These outbreaks are becoming more and more common, not sure if there is anything the park could have done. They happen on cruises frequently. There was even an outbreak at a local dog agility competition.
Yeah, unless it can be proven that the park itself is unsanitary, I'm not sure what responsibility the park has for something like this. Much like a community pool, I think you have to assume a certain amount of risk when you attend a water park. All that has to happen is for one person who is ill to attend and an epidemic is possible.
