Great Escape Into World of Vomit

When we first read about people getting sick at the Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Water Park, we were drawn to the comments that followed the story.   There we learned that people with getting sick within four hours of checking-in.   One couple told of the fact that the facility had so many people vomiting, that it was out of towels!

The mystery illness is looking more and more like norovirus.  New York officials have linked the Great Escape to the illnesses of nearly 200 people and more than 300 have called the department's hotline to report symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting after visiting the resort, or to get information.

The Glen Falls Post Star Friday (3/21/08) reported that:

The Department of Health suspects a norovirus is to blame for the sickness, but officials are still awaiting laboratory test results to confirm that.

The same story adds lot's detail into the Great Escape horror story.  It can be found here.

who do I talk to about the legal aspects of the great vomitfest of 2008. I wanted to report my knee problem due to tripping over the bags laying all over, and also my oldest grandson has been ill since swimming in the lazy river. I have sent a couple of email to the lodge, including one today to make them aware of my situation but I do not expect them to reply so I thought I would see how every else is doing. It is funny how I made my reservation by phone on the 19th and was so shocked they had a room available. I booked it right away. They said nothing to me about anything going on or I would not have let my three grandchildren near the water let alone make the reservation anyway. I do hope everyone is ok. I feel like we all know were not treated as we should have been and informed that this was going on WHEN I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH A WORKER MAKING RESERVATIONS FOR THE VERY NEXT DAY. IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE OR WHAT.
