Theme Park Characters/Face Characters

These people not only wear costumes, but also interact with the guests by improving their acting and theatrical expertise as part of their jobs. Like the Atmosphere Characters, they are assisted by a character host at all times. An example of a change for the better came in the 1980s, when park executives (and Michael Eisner) decided to change the Mad Hatter from an atmosphere character into a face character so they will be allowed to interact with guests.
