As for the new screen at the front gate, it looks nice except for the front gate is very dirty under the screen. It desperately needs pressure washed. And the exposed conduit to the right of the screen, come on Cedar Point. Don't half ass this thing, that should be out of sight. Aside from that, looks great!

Now, 99er...simma don-na. Your conduit was given its final adjustment today and is out of sight. At least give us till Opening Day! We're not done!@r$!11! :)

What did this new screen replace on the entrance? Did it replace that "Cedar Point" sign?

Good one;)

Now you know I have to nitpick seeing as how I am not around anymore to ensure everything that needs pressure washing, gets pressure washed. And what are you doing posting this late, you work 9-5:)

Don't let 99er pressure wash anything without putting sunscreen on his feet first.

Man with all these signs this year, I'm gonna feel like a kid in a candy store. Ever since I've started in the sign industry, I appreciate signs a bit more now. So yea, lovin the new signage this year guys. Maybe one day I can come and work in the sign division there with the knowledge I've gathered.......maybe.;)

Signs that point to lemon chill stands.....

Can't wait till Opening Day to see these screens in person! Can't wait. The park definattly needed these small improvements her and there.

It did replace the Cedar Point sign that was below the flags with the words "Welcome to Cedar Point".

Aw, I liked that sign. Oh well, I'm sure this new one fill be fine.

I take it these screens are water proof?

Either that or they hired a guy to hold an umbrella over it on rainy days. Probably the brother of the guy that does it for the scoreboard at Indians games.

Just what we need is a dancing fountain. Maybe it is for the people who attempt to jump in the fountain. They will look at it first and realise that the fountain is not SC.

New opening weekend scavenger hunt:

I love that the scavenger hunt is now sponsored...haha

And they're giving away a plasma TV and theatre system. There goes the idea that you can't give away a plasma TV, cause they are.

On top of that, they made it easier than last year....Tony must be getting soft in his old age.

Wow that was way to easy. I'd feel a bit guilty filling it out and sending it in on opening weekend. Kinda like I got to see a test and write down the right answers before the day of the test.;)
Last years was fun and enough of a challenge. Don't see the need for multiple choice.

Could it be they wanted a contest that the general public could have fun participating in and not just something that only the enthusiasts will be able to complete?

Exactly, the general public would not find it too easy, especially since they have more answers than photos. Also, the prize they have is great. This should result in a lot of people participating and having some fun with the contest.

It'll defiantly be a fun one. But I agree that this one is more directed toward the gp. The one at coastermania was aimed at....well you know, thus it was a bit more difficult.

Those banners are AWESOME I think. I also LOVE the Magnum being on that front entrance sign.

BTW, is that middle souvineir stand gone in the middle of the entrance? I wonder why they would take that away.

I think there are enough places to find souvenirs inside the park. Looks better without it if you ask me.

It seems a little empty I guess. Hopefully they will replace it with a nice garden or something.

That would have been a good place for a fountain.
