Carowinds2005 Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Carowinds has posted their new logo on their front page, its before the Borg picture loads. Are they trying to market it like a Cedar Point of the south with the flag? Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 A Cedar Point that closes at 8 on weekdays in the high season-summer, except on July 4? My head hurts! Quote
Vortex Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 The brown road signs may not be changed for a while, there is still a sign in Lebanon that has the pre-Paramount logo. Also on the way back to Cincinnati before you go threw the tunnels you will see a sign for River Front. Ohio has alot of old signs still up. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Don't forget the Americana sign on southbound Rt. 4 near the park. Quote
CoastersNSich Posted January 16, 2007 Author Posted January 16, 2007 Ladies and Gentlemen, the writing is on the wall. Seeing as how no one has a physical season pass yet, no official announcement has been made, the sign off the high way still has Paramount with a mountain, the brown road side sigs nhave not changed, and the letter I received today have a Paramount letter head and symbol on them, there is no writing on the wall, and no hard proof, that Paramount has been removed from the park. Having also gone in the HR office and seen one of the papers showing this new logo, is proof that Paramount is indeed being removed from the park, if not quickly. The brown road signs may not be changed for a while, there is still a sign in Lebanon that has the pre-Paramount logo. Also on the way back to Cincinnati before you go threw the tunnels you will see a sign for River Front. Ohio has alot of old signs still up. Yeah, the brown signs that say "Stadium Coliseum," with the icons of Riverfront Coliseum and Riverfront Stadium. Technically, there is a "Stadium" on the riverfront, and that building that used to be called Riverfront Coliseum... Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Well, Carowinds2005, unless you are seeing something that I`m not I don`t see the new Carowinds logo on their website. Before the picture of Borg loads, I see a blue background with their Paramount logo displayed in white. Quote
PKIVortex Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I see the new Carowinds logo in white on a blue background for the picture of Borg loads, so not sure what your seeing CoastersRZ. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 I see the new Carowinds logo in white on a blue background for the picture of Borg loads, so not sure what your seeing CoastersRZ. Same here! Let's not make a mountain out of a....oops! Quote
Reclaimer Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Leave it to interpreter for the great jokes Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 It's doing it at http://www.pgathrills.com , too! and http://www.kingsdominion.com and http://www.canadaswonderland.com Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Its doing it at all the paramount parks sites....except KI....which is showing Great Wolf Lodge and no flash animation. Also note that all the other paramount sites are still sporting Coca-Cola very prominently. Quote
Reclaimer Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 darn Great Wolf Lodge. If it weren't for that ad, we'd probably see our nice new logo as well. Counting down to a new website? Hope so! Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Oddly enough, and perhaps signifying nothing, many of those park websites still proudly sport a large Coca-Cola sponsorship! Quote
CoastersRZ Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Alright. I am using a MAC with Firefox installed, and even after refreshing the page, I still see the old logo. (I recently upgraded to the latest flash plug in for Firefox, so it must be some sort of compatibility issue with my Mac. Quote
PKIVortex Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Yeah I say if wasn't for the GWL thing on PKI's site, we would be seeing the new logo. Kings Dominion looks funny, using the flags for all of the dotting of the i's. Quote
Reclaimer Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Alright. I am using a MAC with Firefox installed, and even after refreshing the page, I still see the old logo. (I recently upgraded to the latest flash plug in for Firefox, so it must be some sort of compatibility issue with my Mac. I just tried it out on my Mac with Firefox and I'm seeing the new logos. I'm not really sure...have you cleared your cache and all that? Did ya check your TCP/IP settings? Enable cookies? You want this dog? Quote
PKIDelirium Posted January 16, 2007 Posted January 16, 2007 Works fine for me on my Mac with Camino, Firefox, and Safari... Quote

Kings Dominion looks funny, using the flags for all of the dotting of the i's. Even stranger, it's NEW flash, and yet HypersonicXLC is still in it! Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Also, if you blow up the purported new logo, you can see the "i" in Kings Island is one of those same flags in all the other new ex-PP logos... http://www3.paramountparks.com/kingsisland...ts/07_KI_JR.jpg Quote
Reclaimer Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 They're sure using the hell out of that flag. Quote
fan of beast Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Wha?? Where is that? it's at the on ramp from rt. 63 onto rt. 48 Quote
KI-ORIG-EMP Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I will find out when I go out to HR on Friday. Maybe another wind storm will blow by and take down the old KI sign out front.... ..and put up a sign with the "P" word missing?? Mike Quote

CoastersRZ Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Well, I cleared my cache in Firefox, and that seems to have done the trick. I can now see the new Carowinds logo. I`m not too sure how I feel about the image off to the left of the logo. While better than the Paramount mountain, it still is part of the corporate logo of Cedar Fair Entertianment Co. Why couldn`t they have given each park its own logo like they have in the past. I also don`t get why they want a flag in the logo. But generally, I like the new logo. Quote
PKIVortex Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 We are still not 100 percent sure this will be the logo for the park. Maybe just a temporary logo for right now. Only time will tell. Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Whatever it is, there is no mountain and no P word.... Quote
PKIVortex Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Well that's a giving, considering the park isn't ownd by the P word or anyone associated with the P word. Quote
Reclaimer Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 I'm wondering if it's just a placeholder image. I bet the P word is gone, and that could well be the font they'll use for the parks. But instead of the CF logo, maybe they're going to stick a Snoopy character next to each park's name. Or they might be deciding to maybe to something with Spongebob instead. Ugh Quote
The Interpreter Posted January 17, 2007 Posted January 17, 2007 Well that's a giving, considering the park isn't ownd by the P word or anyone associated with the P word. That was just as true under CBS, by the way... I doubt even they were going to keep the P word. Quote
