Favorite Character Ride Sign

The other thread about the removal of these signs made me think of which of these was my favorite. I would have to say the cowboy in front of the Mean Streak. The Blue Streak guy and the Swabinchen chick closely follow, though. What do the rest of you think?

Here's to wood in 2002!

Magnum Space Guy... hands down!

Tough Question!

Magnum Imperial Trooper, Gemini Astronaut, Or Blue Streak Superhero.

Of course the Magnum one, but the Wave Swinger one was cool and long with WWL.

The Monster's, or the guy making eggs for the scrambler sign..lol one of my friends found that to be hilarious..

I have to say the MANTIS is the scariest!!! A mantis dressed up in late '90's street clothes! LOL

what did Raptor's look like? All I can picture is the logo.

The Calypso and Turnpikes girls (my husband's rides), the Iron Dragon, and Disaster Transport (my rides!) -- even though I can't remember that one too well! They kept moving the entrance every year.

What was the one for Power Tower? I know they had one, but I can't seem to remember it...

Steuks!!

The character sign for PT featured a "wacky" scientist. I should know, I sat next to the thing for a whole season.

Favorite--Jr. Gemini.

Least Favorite--Corkscrew.

They are all kind of my favorite now because I miss them.

There was something about the Blue Streak's superhero guy, Demon Drop's demon, and (blast from the past time) Avalanche Run's St. Bernard that I always liked. Trivia: where has the St. Bernard been for the past few years? It is in a public place.

Answer: TGI Friday's in Sandusky

There was something about that guy from the Blue Streak sign. Which brings up another trivia question: Who is he modeled after? (OTT - you can't answer!). He looks very much like the guy in the Mean Streak sign as well:

Sigh, I think I liked them ALL now that they aren't there. I never like the BS one, that guy scared me. Mantis bothered me too, looked totally outdated. I'll have to say Gemini, Magnum, and C-screw just for the memories of them when I really started to get coaster fever back

*-CP Irvine-* I know who's fault it is!
*The FewER, The Proud, The Po!nter Girls*

I liked the mantis and storm troopers.

Come on Walt let me answer! The Blue Streak one is the one I have always like and would want. (Hey my birthday is next friday so if you are looking for that last minute gift:))

I know you know that answer - you're the one who told me in the first place!

I hate to say this but Walt and Scott might be wrong about the Avalanche Run's St. Bernard sign. The evidence can be found on this site:
