Columbus coasternut Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Here's the deal My family and I went to the park today and we went to CDBB. My boys decieded that they wanted to go on Down Under Thunder. So we got inline and waited and when it was our turn the life guard said that my children could not ride due to rivets on their suits. Personally I think this is crazy since we have been to the park 14 times already and they have never been stopped before. So I asked what the problem was and the guard said no rivets are allowed on suits. So now that I had kids mad and ticked off I offered to buy them new suits at the shop by the enterance. When I got into the shop guess what I discovered PKI is selling suits with rivets where the suits tie same place my boy's rivets are. So my question is if rivets are not allowed why is the park selling suits with them? other than that we had a great time at the park today and my hats off to all the staff members in HB and Nick Central. Every ride we got off of today someone was saying hope you enjoyed your ride and enjoy the rest of your day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkidude03 Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 Those rings on the sides of board shorts are called eyelets... They don't allow them on the body slides. All of the other slides allow them. my guess is why they wont allow them is because it scratches the slides up. Here's what I did.. I bought a cheap pair of board shorts with the eyelets and went home & took them out with plyers. My mom sewed the edge of where they came out so it wouldn't unravel. I went on Down Under Thunder and had no problems! Try It! I also heard that people tried putting duct tape over them.. Or find a pair without eyelets. Last time I was in one of the shops that sold them some of them had eyelets and some didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbeast Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 There are only 3 water slides that don't allow rivets, etc: Down Under Thunder, Aussie Twister, and Bondi Pipeline. So you're claim that rivets are not allowed in the water park is not true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theultimatefan Posted July 17, 2004 Share Posted July 17, 2004 When i went to the waterpark, i had the eyelets or rivets, on the side of my trunks. so all they had me do, was roll up the side of my trunks, so they covered the eyelets. BUT there were kids in front of me who had them on the back of their trunks, and they werent allowed, because there is no way to roll up your pants to cover those.
