Why did the kiddie pool at Pop Century change?

[Irishhockey]

Let me first say that this is not a recent change (at least I don't think so anyways lol) and was surprised to find a picture of the kiddie pool at pop that looked different from our experience this past January.

One thing I always loved about Pop was the zero-entry kiddie pool and fountains... and was surprised to find this picture when doing some research for future trips:

This is what I found on allears.net:

And this is what I experienced on my trip:

I do prefer the new pool as it is now, but was curious as to why they changed it and when they did it! With PC being so new I wasn't expecting that...

Any insight would be great...

I don't understand. They are the same.

It looks like they have added the yellow covers over the water jets. Not sure why they have made the change unless there was a problem with the water shooting out to hard for the little ones??

I don't understand. They are the same.

The first picture (which I think is older) shows yellow sprinkler covers with more of a water sprinkler effect...

The second picture has more of a pop-jet fountain that shoots up directly from the water which is much wider and stronger... no yellow coverings either...

I am thinking the water was too much for little ones?? I think my little ones will prefer the lower jets.

I think the yellow covers are the old photo, no?

We were there in October and January and it was as the OP experienced, pop jet type sprinklers with no covers.
