That explains everything I hope it falls over  http://themeparkcritic.com/scripts/profile/ViewProfile.asp?ViewID=2909

I think it looks terrible. I know the sign wasnt cheap but I hope it falls over too.

Me, personally, I like it. Just clean/repaint the base and it will be better.
Very nice! Although it looks strange driving southbound it looks awesome driving north. I hope they fix and paint the part directly under the screen though because it looks like it was damaged. Though definitley a big improvement on the last one.

"Oh My Gosh, She is such a whore!" - heard behind me exiting Raging Bull.
Woo I'm not the only one with this exact thought running through my head.
It's not like this is a message board where people are bound to have different opinions.
Hah! Who ever thought of such a silly idea.
You are entitled to your own opinion... My opinion is you are all whining about something cause there is nothing else to whine about.. Get over it. Its a sign. It looks better than it did. I’m sure they are going to fix the base where its messed up and paint it. Just get over it!

That angled screen looks really bad.
I agree with Fparker. Take the angle out of the screen, or angle the top of the sign and it would be fine in my opinion. Whoever made the decision to angle that screen really screwed up. Oh well, though like said above it's just a sign. The old one wasn't the greatest either. Thanks for posting the pictures Jon. Go Bulls!

I drove past the park today and was THRILLED to see the new sign in place! It is a MAJOR improvement over the old one, which had worn out its welcome many years ago when they had to illuminate it with ground-level spotlights to make it viewable at night! The video screens are angled to give passing traffic a better view of the display. If wind didn't take down the old one, it won't take down the new one, either, unless it is struck by a tornado. They will definitely be painting the sign pylon when the weather allows. This is a far better advertisement for our home park, and I can hardly wait to see it operating! Thank you to the park for taking care of this!!!!!
 We should all remember to be thankful to have a world-class theme park like Six Flags Great America here in our local area!
it looks really crummy with the old post...

The only reason why they used the old post was because of Gurnee's current sign law which only allows a sign of up to like 125 sq. ft. if I remember right (Likely not.) The old sign was I think they said 1200 sq. ft. and this new one is 900 sq. ft. They considered this a "grandfathered" in because they are using the same pole, so therefore it is the same sign.

What he said! LOL and U'm not whining about it. I like the new sign. From being one of the class geeks in 8th grade to one of the most noticable ones in High School. Thats what you call "Steppin Yo Game Up!"
When I drove by yesterday the LED portion of the sign was turned on, and even in heavy fog it is very clear and easy to read. The angle makes it so you don't have to look at the sign, you can keep your attention on the road and still be able to read it.

^Which is a smart move angling the sign. Unlike the Allstate arena LCD display which isn't angled and you have to take your eyes off the road even more to read it.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.
Well Im glad the sign works

^ Read the topic. There are 2 pictures posted near the top of the page. All that is missing are the ads.
It looks a lot better in this picture that they posted on Screamscape...
Hello everyone,
Now, I don't mind that Screamscape "borrowed" the picture I took, in fact, I'm glad that they did. However, I just wanted to point out where the picture came from, and who took it. If you look at my post over at GreatAmericaParks.com http://www.greatamericaparks.com/forums ... ight=#4503 I took it on my way to work on the morning of Wednesday, December 20th. Its a crop of the first picture. Again, I don't care and I don't mind. Just wanted to let everyone on here know where it came from. I also figured it was time to create an account over here. I've been reading a lot over the past season, so I figured I would sign up.
Brian,
