Strange Signs at KI

[XGatorHead 8904]

When we were at the park on June 26th, we decided to sit near the Royal Fountain so Mrs. Gator and I could enjoy our Graeter's and GatorGirl could enjoy her watermelon rock candy from the Candy Shop. Out of the blue GatorGirl asks "Daddy, why does that tree say '2 deg Y'?" I looked to where she was pointing and saw what she was talking about:

I told her I didn't know, but took a picture of it. This tree is next to the Royal Fountain just outside the Candy Shop.

My next visit a few days later I happened to see this tree again, and wondered if there were any more trees with signs on them around the fountain. So I walked around the fountain and found one more:

This one is right outside the Keyhole Photo location at Emporium, near the Eiffel Tower.

These are the only two I found, and I haven't noticed any others around the park. Has anyone here seen any others, and do any of you know what they're for?

just a guess, but maybe track markers for run Kings Island?

edit: just realized that a sign almost hidden by the leaves of a tree might not be the most helpful to someone trying to stay on course.

I thought maybe Run Kings Island at first too, but figured not since one sign says "Start" and the Run Kings Island course doesn't start there, it starts out in the parking lot.

Maybe it's something like "The Beast Challenge" or has something to do with the challenge itself??.

Run Kings Island doesn't start until August. So, I would safely bet it is not for the Run Kings Island event. But it is very peculiar.

I bet its a hint for a new attraction coming!?!?!??!

I'm thinking scavenger hunt. Deg for Degree turn? Start? Signs hidden in trees? Scavenger hunt seems to be the most likely explanation.

After noticing the signs have degree markings on them, Im going to guess that it's for some sort of geocaching or scavenger hunting activity that involves GPS units or compasses.

I did think I spied a wireless hub mounted on the side of the roof of the candy shop building at the entrance to Coney Mall (near The Racer) when I was at the park this past Wednesday. I can`t confirm as I did not have any wifi devices with me that day. I too spotted one of those odd signs. Not sure what its for, but I`m sure they are there for a reason, and someone knows it.

I think it's for The Beast Challenge. It spells something.

Let K[x, y] be the polynomial algebra in 2 variables over a field K of ... 2 (because deg h(y) , which means I am screwed cause I have no idea what I just said

edit: I imagine it is for a company picnic such as the signs we saw earlier that were of a suspicious nature.

Maybe somebody could ask at the 5@..Wait...Nevermind.

I think its just a thing for company picnics, you find a sign, degrees lead you to other trees with signs, and you finish somewhere.

[Fire-Beast-OF FEAR]

I think it's for The Beast Challenge. It spells something.

What is The Beast Challenge?
