Would you use this?

[OrlandoMike]

So Cedar Point opened yesterday....sigh.....

They have added this to the park. After getting off of one of their water rides, for $5.00, you can stand in this thing for 3 minutes and it will dry you off! Would you use it? I doubt I would......

Last time I was at Cedar Point we were riding one of the water rides, with Disney poncho's on. Some little kid asked us...."Don't you guys want to get wet?"

"Ask your mother about chaffing!"

I totally would.

AND I'd stand there in with the air blowing all around me with my arms out and think this:

Theorizing that he could time travel within his own lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past facing a mirror image that was not his own . . .

Yes!

And I'd do this...

"Isn't the breeze form the subway divine!"

Keep in mind, Cedar Point uses water directly from Lake Erie for some of their rides! Do you really want that baked into your clothing?

I'm gonna stick with the poncho routine!

You didn't ask if we'd want to get wet. You asked if we'd want to use the sci-fi looking contraption.

I'd skip the ride and just have fun living my Quantam Leap fantasy.

I wonder if I can convince Scott to be "Al".

"hoping that the next leap will be the leap home . . . "

Yes!

Wally - is that what you wear when you go to the parks?

Only in the evenings!

Daylight is reserved for red jeans!

They keep saying that Lake Erie is clean but every summer when the temperature is just right they announce that the beaches are closed due to 'elevated bacteria levels' ... somehow that doesn't give me a sense of comfort. I can't understand how they can close the beaches one day and then say it's ok the next. I could walk to the beach from my house and I won't go. Give me a chlorinated pool any day!

 

[wallyb]

Yes - but no panties.
I hate wet panties.

If you don't wear em - they don't get wet.

I HATE to be splashed with water. HATE it. But I also hate to have air blowing directly on me, so I don't think I would want to stand in the drying booth, either! Especially not for $5. Unless every person coming out of that booth was 100% COMPLETELY dry. Then I might consider it.

I have been on Splash Mtn. ONCE. We went at 9 AM because there was no line. My entire butt was SOAKED when we finished the ride. My butt was soggy until like 2 PM when we left to go on the DVC tour. It was August, so it wasn't cold, but it was still gross. Poncho sounds good to me!

 

[wallyb]

Poncho sounds good to me!

Here's a cool rainbow one with a
rock'n chapeau to match!

OMG....

 

[PghLybrt]

Lake Erie is nasty nasty nasty!!!
In Erie county PA there are still pipes that pump waste directly into the lake.
Yes every year they would close the beaches! Great for pool sales!!


Oh to answer the question. Nope.

 

[Chuck S]

Assuming they have changing rooms, I'd bring extra clothes and a towel and change my clothes. If my only alternative was using a booth or staying in wet layers of clothing all day, I'd probably use the booth.

 

[Sphyrna]

Not sure I'd use it. Think I'll stick with my current routine...skip the water rides.

When we were just there earlier this month, one of the WDW Waterparks has one of those things near the lockers & changing rooms. I think it was Typhoon Lagoon although they may have it in both and we just didn't notice. They have a sign on it calling it the "Family Dryer" and it costs like $3 or $5 or something. My mother thought it was the oddest thing she ever saw and took a picture of it....so it's clearly not just a Cedar Point thing!!

Ok i have changed my mind. After sitting in the pouring rain at the Pittsburgh Passion game the other night (which we won 41-0) I think I may have spent the $ and used it!! I was soaked!!!

Did you sit there and think of this thread the whole time?

 

[insoin]

I HATE being wet. Because of this I almost always skip the water rides. The only water ride I've done in WDW was Splash Mtn. But I wore a poncho.

So if this would get me dry, then I would use it. But I dont see it getting a person 100% dry.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

After having that bacteria-laden water splashed on me, I would stand there the whole time wondering what sort of recirculated filth was being blown on me in the dryer. Ick, ick, ick!
