Sneak Peak! New Ride Signs and Logos

[Beast1979 727]

They could have been worse. I wonder what they'll do with the mini cooper cars?

[LongliveKingsCobra 1366]

Probly nothing keep those the same cause they dont need to be fixed in my opinon

[Rollerzach 11]

some people hate the change, and i love the new change

but i still dont like the name Flight Deck

its so stupid.....

[Beast1979 727]

^Stupid, no.

room for improvement, yes.

[KIfan73 4193]

I'm pleasantly surprised with the changes. I think its cool they sent KIC the pics, too.

The Kings Island Theater is one of those things in the park that is so blatantly straight out of the '70's. For me, thats a lot of its charm. However, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get a modern make-over in the next few years. The reason I think this is that CF seems to be putting a lot of emphasis on the shows. The inside is fine, but some sprucing up in the front could really bring some excitement to that portion of the park.

Personally, i liked the Paramount Theatre's sign better than how it is now. The Crypt's sign looks awesome, it kind of fits in more with Rivertown. I don't like Backlot Stunt Coaster's sign that much, it still looks like IJST. Ive seen Flight Deck's sign at King's Dominion, and it looks awesome.

I love the BLSC sign and the KI Theatre sign. The Crypt is so-so i think they may could have done a little more with it. I am anxious to see what the inside of it will look like.

[PKIVortex 3706]

The new signs look great, but something does look a little odd with the KI Theater sign.

[Beast1979 727]

I love the KI Theatre Sign. Real origional. The Crypt looks cool. I think they could have done more with BLSC (BSC?).

[Cody 504]

Did anyone get the "Drop Tower" pic?

I think the full name is....

Drop Tower

Just so you guys know, the name of this thread says "sneak peak " Shouldn't it be peek, because PEAK is like, a mountain peak. Peek is looking at something. Just thought I'd let you know.

[kjkjkj 527]

Is it me, or does our Crypt sign look ten times better that Kings Dominion's (14th Picture Down) HERE

[Beast1979 727]

^Ya KI's has some moss on it.

[kjkjkj 527]

Theirs is almost totally flat, ours actually has depth, and stuff, on each of those little blocks on the ring, and ours has more than two colors.

I think you might me mistaken here, because KD doesn't have a Flight Deck that I know of. But I'd assume KI's FD logo will look similar to the one at CGA. I found this pic of it through a Google search.

^Yes, we are Sooo lucky, aren't we?

[xbubbles513x 1]

My dad actually put up the paramount theatre sign, so its kinda sad for me to see it go.

Plus, I would annoy my boyfriend everytime we would walk by it and say "Hey, did you know my dad put up that sign" lol.

THANK YOU!!! I have been looking and waiting for someone to post that!!!!! I think it will look great at KI too.And I thought all the names were stupid,but after seeing what they look like,I think their pretty cool!

So.... either your dad or his company put up the Kings Island Theatre sign too.

[iChase 37]

That Flight Deck logo is pretty sweet.

[cholderfield 134]

i thought this was kinda strange...take a look at Kings Dominion Theater's new sign...

It kept a lot of the same theme of the Paramount sign...while King's Island is gone...

[CoastersRZ 5900]

And there could be several reasons for that. It could be that there was some sort of structural issue (ie water damage, or rot) that was cost prohibitive to keep that pre-facade set of columns on KI`s theater.

And I do not think that the KI Theater sign looks that bad. I mean, they did keep it as a neon sign. Had they wanted to do it cheap, it would have been a simple graphics sign like the attraction guideline signs. Keep in mind that with neon signs, the cost associated with purchasing the signs is only a portion of the costs. You have the cost of actually mounting the signs in place, as well as all the labor costs for running the electrical supplies to each of the new sign locations.

Wow, the Kings Dominion one looks ALOT better than the Kings Island one.

[Beast1979 727]

^Which makes me question the

"To be consistant with other Cedar Fair Parks" bull.

DING!DING!DING! We have a winner! That facade was in terrible shape. The carpenters spent hours each year before the park opened trying to fix bad spots and paint the peeling paint again!

[cholderfield 134]

was the KD's theater sign newer or just kept in better shape?

[Beast1979 727]

Yes.

Beast, who just HAD to...

I was kinda sad when they took down the sign that said American Heritage Music Hall.

No, my dad didn't put it up, but it was a much classier name and was a bit patriotic.

[coaster_junky 280]

i really liked the crypt's logo and sign, but i have to dissagree and say i don't like backlot's new sign b/c stunt coaster is really dominating backlot unlike the italian job's where stunt track was written smaller in the bottom corner, and i think that Kings Island theater looks very plain without the columns.

Nope, he didnt put up the new one. I wonder who did. I am going to guess that Cedar Fair hired a company to travel and put up the new signs in all of the parks.
