Swedish water park fire still burning after 3 days
(www.dw.com)
(In an Irish accent) “A fire?! At a water park!?”
That's right. At the sea lion show, apparently.
The water's infected, with fire!

Oh the irony
To add another level: It looks quite irony now, since all the plastics burned away!
I live in this city and am sad I won't be able to go there this summer :(
It has been worked on for quite some time and was set to open this year.
It might not open at all depending on how much money they lost
I hope the insurance covers it :(
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.

Had to double check this is not a TheOnion article.
