Thorpe Park wants to battle B.O.

From Robert Niles on August 19, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Wow. That really makes me want to book a trip to Thorpe Park.

Not.

On the flip side, I see an opportunity for a deodorant brand sponsorship on the horizon.

Hahaha thats so funny! That just made my day.

Thats not entirely true. It is only being banned when it is over 25c, and here in the UK it doesnt happen very often.

Besides they cant really stop you whilst the rides in motion, just give out free Lynx!

I trust content from the Daily Mirror as much as I do from the Sun and the Sport.

Daily Star content, top notch, oh how I miss that informative newspaper, especially page 3.
Sigh!

Not a bad idea for any theme park during the heat of the summer.

Word on the street is that Worlds of Fun has been pretty stinky this summer, even when I am not there! =D

Really? (slight head tilt to the left ala Stan on South Park) :)

Doesn't really sound like a bad idea. No one wants to smell others armpits, just one wiff could ruin all that time you spent in line waiting for the ride. I don't see much point in holding your arms up anyways. Alot of people say it makes you feel weightless. The coaster makes you feel weightless, where you have your arms has nothing to do with it.

I believe I heard it on ABC radio this morning as wild and wacky news.

If its not true, I call it a hachet jobs conspiricy due to ABC being own by Disney....OOOOOOOHHHHHH LOL, I doubt it :)

Still, its a pretty funny story. I have thought of it myself, but they acted on it!

I guess its true what they say about Europeans............. :)

What's next? DLP? LOL

This reminds me of when I went to Universal Studios Orlando close to ten years ago. My family and I boarded the Back to the Future Ride with three random people...who happened to have the worst B.O. ever. It ruined the entire ride for me.

From Gareth H on August 19, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Soccer Jerseys, route of all B.O. Evil, especially Liverpool ones, GET THE HINT BRITS, lol....

This is by far the stupidest thing I've come across in all my time as a theme park fan! Well done Thorpe Park, you've created a fuss about a problem that never existed in the first place.

This is the sort of thing that makes me ashamed to be British, it's the most stupid rule I've ever heard from a themepark! You are right about those Liverpool shirts they stink, the Manchester United ones smell the best! :0)

From Gareth H on August 20, 2009 at 12:17 PM
Oh I don't know Hannah! Man U stinks pretty bad after yesterday.

Long line the Gunners!

From Rob P on August 21, 2009 at 7:26 AM
We don't get that problem at the Bridge. Unlike the Gooners we just have the sweet smell of success. You probably don't remember it do you.

As for Thorpe Park........it's a marketeers dream. First create a problem that doesn't exist and then sell a solution.

Maybe everyone should be forced to walk through a trough of sheep dip and then sprayed with eau de cologne.

Oh wait a minute. Don't they already do that at Department Stores ?

From Joshua Counsil on August 21, 2009 at 7:50 AM
Oh no - Brit soccer fight.

EDIT: Sorry, "football" fight.

From hannah caller on August 21, 2009 at 10:50 AM
Thankfully Gareth I'm a Utd fan with a sense of humor, I'm still finding it funny now and being a gooner you obviously have one too!

From Gareth H on August 21, 2009 at 11:38 AM
I've got too. Our silverware is a little slim recently, but hopeful for this year after the start we had.

Gotta be grateful we arn't Tottenham though, lol.
