mcjaco Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Seriously, it's about time. That sign is an eyesore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 This is good - the kind of thing that they should be paying attention to. There are a lot of big things that are still a mess with Six Flags parks, but at least they are paying attention to the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSLSM Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 While I kind of liked the old sign, this one looks great and it is a good replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterdude5 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 That is nice, the park could use one. I guess Shapiro is doing a pretty good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMC Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 To answer a question posted here, the old sign looked just, well, OLD- very 70'sish- more like a Bank time/temp LED scrawl than anything more current than the 80's or 90's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpartanTS Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Someone post some pics of the old sign. Â You all know that admission is going to go up $20 to pay for that sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcjaco Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Doesn't the company have more important things to worry about? Â Definitely. Â The sign for SFGAm has been in pretty bad shape the past couple of years. I'd rather see the cash go into something else (like getting Deja Vu or Revolution running consistantly), but you have to start somewhere....

SFGAm Shock Wave Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 http://www.greatamericaparks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=155#155 Â That is the sign in its current state. The scrolling part no longer works, and they added a Hurricane Harbor logo on each side of the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfie Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 We passed SFGAm on our Coach bus from Chicago yesterday - the new sign has been installed! It features a VERY nice color display. Sadly, I had JUST run out of film on my disposable camera and wasn't able to get a picture of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrider06 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I like it, way better then the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I really like the new sign, and it is a lot nicer than the old one from 1976. It looks really nice, and it is good that they finally got a real sign for Hurricane Harbor instead of just a tarp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
