Thorpe Park bans rollercoaster fans from putting hands in air - due to body odour

Featured Replies

Pretty funny if you ask me. But also pretty harsh. While BO is certainly unpleasant, I don't think that they should be removed from the park..

Wow really? That's ridiculous. Who was the genius with the sensitive nose who came up with this brilliant idea?

I say he let his scence of smell overide his comon scence.

This seems a bit silly. You are on a roller coaster with the wind drying out your less desirable areas, and dispersing the smell to boot.

While I must say some people really do stink, it's part of it. When you go out into public you should expect certain things especially in a theme park enviroment. It's one thing to ask someone to leave at a sit-down restaurant due to the smell affecting those around, but in a theme park come on, on a hot summer day most everyone will end up stinking at some point in the day. That's why having all the fresh air around you is a good thing. It's a slippery slope, what if I was to go there and complain that a person's uglyness obscured my view of their coasters theming???

spend some time in europe and you will be enlightened to the problem.

they don't use deodorant and don't bathe near as often as americans.

*sigh* the UK is not near as bad as the rest of europe... they also have dentists.... :P besides I don't know what their issue is, temps don't get nearly as high as they do around ohio in the summer. stoopid ppl....

Stalker, who spent quite a few months living in the UK to know the stereotypes there... :P

I was going to say Im pretty sure majority don't use deodorant. SO now saying that you guys can go back re-read and then maybe think this isn't such a bad idea after all. I know one thing I expect people to put on deodorant everyday in the morning or before sweaty activities.

I have experienced some pretty wicked odor at KI. Next time you board WWC on a hot day, after you buckle your seat belt, smell your hands where they touched the elastic part of the belt. Sickening.

I think the bigger problem than riding with a person with excessive BO is standing in line for more than an hour near one.

Though I'd rather not do either, I'd much rather be behind someone in line with a BO problem than with a "gaseous explosions" problem. Pugh!
