geekman Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I just drove by KI and the new sign is up. I was going to take a picture but I forgot my camera. Quote
JacksonPKI Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Isn't It the Same as KD's Sign? Besides, I was there 2 weeks ago, and there were just a couple of Poles. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 ^ It was still the two poles last night. I will take pictures and load them on here tonight. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Just wait. I`m sure we`ll be able to see pictures of the sign soon enough! And with that, this is my 5,000th post on KICentral! Quote
JacksonPKI Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 ^Congrats CoastersRZ! How could they put up a sign overnight like they did? Quote
KIBeast Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 that is always a good sign That really gave me a good laugh! Congrats, CoastersRZ! Quote
dare-to-fly Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That's amazing! It makes me want to go down this weekend and take a look. I look forward to pictures being posted soon! Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Geeze, people. It just happened! I need time to upload. Give me ten minutes. Quote
Kawana Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Geeze, people. It just happened! I need time to upload. Give me ten minutes. Eagerly and patiently anticipating the upload, sir. Quote
geekman Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 I guess the top just went over top of those two poles because I heard on the morning news that it was going to be installed from 9:00 to 12:00. Quote
MarketingExpress Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 that is always a good sign no pun intended right? Quote
Shaggy Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 The news actually ran a story that the new sign was going up? Man, that thing IS a landmark! So are the initials for the park now K!I? ;-) Quote
Kawana Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I guess the top just went over top of those two poles because I heard on the morning news that it was going to be installed from 9:00 to 12:00. If that's the case, I wouldn't expect it to look like KD's sign. Quote
KIBeast Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 It's now been 10 minutes, Ryan! Andele', andele'! Quote
Kawana Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 On a side note, it's a little surreal that I'm staying online waiting for a picture of a sign. I never thought I was that addicted to KI, but I guess I am. I'm a logo freak and I'm ready to see what CF did. I think that signage throughout the park would reflect the main sign. Quote
geekman Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 The story about the sign going up was on Local 12 but when I was there a channel 5 news truck was there. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 The photos are now in the gallery, here. The sign was supposed to be constructed from 9-12, but the ODOT wouldn't allow such a huge object to be transported during rush hour, so they wouldn't let it leave Columbus until 9am. Construction started around noon and the top part was being welded around 3:00. Quote
JacksonPKI Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Come on, Man, The Theme Park world is waiting,,, That means you, ryan! Edit: Oops, you posted it before I did! Quote
Kawana Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 That's about what I expected. I guess the top "coaster hill" logo is here to stay. It seems to be a company wide thing. I never realized the thing I was talking about was an exclamation point. Quote
Avatar Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 So Ryan when will the night shots be posted tonight? BTW thanks for the photos Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 ^ It was still the two poles last night. I will take pictures and load them on here tonight. Drat, drat and double drat! Ryan, you beat me to it! I don't get up there until 5:20 every day, but I'll probably just swing by and take my own pictures tonight anyway... Quote
DropZone99 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 On one of the pictures i noticed that there were a few Coke machines in the parking lot... do you think KI is getting rid of them to get Pepsi machines? I really hope so. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Good eye emobeaver, those vending machines are typically under one of the huts there and stocked during the winter. Wonder why they were disconnected, moved, and facing the other way. Quote
RaCeR Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I acuttually liked the old one better (not because of paramount)because there was alot more themeing into it.Now its just going to be that ugly baje color. Quote
DropZone99 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 The sign is about the same color, if not the same color. Quote
