Since Raptor's been brought up, the other change I'd like to see in time at CP is softer restraints on
Raptor and Rougarou. The current restraints hurt your head and need to be changed to softer ones (like the ones on Banshee or Maverick).

Unless B&M comes out with some sort of retrofit, it's not going to happen. The newer restraints (Banshee, GK, etc.) require wider trains, which would require at least a new station.

I don't care for the accelorator dryers sound either. One of my kids was terrified of them when he was little so we usually left the restroom with his hands wet anywhere that had them but he still screamed while I was drying mine.

Updated restrooms are definitely necessary! I wish Park Services department would staff a designated person at each restroom building for men's and women's so they can be constantly stocked and clean. I too agree that they look dirty because they simply need updated. I'm surprised this hasn't happened yet.

Speaking of restrooms, perhaps they're going to add more restroom inside CPShores because that godawful restroom by the wavepool causes such a line.

The restrooms in general do need a nice modern upgrade. And I think many could use additional capacity by expanding the footprint where possible. I hope this gets bumped up on the priority list in the next few years.

Also hate the dryers. Rarely use them unless its cold so my hands dont freeze. There are quieter versions out there. Hand dryer talk...must be the off season.

Kind of like the Dyson hand dryers I have seen in AMC Theaters. They actually get your hands dry in a reasonable amount of time. Having at least one towel dispenser is still a must.

Noticed this summer some of the stall doors need some maintenance especially the ones next to FA in Frontier Town.

It has always bothered me that the majority of public restrooms I have been in, the doors to the bathroom stall swing in. It seems redundant having to maneuver between the door and toilet when closing the door to do your business. Rather, the handicap stalls always swing out for obvious reasons. I've just always wondered why the other stalls have the doors hinged the other way. Bathroom stall talk...as GL2CP said, must be the off season

I went to a Piston's game last night at the brand new Little Ceaser's arena in Detroit. The men's room was magnificent. Well laid out, lots of water when you washed your hands, touch free, and quiet dyson dryers (not the ones you stick your hands into, but underneath, like an accelerator but very quiet in comparison. And a clean ledge to set your drink while you do what needs doing.

I've never enjoyed a public restroom like I did that one. I wish CP would use that as a benchmark for any future restroom remodels.

I don't get why the door swing in either since there is usually plenty of room available for them to swing out instead. It would make life easier. I think we've just all slowed down enough going on two weeks of off season to truly contemplate how dissatisfied we've been with our restroom experiences.

Regarding doors swinging in vs out. If the door latch was not secured properly or broken, which they fequently are, it would be rather awkward to close it when you are doing your business.

I am disappointed that there are no paper towels in any of the restrooms anymore. Sometimes you just need a paper towel.

Taking this beyond CP since I think mostly all of their restrooms are doorless, I absolutely HATE it when the restrooms have a door that pulls inward to the restroom and they only have blowdryers - then they expect you to pull open the door handle after 50% of the people do their thing and pull on that same handle with soiled hands. What's the point at that point?

There should be a law that ALL doors (both inside and out) in public places push out. Especially in times of emergency.

Restroom doors swing in so as to prevent outward swinging doors from hitting and possibly injuring the next patron in line. This is a tried and true universal safety thing and will likely not ever change for that reason alone.

The doors open in specifically for a time of emergency, so as the people inside cannot get locked in from people trying to rush to an exit.

The building codes address this issue.

All exterior doors in commercial buildings, unlike your home, open out for egress safety.

Yes, that is part of it.

All internal doors on an escape path open out towards the direction of egress as well. Easier to push open a door than to pull open a door with a throng of people behind you.

I guess that OSHA training I took did teach me something.

I am always hoping that after I go, that the first thing is finding an escape path.

After some people "go", other restroom users need an escape path.

yeah buddy.
