A family of four were passing the information desk on the water slides by The Dome on their way out of the park, when a teenage boy in a group waiting in line for a water slide, began to spit at them.
The parents were concerned their daughter was deliberately targeted by the boys, because she had a shaved head due to her cancer treatment.
The four suspects have been described as 17 year-old boys, all around 5’8” tall.
The boy who spat on the girl was described as being Mediterranean.
He had curly black hair, the parents said, and was wearing a black T-shirt.
According to the parents’ description, the other boys were white. One had short blonde hair and was wearing a black T-shirt and grey tracksuit bottoms.
