Thorpe Park says arms down to prevent body odor exposure

As absurd as this story is, I've been behind stinky people more times than I can count, at times wanting to yack from the stench.

It would be more efficient to have a trained BO dog at the front entrance sniffing out suspected offenders and refuse them entrance to the park in the first place. Anyway, what's next? Banning speedos from water parks? ;)

Oh, God, I hope so!! Just tell me where to sign! :)

This feels like a one of those fake news stories the press makes up on April Fools Day.

Aye! I know know all too well about "mountain goat" smell from crowded queues. (incredible hulk full queue in the middle of July....pass me a swine flu mask) Thorpe should just hand out complimentary sticks of Degree or something.

First speedos and back hair at AT, then Thorpe and BO, now what mandated unibrow plucking at Flamingoland? LOL

(what does this BO rule mean for a certain enthusiass populous? heh)

I know there are times on hot days when I'm sweating a lot I am ALL TOO AWARE of my own smell. Perhaps the next great thing parks can provide is FREE DEODORANT for people who are self-conscious about the problem. If deodorant didn't melt the way it does I would carry a stick with me to the parks.

Ha! We used to semi-joke about this sort of thing in the anti-smoking discussions when all the parks went to designated smoking areas. Now they're really doing it.

LOL, and it was Thorpe that hosted this:

Maybe Cedar Point can add a "Family Deoderant Tunnel", much like the $5 "Family Dryer" they have near Snake River Falls?!?

Odd...I had you pegged as wearing a bikini or one-piece.

I had you pegged for same thing Moosh.. Even more odd.. :)

Oh, Moosh, you're so cute. I, for one, am not likely to be found at the water park. I'm even less likely to be found in a bathing suit of any kind (or birthday suit (publicly, anyway)...I offer that voluntarily because it's a tough crowd!) :)

But I am all for protecting America's youth from having their eyes scorched with the vision of Grandpa Joe with his pale and pasty beer gut hanging out over a banana hammock while his other "parts" fight to escape! Seriously, man, think about the children!

Note to self: bring deodorant when travelling with Carrie....

For me or for you?!? I smell just fine. :)

You just concentrate on leaving your speedo at home, buddy! ;)

Personally, I carry a deodorant stick in my Speedo. Most people just think I'm happy to see them.

^^That's Mr. Buddy to you!

Wait.. Did you bring you Speedo to Busch Moosh?

^^ That's Mrs Moosh to you, pal!
