Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: Body Dryer
I've seen them at Universal Studios Florida before. Every so often they put one outside of Ripsaw Falls.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Re: Body Dryer
Canadas Wonderland has had one for a couple of years, next to the raft ride. I have never tried their water rides, so I can't comment on its effectiveness. However $5 seems expensive to dry oneself. I see a lot of folks just bring a change of clothes and change after getting soaked. Thats what we do at Kali River Rapids.

Re: Body Dryer
There's a body dryer by Bigfoot Rapids at Knott's.
The Merchandise dept doesn't like it because it cuts into the sales of T-shirts and towels. :(

Re: Body Dryer
Another theme park has found these to be good warm up place for customers during winter operations.
