China beats Merlin to most hilarious PR stunt of the year

[peep]

Article link

Here's a promotion Disneyland is unlikely to copy: A theme park in China is offering a half-price discount to all patrons who show up wearing miniskirts. (All female patrons, that is.) "The stipulation aims to encourage female visitors to showcase their beauty in summer," explained Li Wenxing, deputy manager of the Merry-Land Resort Theme Park in southern China. And once the miniskirted ladies are in the park, other visitors are encouraged to splash them with water — all part of Merry-Land's not-at-all-completel​y-strange "summer water-splashing festival." Naturally, some nearby residents are trying to pour cold water on the campaign, believing it encourages ladies to "behave erotically" in public.

Saw it and just had to spread the news.

That sounds like my type of park, I would hate to see what the girls at Thorpe would look like in mini skirts if they done this offer. Haha.

I like how they had to stipulate female guests to prevent males turning up in one

For the sake of other people's happiness, and maybe safety, I hope there is a weight and size limit for this offer.

Is there an age limit also? I`m sure grandma would be down for the "Summer water splashing festival?"

This is absolute gold.

A park filled with (hopefully) young chinese girls in miniskirts?

And then the water? This can't be real life <3333333

I think they stole the idea of this from PleasureBeach Blackpool. But, PleasureBeach don't let them in cheaper, it's just that the clientele turn up at the park gates wearing short skirts..

Umm... Florida is known for being "the retirement home of America". You know... older people, taking their visiting family to the local amusement parks?

I don't want to continue on that. But you can probably imagine the sight.
