"I think it could change someone's perception. Particularly, if there are a little uptight or embarrassed about toilet or toilet habits, because this makes you laugh," 42-year-old tourist from the United State, Malissa Sheets - Nygard said.

More than 20,000 guests have passed through the park so far. Exploring the truth about the call of nature. And you can bet one way or another, they're getting to the bottom of it.
