So, the ride op uniforms will look like this? Those might not be the most practical solution...

I wouldn't want to stand all day in those strappy heels she has on.
Lugging around a sword would make operating the ride very difficult.
It would make it one of two rides at the park(the other being Escape from Pompeii) with dedicated uniforms. (Although i could be missing one)
Quick observation I saw. The side of the train car has lighting bolts representing Jupiter. There will be five cars per train and each might have a different symbol representing one of the five gods. I think it would be a neat touch. Of course this is speculation and may not be true but it would be a missed opportunity if they don’t.
At one point not long ago every hamlet and many major rides had their own uniforms. I still remember when I leaked the "bowling shirts." What a dark day in BGW history... ?
And often times there were specific costumes within each land depending on where you were working.
The ride is practically backstage, I might temper expectations for presentation.

Per the youtube description: Some stats: 76mph 95 degree drop tallest drop: 220' (the holding brake at the top of the drop is only there for speed correction to get the top speed right, the actual ride will most likely not have a brake there and be a few feet shorter than this) I looked back...

Ok, so I came up with a "story" for this ride this morning, and if BGW uses this please hire me, but it does require something this ride doesn't have.
~This is a tour of the ruins of Ancient Rome, where you walk through the gardens (queue) before boarding your chariot for the remainder of the tour.
~As you board, your chariot takes off and breaks away heading the wrong direction, into the legendary garden of the gods.
~Now, this is where I would have fought for on board audio as a creative person, but with the first launch a woman's voice (Minerva) says "What are you doing here?" as you enter the launch. And after exiting the helix she says "The wisdom you will gain..."
~A male voice (Mercury) kicks in, laughing says "The thrill of the speed...oh...nononono" (this is when you hit the tophat and go backwards), "Uh...Jupiter some help".
~Up on the spike a very deep male voice (Jupiter), "With the power of the skies" then a loud thunder clap as you start down.
~As you launch again the Mercury voice kicks back in with a simple "WooooooHHHHOOOOOOOO"
~As you start downward from the tophat, a regal male voice (Neptune) comes in "Behold the seas!"
~The HUGE outward banked turn has the sound of a ship re-surfacing.
~As you come off of that a 'sinister' voice (Pluto) says "You're going to like it down here"
~Jupiter comes back on as you are upside-down "Not if I have anything to say"
~And as you head into the "wave turn"/"wall stall" (whatever you call it), Minerva comes back on "Let me get you back home"
~Hitting the breaks the "tour guide" voice (station recoding voice), "oh man, thought I lost another group"
Ok now that my dream won't come true, I look forward to a great ride with a funny name and minimal theming. Yay InvadR2.0!!!!
