Shirts allowed at waterparks?
I was curious if any type of shirts were allowed in the waterparks? My Bf got severely burned from some scalding water as a child and has scars all over his shoulders and back and is really self-conscious of this and was hoping to simply avoid his embarassment with him being allowed to wear a shirt (or a form-fitting surfing style one even?). Thanks for any help!

Sure they're allowed! Lots of people wear t-shirts at the waterparks, for all sorts of reasons.

GREAT! Thanks! They don't allow them at our local waterpark so this is wonderful news!

Just make sure the shirt doesnt have any metal or plastic on it, they dont let you on the slides with shirts that have them.

One thing to be aware of (I learned the hard way):
dark colored cotton t-shirts can fade severely due to the chlorine (or whatever they use) in the water. I spent approx an hour in the lazy river at TL on year while wearing a dark purple t-shirt. The part of the shirt that was in the water most of that time (the bottom half of the back of the shirt) ended up a lovely light lavender. 
Stick with white or something light colored.

To piggyback onto fangorn's comments - if you have an old bathing suit wear it to the waterparks. As with any public pool, the chlorine level is quite high. Don't forget your sunscreen!

I have a special white tshirt (actually, it is a mickey mouse t shirt) that I use just for pools and waterparks. The wet shirt keeps me cooler, and gives me extra protection against the sun. I wore it to both waterparks last year without a problem.

you can also wear a rashguard as well. it's quite beneficial when it comes to protection from both the sun and rough areas (this applies with typhoon lagoon's wave pool which can be rough at times)

The other thing that has not been said is that wearing a white shirt as opposed to a dark color one is the issue of temperature. Anything white or light colored will do a better job of reflecting heat back to the sky and will help keep you a little cooler.

Wow, what a horrible experience! I would have never thought that the shirt could get caught in the slide. Something to think!
