fryler87 Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 This is a waste of a topic, but I know of two things that we are getting. One: Boomerang Bay (and the more obvious yet overlooked one...) Two: A new sign...wheeeeee!!! I can't wait to see what it's gonna be like, I hope it's sweet. P.S. I really don't care if this topic is closed or deleted.
fyrfyter Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 I hope it color, that way it really looks good zipping up 71.
PKI_Man Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 the new screen is gonna be a LCD Screen like the roberts center outside of wilmington
Dane Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 It is not clear when the sign will be done. It has become project and is now in the design stages. The target done date is opening day of the 2004 season, but remember this is only a target date. Meaning it may not be done by that time.

Beastfreak Posted November 30, 2003 Posted November 30, 2003 To far out of my way, sorry. Just imagine the the Jumba-tron at any ballpark/stadium.

Not to mention the fact, that LCD's are pretty fragile, and two pieces of glass for a sign with liquid crystals between them would be heavy as lead. Most jumbo-Trons and the like are Made with LEDs, or Light Emitting Diodes, the same kinds of LEDs that show up on video Game consoles like PS2, when you turn them on. LEDs are cheap, efficient, and last a really long time, without using tons of power, and overall they are lightweight. The cost is pretty steep, a 41ft X 24ft Sony JumboTron like you see at all the stadiums, will set you back an easy $6.2 million. Now there's a heck of an Xmas gift! Edited January 1, 1970 by fyrfyter
bradb055 Posted December 1, 2003 Posted December 1, 2003 That is correct fyrfyter. I believe most, if not all, jumbotrons are led's. As far as the price goes, I'll just have to take your word on it.
fryler87 Posted December 1, 2003 Author Posted December 1, 2003 So with a new sign and Boomerang Bay going in (the only two big projects), I can't wait to see if PKI spent some good time and money on making the park look great. If it does for next year, a huge ride for 2005 would sure make PKI a revitalized park. Let's see what happens...
PKIDelirium Posted December 2, 2003 Posted December 2, 2003 i think Top Gun's theming will be improved
