Are You Bikini Ready? Not in Missouri!

That's the odd thing here. All the news stories I've seen specifically say she was banned for her bottom, not her top. Not that I'm shocked either way because the Disney water parks attract a lot of people from other countries with much more...er, liberal ideas of "appropriate swimwear," so I'm used to seeing much more skin than that. Disney is the epitome of family friendly, and I've never seen them ask anyone to cover up, but that Missouri park apparently has different family friendly standards.No, but I did see her walk... her bongos were flinging hard... I have big ones too.. but I could see come a problem with them coming out of her bikini top...
Missouri is not Disney, you need to get that out of your head.
and even if it is Disney, BIKINIS ARE FAMILY APPROPRIATE AT WATER PARKS AND BEACHES. We are talking about bathing suits here. And hers clearly isn't one of those "show as much as possible" types of bathing suits.
My goodness, what a prudish nation we can be.0 -
It's the family friendly thing that makes me equate the two. Disney will make you turn a t-shirt inside out or change it completely for things they deem questionable even when Universal, right down the street, will just wave you in. That's why their liberal water park attitude surprises me.Missouri is not Disney, you need to get that out of your head.0 -

I have been to most of the water parks in Missouri at one point or another (lived here all my life), and I have *never* heard of anyone getting kicked out or asked to cover up their swimsuit. The fact is, the company that the city contracted to manage the park is clueless on managing water parks. They have a lot to learn from companies like Cedar Fair (and Disney).0 -

You apparently missed where I said that she looks good.0 -
Eeep..;. if you're going to a water park (a place usually with kids for kids) you may want to consider buying a more discrete bathing suit.
I live in Missouri, but haven't been to a water park, most people here hit the lakes or rivers. But yeah, I have seen a LOT of things that were very revealing at beaches... lol
You think they should just ban bikinis then?
No, but I did see her walk... her bongos were flinging hard... I have big ones too.. but I could see come a problem with them coming out of her bikini top...
Maybe I am just paranoid that one of mine will fling out, but I think perhaps her top should have been more supportive.
As far as being banned... no... but some people should think more when it comes to choosing bikinis... yes, the Young girls are able to walk around with slimpy stuff like that because they aren't as big in that area, so nothing's going to pop out.
Personally, I think the rules should be the same for everyone. Since I don't wear bikinis, it wouldn't hurt my feelings to ban them at all. But I think that at a water park, people need to chill and not worry about "bongos" and such. Just deal with your own family.
Totally agree. As long as they aren't in the streak, I wouldn't care. And even if they were... it's not my body, I don't have to look at it, lol0 -
I live in Missouri. It's a redneck state in 90% of all cities and towns. So flashy "too-short" isn't Missouri.
I hate this state.0 -
I wonder if it's the same management company that recently fired a lifeguard at the beach over here for leaving his post to assist with a (rescued) drowning victim. There were others to cover the area, but he still got fired for using his own judgment and leaving his spot. Lifeguard got tons of job offers, management company got fired. If it was indeed an employee on a power trip at that water park, I wouldn't be surprised to see the same result.I have been to most of the water parks in Missouri at one point or another (lived here all my life), and I have *never* heard of anyone getting kicked out or asked to cover up their swimsuit.

I think part of the reason the parks here can't be prudes is that they're so dependent on international tourism, and most of those visitors are much more comfortable with the idea of showing skin than us Americans.0 -
It does sound like the manager was a bit OTT but I wouldn't wear that bikini top if I had that much boob at a family park. Even when doing something as natural as nursing my little one in public I tried my best not to show everyone my breast0

Let's keep it real. She's 42, lost 100 lbs and has a nice body to go with it. It was the HATERS!! Other moms who was hating and their husbands was looking to hard and they complained. The top could been a little bigger (just in case of a malfunction).
Other than that she looks good0 -

The complaint was about her bottoms, not her top.0 -
Someone at the waterpark was on a powertrip. She looks great for 42, there's nothing really wrong with the suit, especially the bottoms. The coverage of the top could be a bit "questionable" but, that wasn't the issue for why she was kicked out. There must be more to the story than what's being told.0

no. I was just lamenting that we even think like this here.
and even if she didn't look good, she still should be able to wear a bikini at a pool/waterpark without getting hell for it.0 -
legally, she may have a better case if it is owned by a municipality/state, just a thought.
i'm interested. for sure.0 -
I wonder if she had an inappropriate tattoo?
She looked to be covering something with the towel on her right side in every shot in the video.0 -

it would be sad if she's able to get any money out of this.0 -
I live on a Florida beach and this is tame compared to what I see on a daily basis.
My guess is that she either had an offensive tattoo or she was using foul language. If not, then seems like she was discriminated against.
Approaching her because of the swim bottoms is singling her out. I seriously doubt she was the only woman in that park wearing a bikini. Probably 75% of the women were in bikinis. Just an estimate based on the fact that I almost NEVER see women in full piece swimsuits unless they're over 70.0 -
I don't think we have the whole story here.
Something else obviously happened and she's using her weight and the bikini bottoms as a way to try and get the place in trouble.0 -
I live in Missouri and when im bikini ready they can kick me out all they want!
Ill go out screaming "I WORKED HARD TO GET THIS BODY SO I CAN WEAR THIS BIKINI!"0 -

I truly hope that this will help get rid of the company that manages the park. I went to this park once when it first opened and will never go back. Worst water park ever!0 -
This is a one sided story because only the lady looking for cash is talking. Her parts were showing. It is not a nude park. They asked her to cover them. Good job management company!0
