Toilets - A bit of a dump

TS Founding Member
Hot water isn't a biggie for me but if it's there, great.
Dryers blasting cold air irritates me. Useless.
The worst theme park toilet experience for me was at PortAventura, s**t smeared walls in a cubicle... maybe it was theming.
I generally find most public toilets disgusting, theme park or not. The best public toilets I find are ones you pay for.

Re: taps - I'd rather warm than freezing cold but one of the sinks in our office has a single tap with water so hot you can barely touch it, making it almost useless.
If EP didn't have cold water in the sinks you wouldn't be able to get drinking water anywhere and would be forced to pay €3/bottle - not ideal in summer.

All public toilets should have automatic taps. They're so much more hygienic and easier to use than manual (you turn it on and off) or semi-automatic (you turn it on but it turns off itself) taps.
Semi-automatic taps where you have to hold down the button for the water to come out are the worst. How am I supposed to wash my hands if I have to keep touching the button for the water to appear?!

No, there should be feeding areas in restaurants. Would you want to eat in the toilets?I also like that both have changing area and feeding areas for babies.
I got confused by the signage and went in the womens at Magic Mountain I think, there was three doors, two for the womens so I walked past one entrance and went into the next to find that was womens too!I’d also like to throw Six Flags Magic Mountain toilets into the discussion here.
They’re perfectly clean, but the size is grossly inadequate for a park of that size. Having only 3 cubicles in the toilets in your main plaza area, at a park which gets such big attendance is frankly ludicrous. Just one of many, many operational inadequacies at SFMM sadly.

I think the majority at EP are the ones with sensors as far as I can remember. Some of the taps at towers are useless, you press the tap and the water comes off within 2 seconds.All public toilets should have automatic taps.

Ah that's good to know! They're got the right ideaI think the majority at EP are the ones with sensors as far as I can remember. Some of the taps at towers are useless, you press the tap and the water comes off within 2 seconds.

It’s for women if they want to breast feed there babies in private. It’s got nice relaxing music in there. In the restaurants they have microwaves for heating up baby food and heating up bottles. At Drayton they got male and female toilets areas and a big area just for babies. Alton towers is still a small room at 1 end of each toilet block and at the Safari park it’s inside the disabled toilets.No, there should be feeding areas in restaurants. Would you want to eat in the toilets?

Alton Towers have private baby feeding rooms in CBeebies.

But if it’s for feeding it should be a dedicated private feeding area, not in the toilets. Again, would you want to eat in toilets?It’s for women if they want to breast feed there babies in private.

Even the Alton Towers one above says it’s in the toilets, which makes it sound dirty. Should be next to the toilets, or next to the restaurant.

That’s the difference what the public want and what a park offers.But if it’s for feeding it should be a dedicated private feeding area, not in the toilets. Again, would you want to eat in toilets?
