Delirium13 Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 I miss having a sign out there, nice clock! I agree and it just looked nicer than just a flat parking lot! I hope they get a new one soon! Quote
Captain Obvious Posted May 5, 2004 Posted May 5, 2004 Yea I miss not seeing the sign there. It looked cool at night, and the marqee so bright you could stand underneigh it and see your shadow easily. Quote
docdude316 Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 Any word on the sign? Do you think they'll wait until The Beast's Birthday to unveil it? Will we even get a new sign this season? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 Last I heard the new sign should be in place by the middle of Summer, I would say around mid-July, but I really don`t have a clue. Once the park gets all the permits and zoning variances in place, it shouldn`t take long for the new sign to be built. Quote
KIBeast Posted May 24, 2004 Posted May 24, 2004 We will get a new sign this season. I've heard we'll have to wait until June. Quote
m@ilman Posted May 25, 2004 Posted May 25, 2004 TheRickster and I have a running Joke...saying when the sign will come, Marketing will advertise it as: "The Worlds Tallest, Fastest, and only Looping....sign" m@ilman BTW, BoddaH...i was watching the coaster videos on PKI.com today (i was bored). I know we have discussed this before, but the video they have for Son of Beast IS NOT shot at PKI (The lake/river in the Rosebowl is a dead giveaway...)...but i forget where it was...do you remember?

Just watched it myself. Some of it looks kind of cheezy.. I think it's a simulation. Quote
Columbus coasternut Posted May 26, 2004 Posted May 26, 2004 I was by the park today looks like the new sign should be going up soon there was a crane and materials by where the old sign used to be I will be going to the park thursday and will be taking some pics if there is any activity around that area I will let everyone know Quote
Columbus coasternut Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 New sign is starting to take shape I arrived at the park around 10:30 this morning when I pulled into the goldpass lot just as I saw yesterday except for one of the new poles was in place when I came back to the car around 1:00pm both post had been arrected they are a ugly red primer color and are roughly standing 10 to 15 feet apart Quote
Dane Posted May 28, 2004 Posted May 28, 2004 I took a few photos, I'll get them up for you guys ASAP. Ok, I put them up on this page. http://www.pkicentral.com/Parkinfo/editori...signrebuild.htm Quote
Captain Obvious Posted May 29, 2004 Posted May 29, 2004 Cool! Thanks for the photos, it's looking huge! Quote
nightrider19 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 By the size of those supports i would venture to say it will be SLIGHTLY bigger than the old sign, was the old one there when the park opened or what year did it come about? Quote
PKIDelirium Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 It was there when the park opened, sans LED board and paramount Logo Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 I can almost bet it will have sometime thing like Hollywood in the Midwest or something like that on the sign. Quote
BoddaH1994 Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 I talked to Siebert at the filming. The sign will be rougly the size of the old one, and will also be a gold marquis. It has the potential to do annimations, but they will not be using them. The sign will simply be to close to the expressway and could cause confusion, so it can't change more often than every 12 seconds or so. I'm sure it'll look great. He jokingly said that the footers go all the way down to the center of the Earth so our children's children's children's children can enjoy the sign. Expect to see more construction in July. The footers they have must sit for about a month. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 http://pcwjunkies.com/images/intro/calenda...dar/cover04.jpg Look at that, Canada's Wonderland's sign. THe base lokos jsut like our new one! Quote
beastdude Posted June 28, 2004 Posted June 28, 2004 I just hope there is more difference than just the name. Quote
Knoxville Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 I have heard that the sign will not look like theres, more like the sign outside of paramount studios in hollywood. Quote
Mr. Christopher Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 The Bronson Gate would look pretty cool as a sign. Quote
Vortexlover2 Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 The new sign is -finally- up. It is quite a bit bigger though... Quote
Vortexlover2 Posted July 1, 2004 Posted July 1, 2004 oops! the news letter said almost up, but it also said it's bigger! Quote
specialk141 Posted July 3, 2004 Author Posted July 3, 2004 Vortex, i beleive the news letter says "the same size, wtih a bigger marquis" so the marquis will be bigger but the actual sign will be roughly the same size. the newsletter also says it will incorporate the gates to the design... i'm excited!
