Thorpe Park in Surrey is banning visitors from putting their hands in the air while riding its rollercoasters following complaints about body odour.
The park is even putting up signs to tell visitors to keep their arms down and 'Say no to BO'.
Mike Vallis, a director at Thorpe Park, said: "We've found that when the temperature tops 77F (25C) the level of unpleasant smells can become unacceptable and we do receive complaints. Our rides are really scary and people tend to sweat more than normal due to the fear and anticipation they experience while queueing up so it can get really pongy. Therefore, we felt a ban in temperatures of 25C plus would be the best way to ensure our guests have the most enjoyable experience and aren't exposed to any unsavoury armpits."
