About 400 Sick After Six Flags Water Park Visit

QUEENSBURY, N.Y. (March 26) - The number of people reporting illnesses
after an outbreak of norovirus at an indoor water park in upstate New
York is approaching 400.

State health officials say 388 cases have been reported by people who
visited the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Water Park earlier
this month.

Health officials say two people were hospitalized and both have been
released.

Norovirus is characterized by acute gastrointestinal pain, vomiting
and diarrhea lasting one or two days. The illness is not considered
dangerous to the general public.

Four of the people infected and their families have filed a lawsuit
against the water park, which is about 50 miles north of Albany, the
state capital.

A Great Escape spokeswoman declined to comment, saying she couldn't
speak about pending litigation.
