shirtless in parks-how do you feel
I know my opinion will be VERY unpopular here but being a libertarian I know my ideoligical ideas are always unpopular . I say if the park is gonna allow people to go around without shirts than EVERYONE should be able to go around without shirts and that includes women. I don't say that in the interest of gawking, I say that in the interest of women's rights.
Another Libertarian! My kinda guy! :-) Oh hell, I would walk around topless in a heartbeat....but only in a waterpark. lol.

<-------who is now visualizing Cedar Point full of guests......who are all male strippers. Sweet!
Next question: Would the women of the board allow THESE guys to walk around dressed like THIS in the park -- http://www.pbase.com/intenserides/male_strippers
LOL! I didn't realize you had a picture with me. ;)

This goes for not only undressed people but other people such as "Goth, Drag, etc." the parks both informed me.
Obviously you haven't been to Cedar Point lately. Goths run wild and at certain times of the year (Father's Day just to name one) Drag queens are running rampant through the park. I've seen at least 200 drag queens on coasters.
I would much rather just say that everyone should wear a shirt while inside the park. Since you can't limit the shirtlessness to just the attractive people and no one really wants to see a fat guy/girl walking around with no shirt on, it's just better to have everyone fully clothed.
I keep forgetting about.... those.....pics..........heh. :-P

I would have no problem if everyone was buff and had "ideal" bodies walking around without shirts at parks.
I feel that it is unfair to say that some people can and some people can't wear shirts because of the way they look. Personally, I'm for everyone wearing a shirt, and not because of being afraid of nudity or anything like that, but I don't want to sit where someone(of any size) has just sweated on.
I think its superficial and rude to say that you think some people should and some shouldn't, those are inside thoughts you keep in your head, or tell your close friends, but thats just me:).
Yeah, that sounds fun. :)
BUT, it may bother others, and that's why parks have the no shirt rules. What may bother one may not bother the other.
It gets hot outside sometimes. I find that a wet T-shirt keeps me cooler on a hot day than no shirt at all. I have walked around for a short time without a shirt at a park before, although I do try to respect the parks rules as much as possible.
Funny story about Bill Speign (SP?) when I was working at CP in 2000. I was running Peanuts 500 at Camp Snoopy when I noticed near me that an adult was really tearing into a little boy, around 10 or 12, to put on his shirt. I glanced over to see who the very angry man was and it was-you guessed it-Bill Speign (SP,once again?)
The cute little kid was almost in tears, and his mom had her jaw dropped in disbelief. She reached her son his shirt, without even taking her eyes off of Bill. While the kid was putting on his shirt, Bill turned around to yell at the next park guest for something, and continued through CS. I found it unbelievable. It seemed that he was blowing off steam; directing it at the park guests. I would have rather he yelled at me that day after seeing that nice kid go from having a happy day to crying. Poor kid.
(Let me be fair to Bill. He was, like a lot of times, haveing a bad day that day, and yelling at anyone within earshot. He isn't always like that though. I have also witnessed him in a very pleasant mood, even trying to smile. It's about 50/50.)
Sorry that I got a little off topic there. I didn't mean to.

Just to be different I'm going to suggest that everyone should be naked and sweating on each other all the time and everywhere.Yeah, that sounds fun.
so, you want me, danny, gator, jeff, moosh, dawn marie, tina, and everyone else to be naked and sweat on you?
sick. Just sick.
And about the guy that worked @ CP yelling @ a customer, as a manager, I know that that should NEVER happen. Never ever ever. not to an employee and not to a customer. No one needs to yell when they are in a bad mood. Only when People are being stupid, and even then its debatable

Just another weekend for ol' Gonch ;)
But yes I agree...when it's time to ride, it's time to put the shirts back on. Seems to work well at the NJ piers.
Thanks for putting those visuals in my head, Clint! I am going to have nightmares about sweaty, naked coaster people at Gonch's house. :-O
You are one sick puppy. ;-)

It may seem kinda weird for a park employee to tell guys to get their shirts on but then let the chicks let it all hang out (and as a ride op on a water ride on a hot day, you definately do see it all hang out *shudder*) but there comes a point where you have to worry about bigger issues.
Still though...keep your clothes on, people.
Closed topic.
