Strange Dress Code Policy

Straight from the '09 CP Park Guide:

"Shirts and shoes must be worn at all times, including entering or leaving. Swimwear must be sufficiently covered."

So far, so good. Here's what I find strange:

"Profanity, obscene gestures, obscene statements, pictures of illegal substances, motorcycle colors...are prohibited"

Huh? Motorcycle colors? What does that even mean? Black? Weird.

Anyone have an explanation?

I was once prevented from entering a employee party at the park during off-hours because I was wearing eyeliner. Security told me that the "goth style" was not allowed (you know, like Green Day. HAHA). I had to wipe it off on my shirt before they'd let me in.

Maybe they don't allow the "motorcycle style" either. lol

Your 'colors' are the symbol of your club - wearing your jacket with the club logo or symbol or crest or whatever on it. The park doesn't want anyone 'flying their colors' at the park.

In homogenized, suburbian terms - no scary motorcycle gang jackets that might lead to trouble.

^^Great.. So much for wearing my leather chaps to Coaster Mania...

^ As long as they're not a**less chap, you should be fine. :)

Well it could be worse. Just remember that people used to dress up while visiting amusement parks in the early days, as if they were going to church. I still find that strange. Women wore dresses and men dressed up in suits! :)

Ahhh, thx for that. Had no idea.

Does this include yellow Coasterbuzz T-shirts? ;)

Anyone else imagining what an Enthusiast Rumble would look like?

Think of all of the shivs and shanks you could hide in a fanny pack.

Yes, and I still see people dressed that way sometimes at KI still.....(all fancy and such).

Yes, but people in general dressed a bit higher class then as well. People dressed up to go to the movie theater, girls wore skirts to school everyday and boys wore dress slacks, etc. It wasn't just dressing up to go to the amusement park.

^Yeah, even the "bathing suits" were proper. ;)

Yeah! Scary thought isn't it? I am surprised I haven't seen fights break out when the buffet was running low. ;)

I call Gonch's "side"!

So long as motorcycle patch vests are banned, can we start talking about banning coaster patch vests/jackets? :)

Yes please!

After the enthusiast's rumble, there would be chalk outlines in the shape of gravy boats on the midway... powdered sugar strewn everywhere... the forensic team confirms everyone's worst fears: those stains are melted Dippin' Dots.

Oooh, Carrie, bad choice. We all know Gonch isn't an enthusiast, so he wouldn't be in the rumble. He'd be at the gift shops raising the prices of band-aids and neosporin. ;)

That's exactly why she chose my side, RGB.

The lady isn't stupid. :)

Indeed. ;)

motorcycle colors...are prohibited"

Can you picture Kinzel singing this:

I am a nightmare walking psychopath talking
king of my jungle just a gangster stalking
Living life like a firecracker quick is my fuse
Then dead as a deathpack the colors I choose
red or blue cause a blood it just don't matta

My life is violent, but violent is life
peace is a dream, reality is a knife
my colors my honour my colors my all
with my colors upon me one soldier stands tall
tell me what have you left me, what have I got
last night in cold blood my young brother got shot
my home got jacked
my mother's on crack
my sister can't work cause her arms show trax

...Makes me wanna do the buffalo stance-thing...

;)
