Busch Gardens is brilliant at making money

CJMST3K

I went with my sister and two nieces to Busch Gardens at Williamsburg this afternoon. They have this ride called Escape From Pompei (spelling?) which is essentially a large log flume. Last year they installed a large room-sized dryer next to it which costs like $5 to dry yourself off. Brilliant! ...but the ride didn't get people too wet, just a little. So this year they added firehoses that people can shoot water at you as you are on the ride! And they pay to shoot you. So now, the more that people pay to get you wet, the more you pay to dry off.

...humorously brilliant!
