HH Closed Until Further Notice

[FRD714]

Well I was just watching the news and they said HH is closed until further notice because there is someting wrong with the water. Anybody else see this?

[RagingBullFan]

Just a FYI Hurricane Harbor closed on Friday and we've brought in water quality experts to assess the situation and come up with solutions.

[FRD714]

Oh ok. I just heard about it now. My dads like "they closed that new ride." But then I saw all of HH was closed.

[Trailblazer Tony]

What was wrong with it? Was it a chemical imbalance or was there something in the water? Does anyone know if it is back open again?

[jm2775]

Harbor was closed today also.

[Jackluver18]

^ i saw that too

[FParker185]

That's sorta odd.

But, at least they keep a good eye on that, I'd rather sit in a mass of people in the dry park rather than sustain chemical burns on a waterslide

Sucks though, I bet the regular park is packed now and will be like that tomorrow, another wonderful day at the park.

i saw it. they said it was being closed because four people have complained that they have gotten sick from being in the water supposely. There has been a lot of people there lately, and who knows what could be in that water....

[FRD714]

Yep, with fall right around the corner, who knows if HH will re-open. Theres not that many operating days left for the waterpark.

I heard it was because of e-coli. Not sure if thats the reason though.

It was NOT e-coli. Read the article linked below for a good explaination.

haha

Now that it's closed everyone that is suppose to be in HH is in the park, making it more crowded, but anyways I heard they were just testing the water, that's all I heard.

[rct2wizard360]

Hopefully it gets back up soon.

There must be A LOT of people at GR.

[HorseoftheDowrn]

When I went past it yesterday no one was on anything.

cryptosporidiosis

That SUCKS.

I don't know if anyone knows anybody who has had that bacteria, but about 10 years ago it survived in Lake Michigan near Milwaukee and there was quite the outbreak in the Milwaukee area, and my Dad caught it. Vomiting for days, and its said that it can randomly come back for days.

I don't nessarily understand the article, though. The fact that it still may be in the water at Six Flags is quite disturbing, I really hope the state makes sure its not in the water before they reopen.

I found out about it that morning.
With all the budget cuts, they probably ran out of chemicals for the water..

The article linked a few posts up clearly states that this bacteria is resistent to chlorine so chemicals have nothing to do with it. This bacteria is carried in by humans and has nothing to do with chemical level. This type of thing happens at public and private pools across the country every year.

They had a article about it in my local paper, it seems that they dont know where these kids caught it but shut down the water park as a precaution. In my city 100 people died and since the reports so far are only about these 4 people you wonder if they caught it elsewhere or many more would have been sick with this condition.

[diggerg56]

Hurricane Harbor did re-open this morning.

[highroller13]

It was open today, however I didn't see to many people there from the Bull lift.

[FRD714]

Well today wasnt exactly the warmest day ever.
