2025: General Discussion

Oy, Barry, you 'eard of flippin' ponchos mate?
Jeez, get with the century pal...
It's summer.
Skin is waterproof.
Queues are shorter, wheels are faster in the rain.
Just watch for thunder...
Let's not go there, again.
 
I wonder what's going through the heads of people sometimes. I'm at Towers today and 60% of people seem to be wearing t-shirts, hoodies, shorts etc without any kind of waterproof clothing. It's forecast to rain heavily at times up until lunchtime. Have they never heard of weather forecasts? What do they think will happen when they're stuck in a queue for an hour in torrential rain? They should be banned from voting.
This is me, I can't stand being too hot/sweaty. I do bring a coat and occasionally a pair of overtrousers in the car, but those are reserved for real extreme weather
 
You’d expect people would start monitoring the weather from 60 miles away to place the wellbeing and comfort of themselves at the core of everything they do. That way they can proactively respond to adverse conditions, not just react, to support their comfort.

At least the park close the rides hours in advance because their approach is grounded in care and comfort. That way there’s adequate time for those crazy kids who haven’t brought ponchos to seek safe shelter as needed.
