You May Now Commence Riding Topless at Disneyland

Disneyland had a long-standing (10 years) policy about topless behavior on their Splash Mountain ride, as well as a handful of other rides, at Disney's California Adventure and Disneyland. Obviously, you weren't allowed to reveal yourself.

That's changed in the past few days as Disney has announced that they will no longer have employees specifically designated to monitor whether people are flashing the cameras or lifting their shirts on the rides.

Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown says the changes took effect Sunday at Splash
Mountain, Tower of Terror, Space Mountain and California Screamin'.

Riders are photographed on the attractions and can then buy souvenir copies. Some have exposed their breasts in hopes that the picture would make it onto a photo preview screen at the ride's exit.

Ms. Brown stated that the "actual inappropriate behaviors by guests are rare" but my guess would be that "the wonderful economy" won't allow the park to continue "paying people to look for breasts."

Besides, shouldn't the inherent shame of showing one's fairly private parts on a screen at a Disney park be ample punishment for the deed at hand anyway? I say so. Free hat! Er, shirt.
