It's been confirmed over on the boards at Around The World that the 2007 Worlds of Fun brochure has the standardized Cedar Point font logo that popped up on Michigan's Adventure's website. Another version of the Kings Island one is included above.
I can now safely assume that all Cedar Fair parks will be using a similar logo this season. I know how I feel about this, how about you?
I've been to Darien Lake. It's not a bad park, it's just been mistreated by Six Flags like so many. And everyone knows how good Superman is. It's just sort of a confused property these days. I'm sure the new owners will work on removing that confusion, however. Here's a vacation guide-thing from 1995:
Look at the non-corporate photos!
Predator reminded me of Hercules ... that's not a good thing. I always thought it was such a pretty ride though, on the lake like that.
Viper was fun. Honestly, maybe I hit my head a few times but there's something about a big old Arrow looper that put a smile on your face. Also, the view from that ferris wheel is amazing.
I never saw this, I went years after it was gone. It always interested me. I'd love to know details of the show, and how it was. And who doesn't love beer sponsorship?
I wish Darien Lake well, really I do. I think it's a good park and hope the new owners take care of it and grow it back into what it used to be.
We've all been waiting for Cedar Fair Entertainment Company to show some sign of having made a decision about the Paramount name with the Paramount Parks. At least I have. Well, recently some logos have been appearing on the individual park sites, such as this:
And this:
So they're pretty plain, and in a font that Cedar Fair has used for some time, as far as I can tell originating back to Cedar Point logos of the 90s.
Anywho, that's great that they've moving toward a united front, but today I went to Michigan's Adventure's website and saw this:
Hello! Where did that come from? What was wrong with the old logo? Please tell me that they are not going to start to swap out the logos for the other parks and turn them into this! I'm a little worried about this one...
This is not a big update, let me tell you that ahead of time. There hasn't been much to report with the holidays, it's a very slow time of the year. Anyway, these pictures are from earlier this past week.
Please excuse the nasty weather. Winter has finally arrived in the Northeast (sorta). This is a picture of the corner of Lincoln Ave. and the entrance to the park, which is Dorney Park road. There is a survey flag on the corner. Is this big news? No. But at least it means someone came out to the park to start something.
They started to cut down the trees and brush that is on Lincoln Ave. This is the side of Lincoln that borders the overflow lot. Again, nothing huge, but a development nonetheless.
Another view of the same. I'm not sure if they're going to make another lane here and shift things so that two lanes go into the park and the third is left turn for non-Dorney traffic or if it's something else. I didn't catch that in the planning meeting notes, but they are not complete transcripts.
I'll keep checking and have more when it happens.
Six Flags Magic Mountain has removed Psyclone and Flashback from their website. 'People' are saying that they received e-mails from the park confirming the rides' removals. One of the rides was a rough wooden coaster and one was a never operating steel oddity.
This is seriously the off season of ride removals! It's exciting in an odd way.
If you remember, I had this advertising for Dominator at Dorney Park in the last fun facts:
And how I mentioned that it was a Knott's Berry Farm graphic from when they built Supreme Scream? Well, turns out I had that image the whole time!
Only the Knott's one is in color! Whohoo!
