| Description | In a bid to crack down on sweaty summer smells a theme park is banning visitors from riding its rollercoasters with their hands in the air following complaints about body odour.
As of tomorrow, which is expected to be the hottest day of the month, Thorpe Park will put up signs telling visitors to keep their arms down on the rides and 'Say no to BO'.
With temperatures expected to reach 29C, (84F) bosses at the park in Chertsey, Surrey, expect an excess of perspiration as punters queue to go on rides guaranteed to make you sweat.
As well as signs, wardens on the rides will also remind people to consider their fellow passengers.
Anyone ignoring the warnings will be escorted off. Those who continue to do so will be asked to leave the park.
Mike Vallis, a director at Thorpe Park, said: 'We've found that when the temperature tops 25C the level of unpleasant smells can become unacceptable and we do receive complaints.
