Themed uniforms across resort

[Dave]

I’m not too fussed about blazers coming back, they’re very “of their time”.

Even TS admin can be wrong and you are wrong .

Bring back the blazers, Henry hound and the straw hats in F&B!!!!

I vaguely remember hearing a suggestion on a vlog that Henry Hound might return.

It wouldn't surprise me, as AT seem to be stuck in nostalgia mode at the moment.

(Honouring the past can be a good thing, but being stuck in it is a bad sign as it suggests not having faith in the future)

Wouldn't staying in cycling gear be even more unhygienic than changing in the toilets?

Or was it to make a statement and pressure management into changing the policy?

Your moral stand obviously worked, as they built a changing room within only 24 hours! (either that, or your colleagues found your cycling outfit unbearable!)

P.S. I used to change into cycling gear in the toilet cubicle - but I initially made the mistake of not washing my hands immediately afterwards and so onlookers mistakenly may have thought that I'd used the toilets without going to the sink...

Another room was provided, lots of empty teaching rooms with curtains.
It meant unlocking a single door.

The cosplaying as Smiler staff thing always concerns me.
I can remember a Scarefest many moons ago, where I was hanging around the tavern in Mutiny Bay, in my full pirate outfit... Let's just say I suddenly realised why Disney parks won't let adults wear costumes. I spent most of my time fending off younglings who only saw "PIRATE!" and ignored the pint in one hand and the cigarette in my other.

Can you imagine having to have a serious conversation with a staff member where maybe a child in your party maybe has had a really bad fall and they are dressed like Jack bleeding sparrow. This is where the issue lies for me.

Im all for immersion when it comes to rides and theming but staff members
Uniforms? Never bothered me at all. Doesnt add to my experience at all unless its a meet and greet attraction which is slightly different. If they are just serving at a counter or helping manage traffic around the park then a standard uniform is ideal.

I'm going to be unpopular and say I'd rather they didn't because I find it harder to spot staff amongst those wearing merchandise or cosplay in areas of the park where staff dress differently (particularly Smiler since there is quite a large cosplay community surrounding the ride's aesthetic).

I think this is a really valid point that I do agree with. Staff need to be visible and not every visitor to Towers is going to be fully sighted. Towers is already very difficult and tiring for visually impaired people to navigate (dark stations, odd lighting, uneven paths the list goes on). Staff being not easily viable is unnecessary, that doesn't mean they can't have different uniforms, just not too many of them, and with very clear branding (preferably every staff uniform has the same recognisable characteristic, that is not sold on merchandise).

This isn't exactly the same thing, but I accidentally went out of the wrong exit in the Altonville Mine Tours scare maze in 2024 and needed help going back in, and so I had a surprisingly cordial conversation with a guy wielding a (hopefully fake) chainsaw.
