why do people wear ponchos on water rides?

Question

i mean isnt the point to go on and get wet. so why would you go to islands of adventure get on the popeye rapids ride wait an hour and then put on a poncho. my girlfriend says its b/c not everyone is a south floridian and not everyone realizes that you need to go to that park in a bathing suit and board shorts but it seems to me to be a waste of time.

Answer 1

B/c they think they won't get wet wearing them.

Answer 2

OMG! I was in Island's of Adventures ON the Popeye ride last week. There was a couple who were wearing ponchos. I couldn't imagine why. If you don't want to get wet, you just want the thrill of a ride, then go on a roller coaster!

I went on it twice, however, and the second time there was YET ANOTHER couple who had poncos on. Thistime, the guy, instead of putting the digital camera in the middle plastic protecting, he snapped pictures, then put it under the poncho for the wet parts. I guess that could work, except I wouldjusthold the balled up poncho in my lap with the camera under it if I wanted pictures that bad, so I could still get wet. Then again, it would just make more sense to buy a disposable waterproof OUTSIDE of the park, if you're going to a water park, b/c they are literally 20 bucks at stands inside the parks.

Answer 3

I myself don't like to run around an amusement park in my bathing suit. I also don't want to bothered with bringing a change of clothes and having to carry them everywhere. I especially HATE walking around in wet clothes. So if there is not a poncho and a way to keep from getting totally soaked I won't go on the ride. This disappoints my kids, so I am grateful for the ponchos.

Answer 4

Some people like the ride, but not the getting wet part.

Answer 5

They were these on water rides so they wont get wet and then they can walk around without being soecked

Answer 6

I know, that is kind of dumb.
If you are riding a water ride, the point
is pretty much to get wet!

Answer 7

properly it relies upon, now and back Florida climate could properly be unpredictable (and that i'm no longer speaking approximately storms) i'm speaking approximately temperature. as quickly as I went on December it replaced into 60 tiers then it went right down to 40 yet there replaced into wind and that they suggested it felt like 20....it replaced into so chilly! yet now and back it may desire to be 70 or 80 tiers in December, yet regularly occurring definite the water rides are open like splash mountain and issues like that, they could close the water parks regardless of the undeniable fact that, however the swimming pools interior the Disney hotels are heated. they could purely close if there replaced right into a thunder typhoon yet while its cool definite its nonetheless open. yet while it gets too chilly they could could desire to close it for a whilst, yet that could desire to be quite uncommon. on the thank you to respond to your question definite water rides are open for the duration of December in Walt Disney international. yet purely make certain you examine the climate in stronger, if it gets under a undeniable temperature they could close it. yet thankfully Disney has a lot of alternative cool rides.

Answer 8

Yeah this is dumb. People are so scared of water. Even if it starts raining a little bit outside people freak out. It's just water and it dries and doesn't stain or hurt you or nothing! Wow imagine that!

Answer 9
