Hope you can make the Uniform out.


Yes I do like it because it berings more flavor to the park. I asked a conductor if he wanted to switch outfits, he was like sure.

Well not "NEW" per-se, but re-introduced to the park. They used to wear the overalls up until about 6-7 years ago.

I like them. It looks good. Thank Tim Black for that.

Yeah, they used to have many other uniforms 6-7 years. My favorite was the "Gotham City" uniforms. They were more related to BTR than Yankee Harbor.

The outfits look really good, I like them. I don't know about sailor outfits for IMS, it would look kind of wierd but interesting, they should try it. How about giving each ride their own outfits.

I don't think that would work to well, because Rideops usually work in certain themed areas. So maybe have each themed area have a uniform.

With not actually saying so, the employees had different uniforms for different areas before. I think part of the problem was that the workers can't move too far and have to stay in the same area all day. For the train people, they are "mostly" older and they usually don't move around, so it doesn't matter.

Who remembers back in 92(and it lasted for a few years) when Batman ops wore the full Tuxedo (all dressed like alfred). Imagine wearing a hot tux in that station in the middle of the summer in the 100+ degree weather, they eventually switched to the GCPW jumpsuits, then SF standardized uniforms.

Some units span 2 themed areas (Demon for example) so the idea of themed uni's on each ride may not be the best idea for now...and of course they have people that they send around everywhere (they'd have to go to back, probably to wardrobe, and change) every time they move rides.

Although not practical, it would be very cool... maybe if we get a new theme area at some point they'll consider it!

If all the workers dressed up people would make fun of them just like when they do the hand signals.

Thats part of the job, you have to learn to deal with it.

I personally would love to see the Themed uniforms return, it adds alot of feel to a ride.

I like the new uniforms I think they are classy and It goes along with the train theme. Also I like the idea that SFGAm is the only park to respect Marriotts theme how it started because the uniforms for the train are the original ones when the park was opened in 1976. :lol:

Look at the difference in the marketing campaings from recent years compared to 2004.
Recent years - thrill seekers, teenagers, people that make fun of stuff like that.
2004 - Mr. Six, more charectors, families.

I can't remember people ever making fun of them in their costumes. The one I haven't seen was Alfred at BTR because I was too young to go on that. Maybe, that would be the only one. I hope they didn't make them wear gray hair.

It's good for the train operators to have the costumes because they are all retired people who love trains and only run the Scenic Railway. As for ride ops on B:TR and in SWT, they are kids on summer jobs who rotate between rides. Therefore, the suits only work on the train.

Plus when they bring people to the Scenic Railway from other rides they wear the corporate uniform instead of changing.
