OMG!
Wow! I had no idea! That was extremely informative and highly amusing.
I always wondered about the folks in the suits, was always wary of them though because they creep me out.

I was the Pink Panther for a day at a Dow Corning Insulation event. There were a few pages of rules on how to act and what you can and can't do. It's hard to see out of the suits. I had guide with me the whole day, it really helps. The suits are hot and I had to have a 10 minute break with the mask off every hour.

nice article thanks for bringing that up

i work at an amusment park as a cashier (Paramount Canada's Wonderland) but i know people who work in these suits

hmmm here its a bit better.. in the suits you only work for 20 minutes then 20 minute break then work again for 20 min then 20 min break and so on..
also most suits have cooling fans so it doesnt sound as bad ..
also Canada's Wonderland is much smaller than Disney and people don't kick you lol

What kind of sick parent would say their kid was molested by Mickey! We've sunk to a new low....although Tinker Bell could do whatever she wanted to me

I've been to amusement parks all across Canada and the US and I still have the best memories from Wonderland.
