Origin of the Name and Relationship to Pier Pressure

The "mustache ride" during which Mustache Bridge acquired it's name.

The name "Mustache Bridge" came about during a Pier Pressure ride on August 12, 2007. Select participants of the ride had with them face paint from the previous night's Clown Ride and decided everyone should have painted facial hair of some nature. At the last Pier Pressure stop, which is almost always Mustache Bridge, a pedestrian and cyclist barricade was established. The only way a person could cross the bridge was if they had facial hair (painted on or real).

This spawned the "Mustache to pass!" phrase that then became permanently attributed to the bridge.
