Animal print clothing "banned" at Chessington.

[Robbie]

In another dumb PR stunt from Merlin, they've announced that animal print clothing is banned at the park because, apparently, it confuses the animals. By fortunate coincidence, this most happens on the brand-new ride (pay attention at the back), Zufari.

Merlin have no shame.

I would however find it funny if someone disobeyed the ban and was subsequently mounted by an amorous and extremely confused zebra.

Having worked for various parks with animals, a zebra may do that to you anyways. Nasty animals.

I say we all turn up to Ghosterforce in animal onesies!

What a ridiculous stunt...

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Won't somebody think of the children?! Outrage over. This is stunt is stupid.

 

[Smithy]

Genuinely only checked the topic in the hope there was a joke about an innocent child in zebra print leggings being mounted which led to the ban.

Wasn't disappointed.

That's the entire female population of Essex not going then.

^ Good point, their hooped earrings could also trap a lorikeet.

That is all.

I came to CF just to post a topic on this, but my title would have been "nadroJ banned from Chessington"

 

[caffeine_demon]

I can see the conversation now:

"Hey Gavin, do you want to come to Chessington today?"

"I'd love to, but I've only got this leopard print top so I can't"

 

[nadroJ]

Pfft when was the last time you saw me actually WEAR animal print

Funnily enough, I was on ZuFari when Sky News were filming this yesterday. We were waiting at the loading gates when I noticed the sign saying animal print was banned then next thing the ride op is telling us they were waiting for a news crew on the last jeep to come back in. When they did, they started filming us waiting to get on and said they were doing a story about the banning of the clothing and wanted people to wear zebra and tiger onesies on the ride. One of the giraffes was certainly very interested in the tiger one. I don't think the footage has gone out yet though.
