Dan Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Paramount's Kings Island continues to bring Hollywood to the Midwest with the announcement of their much-anticipated new marquee. Modeled after one of the most recognizable images in Hollywood, the new marquee resembles the famous Bronson Gates that grace the entrance to the Paramount Pictures Movie Studio in Hollywood, CA. When complete in late summer, the elaborate new sign will stand over 80 feet tall and reach 49 feet wide. In addition, the sign has 40-foot tall Corinthian columns and iron gates spanning 13 feet in height and 30 feet in length. The first visible signs of the new marquee include two large, red supports that are erected in the parking lot where the former marquee stood since 1978. The original Paramount's Kings Island landmark was destroyed last September during an early morning storm. Registered members can vote on wether they like the sign or not here.

italianchef Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 For some reason, it looks more Victorian than Hollywood to me. Have a great day! Italian Chef :chef: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theultimatefan Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I think that it would be neat if they had that @ the entrance to the park, where you actually drive though it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Now that is wickedly cool I love that sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx2cansamxX Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I guess I'm an outcast when I say it doesn't fit the theme of the park? I mean it's a nice sign, no doubt about it, but not for a Hollywoodised park. But I guess that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCTfreak Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Your not the only one, i dont really like it either, why can it just be like the other sign, plan simple to the point, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Have you all forgotten? its a PARAMOUNT park now thats why.Besides I think it makes the park look more classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xx2cansamxX Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Classy? Yes. Is Paramounts Kings Island a "classy" park? No. It is a nice sign, but doesn't fit the common good of the park. It is now hollywoodised, but that sign doesnt look it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
