital and the entire park was closed “out of an abundance of caution.”
The park worked with OUC to determine the cause of the electrical problem, which park officials believe has been resolved, according to a release.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration was at the park Wednesday, according to a release.
“We know it is disturbing to feel any level of shock in a water park,” according to a press release. “We definitely understand and want you to know that the safety - and trust - of our guests and team members is vital to us. Everything we do is motivated by their safety. And that was the case on Sunday.”
