Themepark ghost rides are always full of black (UV) lights, to give everything that eerie glow. Why not build one with reclining cars, invite riders to strip down to their undies, and "kill two birds with one stone"? It'd save energy, too. Riders could choose tracks of various lengths depending on the
amount of tanning they desired. Of course, longer tans would be scarier; but anyone who's read anything about skin cancer, premature aging, etc., and _still_ wants a long tan has to be pretty courageous (or foolhardy) to begin with.

Why do I think a long ride in a reclining car where the participants are encouraged to strip will be.. misused..? |
|

Curt- look at PeterSealy's comment and it might provide a reason why it *wouldn't* be misused. The average themepark ghost rider would probably be quite a turnoff. |
|
| |
Misusing such a ride would also be less likely when it became clear that more of those average themepark ghost riders were probably actually *watching* you and your partner misuse the ride. |
|
| |
Then again, it'd be a great hit for exhibitionists...... |
|

...And lots of rides of this type have live actors. Also, a decently scary ride will cause your pallor to pale somewhat, and negate the tanning. |

Guess that rules out the Disney parks. |

Come to think of it, I've seen so many scary-looking, prematurely-aged people emerging from tanning salons, it may already be easy enough to get scared and tanned in one place. (After a while, one could simply look in the mirror, for that matter.) |
