An unruly black crowd shuts down Nashville water park.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Nearly two dozen police officers were called out to Wave Country on Monday afternoon after large crowds of people became unruly. The disturbance forced park managers to close the facility two hours early on Memorial Day.

Metro Parks director Tommy Lynch said Wave Country was nowhere near capacity, but there were plenty of problems that caused the park to close early.

"Once we got to the point that the turmoil at the front of the facility also got inside the facility, we felt for everyone's safety the best thing to do was to close it," Lynch explained.

Metro Police were called out to Wave Country around 1 p.m. because the crowd outside the gates and inside the park was acting up.

"That crowd refused to follow any kind of instructions. They became disorderly," according to Cpt. Marlene Pardue from Metro Police.

There were several fights inside. Police said one of the biggest problems was people jumping the fence to get into the park, creating chaos inside the park.

"Not just kids jumping the fence, but adults, with children and strollers, putting them over the fence, then jumping the fence," Cpt. Pardue said.

Visitors inside the park said the chaos made them feel unsafe.

"Hundreds of people were just jumping over the fence. Almost trampled my kids. I just didn't feel safe," Heather Nowack explained.

Park managers said this is the first time in 30 years they have had to close Wave Country because the crowd became uncontrollable.

"The heat, the crowd, the behavior. Everything just coming together at the wrong time and you just ended up with a mess here," said Cpt. Pardue.

Visitors who paid to go to Wave Country and want to be compensated for the early closing can contact Metro Parks to see if it will be possible to get passes for another trip to the park.

  • HAHAHAHA niggers

  • Liberal media!! So an unruly crowd of black people is now coded an "urban crowd". Give me a break. Start calling it what it is and stop bowing to the NAACP, etc...etc... and maybe then things will get back to somewhat normal.

  • ok i have read these hare-brained comments below. my question is if the unruly crowd, were white folk would they, be perceived the same way??

  • Niggers absolutely ruin everything they touch.

  • A Nig has gots to Nog

  • >urban crowd

  • Looks like something that a Truck Load of Gators could have handled.

  • If you are white and go there, you are OUT OF YOUR MIND. It's game over for that place just like anywhere else where blacks infest.

  • @troyshereforu "WOW, what happened to Wave Country it use to be mostly white people that went there."

    You answered your own question. It is a known and proven fact that anywhere the nigger infestation migrates to is from then on completely worthless to all civilized human beings. However no one that has the real power to do anything will admit this, the jnews wont call it what it is, and white people keep moving further out. Something will have to give soon, or the white race is doomed.

  • Wow they ruin everything!!!

  • WOW, what happened to Wave Country it use to be mostly white people that went there. I use to take my niece and nephew there a lot a few summers ago and never saw that many black people. There's so many black people there you could make a "TARZAN MOVIE" .....
