Did they ever fix the Viper sign, the tongue that was broken off?

This is the only other Whizzer sign I know of:

Actuallly I thought that SFGAm didn't have a Whizzer sign in the front entrance. Before the Whizzer sign today (as someone has posted a picture in this topic already), I don't remember another one being there in the front entrance.

Since Ron/Wolf has been going to SFGAm (29 years I believe he said before), have you seen another front entrance sign before this one?

Or is there anyone that can find a picture without a front entrance Whizzer sign?

Even though this probably was back in the late 70's, this was the only other Whizzer sign I could find.

When I said that, I was just talking about where the entrance to the ride is. Before the sign today that says Whizzer, I don't believe there was one until they put that up. So, thanks for everyone trying.

I like the Deja Vu sign a lot. I think the color scheme and everything about those signs are sweet looking. Gotta love the vu. ;)

I've always wanted one of those yosemite sam "no smoking" signs that are in the lines of Iron Wolf and I think another ride somewhere.

Where is there a Marriott's logo on Fiddler's Fling and Triple Play?
You see I like the cubs and the white sox. If it came down to the world series I'd pick the cubs.

There isn't. Those rides came in before SF owned it so they are older signs. No one cares about changing it, so I changed the topic to favorite signs.

Thanks; I had never seen that one before. Maybe I have, but I don't remember it. It looks like the one they probably used right when they changed the name.
