Waterpark 'Erupts,' Sending
Guests Running
Saturday, March 31, 2007
DULUTH, Minn. — An imitation volcano in a hotel and water park's swimming pool developed delusions of grandeur, forcing guests to flee to the parking lot in their bare feet and swimsuits.
The 20-foot-tall plastic volcano at the Edgewater Hotel and Waterpark started belching black smoke and shooting flames Thursday. The hotel manager said a malfunctioning internal speaker ignited the fire.
Firefighters helped put out the fire, but not before part of the volcano melted.
