flightoffear1996 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I wonder if it has something to do with massive amounts of chemicals and the fact that its indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIBeast Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It said in the 2nd article you posted that it could be fatal to diabetic children as it may dehydrate them quicker. As they say, "There must be something in the water." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 This is probably the same thing that GWL went through, and being someone who worked as a lifeguard there... I know how it feels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 So Nemo, what exactly happened at GWL? I must have missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Many people (both people staying at the lodge and water park employees) became sick with symptoms such as rashes, nausea, asthma, and vomiting. This seems to happen at indoor water parks. I came down with cold like symptoms every week and sometime would wake up in the night with my eyes burning. I believe the lodge has fixed this problem.

Browntggrr Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 ^ I'm not saying that the park should not be held responsible for this particular incident, but, what a weasel like comment from the lawyer referring to the incidents involving cruiseships. Talk about planting a seed. Many people (both people staying at the lodge and water park employees) became sick with symptoms such as rashes, nausea, asthma, and vomiting. This seems to happen at indoor water parks. I came down with cold like symptoms every week and sometime would wake up in the night with my eyes burning. I believe the lodge has fixed this problem. Do you happen to know what did GWL do to fix the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted June 12, 2009 Author Share Posted June 12, 2009 Judge: Lawsuit against Six Flags' Great Escape can proceed: A lawsuit filed against the Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Water Park in Queensbury, N.Y., after hundreds of people became ill last year can proceed as a class action, a judge has ruled, according to attorneys for the plaintiffs. A state Supreme Court judge in Warren County issued the ruling June 8, the attorneys said. Potential damages could exceed $6 million, according to attorneys at DeGraff, Foy & Kunz, LLP, and Dreyer Boyajian, LLP, in Albany. The lawsuit contends nearly 600 people contracted norovirus at the park in March 2008 due to unsanitary conditions in the indoor water park's restaurants and other facilities.... I should mention that in New York State, the Supreme Court is a local trial court, not the state's appellate court... http://www.bizjournals.com/albany/stories/...08/daily41.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
