Favourite UK theme park Alton Towers is enforcing a pretty unusual ban. Men who want to use the water park are not allowed to wear skimpy speedos anymore. Instead, they are expected to don shorts. "Our team has witnessed an increase in men wearing tight trunk style swimwear", says Morwenna Angove, the marketing director of the Resort.


Alton Tower's management feels that speedos should not be worn at a family venue, and are therefore advising male guests to wear more protective swimwear. They are also looking into offering complimentary male waxing to ensure they preserve the dignity of all guests.
