Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio near Kings Island had a similar issue shortly after it opened....apparently too much chlorine was being used...and/or ventilation was insufficient.

That really sucks being that Six Flags really didn't need this right now but it sounds like they are doing everything in their power to make this right.  Now hopefully they can please a few of these frustrated guests and make them happy again to prevent the spread of poor word of mouth instead of this illness.
