A theme park which holds the world record for the most number of naked people on a rollercoaster has banned its male visitors from removing their shirts.

Adventure Island in Southend said that it wanted men to "show some decorum".

Marc Miller, managing director, added: “In recent years we've seen increasing numbers of lads and men whipping their tops off, eager to make the most of the sun. That's absolutely fine in the right environment, but we try very hard to be a family-focused business and not everybody is a fan of bare chests."

As well as setting the world record for the most naked people on a theme park ride, Adventure Island also attempted to create a new record for the most naked people to play mini golf, in 2012.
