And speaking of smaller rides with less nudity--but that are fun nonetheless--here are some from St. Louis. I believe the ride started in 2008 with no nudity whatsoever, but has been gradually pushing the limit. Supposedly nudity is not allowed, so the riders are careful to toe the line. Over the past few limits I understand that there have been topless women and nude men during the ride itself, but they seem pretty careful to only show only the technically covered stuff (pasties, painted etc) in photos. Hopefully that will continue to follow a natural progression toward more rather than less nudity.
Interestingly, there seems to be a strong burlesque influence in the St. Louis aesthetic. I don't think that's an accident. Some of the flickr users who had WNBR gallers also had burlesque galleries, leading me to believe there's been quite a bit of cross-over between the subcultures.
