Six Flags Great America closes water park following parasitic infection

Posted | Contributed by Carl

Six Flags Great America's year-old water park, Hurricane Harbor, was closed this weekend after two Wisconsin youths were sickened with the parasite Cryptosporidium and two more were sick and waiting to learn if they have the same illness. The park was closed voluntarily on Friday for precautionary water treatment; no evidence of the parasite has been found at Hurricane Harbor. The park re-opened Sunday.
