QUEENSBURY — More than 40 additional people have, according to this story, joined a lawsuit against Six Flag’s Great Escape Lodge and Indoor Waterpark.
Lawyer John Aretakis filed a summons of his notice to sue Great Escape at the Warren County Supreme Court today. More than half of the plaintiffs in the suit are children.
Great Escape had an outbreak of the Norwalk virus in March. Between March 3 and March 22, more than 500 people fell ill. The virus causes vomiting, diarrhea and a fever. No deaths were reported.
DeGraff, Foy & Kunz, a Saratoga Springs law firm, and Dreyer Boyajian, an Albany law firm, have also filed law suits against the amusement park.
