waterpark report

If you're the only one wearing Speedos at a regular pool you don't get stared at, but at a waterpark you do? Is that the inference?

Waterparks are just a little more public. You have to stand in line, etc. I wore a speedo to Disney... It was kinda weird eating lunch in a speedo, but it was a lot of fun.

Speedos actually vastly improve the water slide experience and are ideal for a situation when you are in and out of the water due to not holding much water.

You got that right.


Especially the much lamented 'Der Stuka" at Orlando's long gone Wet n Willd.


Not having to pluck the mesh liner of dork shorts out of one's fundament was a blessing.

For sure, if you know how to ride a waterslide the last thing you need is a bunch of fabric messing up the hydrodynamics. They turn your butt into a water brake when it could be smoothly riding on the film of water your heels and shoulder blades are. There is a trick to it, balancing your body weight on the three points, not letting any point touch the slide. Can't be done in baggy shorts. Once I learned this I could really whiz through the tube.

And hopefully there is no whizzing in the tube... or lazy river.. but I am sure it happens.. a LOT!

Yikes, not quite what I was referring to but since you mentioned it, water parks have to work extra hard to keep the water clean. Some don't. Yuck.

I have worn a speedo at Disney parks, including lunch. Easier there than most places since speedos are more common, probably because of the number of Europeans and Latin Americans that go there.
Also wore a speedo all day including lunch at Atlantis. Very few speedos on the slides. but a fair amount at the pools. I ate at a counter service location, but even saw a few men in just speedos at a table service restaurant near the pool.
