WWA Symposium
One of the liveliest sessions at this year’s WWA Symposium was the Large Park Debate, where one of the topics discussed was how to get guests to conform to the requirement that they must wear a bathing suit in the waterpark.
Six Flags, for example, lists a code of conduct on its website. It was agreed that it is important to communicate the rules before arriving at waterparks. Disney, on rare occasions, may give a guest a swimsuit. Another park occasionally offers swimwear at employee prices.
Overly revealing swimwear, especially prevalent among international guests, is another problem. Flowing garments may not be allowed on certain attractions. Sea World San Antonio has a black line in its wave pool that fully clothed visitors may not cross. Posted signs stating that proper swimwear is required was another solution. Other signage asks that no buttons, rivets or zippers be worn.
Parks must decide if it is a safety issue or an offensive appearance issue. Cotton clothing was noted as a problem since it clogs the lint filters, adds weight when wet and is not slippery on slides.
