PPP Costume Poll
I will be attending PPP for the first time this year, and wanted to ask PPP veterans for some costume advice.
1. What percentage of PPPer's actually dress up?
2. Are there limits as to what the park will allow you to wear on the rides? I'd assume it to be a common sense thing, but one person's idea of common sense is not necessarily that of another.
Thanks.

Basicly you can wear anything you want. The only thing is that you don't want a costume that will stop you grom riding the rides. I saw just about everything there from pepole dressed like Fabio complete with the goose, people dressed up like bumper cars, Lake Compounce grounds worker (remember the Boulder Dash accident last summer) and a drag queen,. I just wouldn't do anything that might offend people.
I always say I'm gonna dress up but never do. One of these years I will.

believe me, if one person laughs, someone else will be offended.....(in jeremy's parlance, that's a YP)....If I manage to get there this year, which looks unlikely as my sister's getting married the following weekend, I'll dress.....the costume is anybody's guess though...
gator - What happened to your priorities, man? ;)
c'punk - Awesome. You could wear a trench coat and be the Blue Flash.

Don't forget that last year's winners were the gigantic Knoebels cake and candles, incapable of riding. So if you have somethng a bit obstructive, only wear it for part of the event. Though slightly inappropriate now, a 2 man team doing Harry Culder and the bomber from Rollercoaster would be priceless.

PatMan007, Last year I think it was $12 or $13. It lasts from 5 till 10. After PPP they gather everyone at the food cort next to the Phoenix where Dick gives his end of year speech and somtimes hints on the new attraction for the following year. After that they give out prizes for the best costumes usually PPP sweatshirts and T shirts.
After the gathering everyone heads up behind Twister where they have a Huge bonfire and give out hot dogs an marshmellows. Somtimes I endup leaving the park around 1 am.
You really have to be doing somthing wrong not to have a good time at PPP.
I'm hoping this year the make the Pioneer Train Haunted! That would be a fun ride.
