This is the best summary I could come up with:
Firefighters battled the blaze at Sweden's largest amusement park, in the western city of Gothenburg, for the third day in a row on Wednesday.
"The construction is burning, and we can't enter some parts of the building to fight the fire because the risk of collapse is too great," Gothenburg emergency services said in a statement.
The fire broke out Monday at the Oceana water park in the southwestern Swedish city of Gothenburg, which was still under construction.
Images from Monday showed exploding fireballs as flames and several explosions tore through a water slide and a plume of black smoke rose over the city.
According to the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, the Oceana water park, with a 10,000-square-meter (108,000 square-foot) pool area, was scheduled to open in mid-June.
A total of 14 rides are almost ready, and the pools began filling with water in mid-January, the paper reported.
