DTConcepts Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I can't find/remember who, but someone in the Airport Logo Thread suggested this thread got started. Below are my two local theme park logos. What are your favorite/local theme park logos? "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..."

MC Buffalo Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 There are two locally. Darien Lake in Corfu, NY outer ring suburb of Buffalo, which used to be associated with Six Flags but is now independant. It has amusement rides and a full water park. It actually started in the late 70's as just a water park. Current Logo Previous one We also have Fantasy Island in Grand Island NY, between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, which is geared more to the "Under 12" Crowd.

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

LAWeaver Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm not a big fan of amusement parks, but Dollywood (Pigeon Forge, TN) has to be the one I've enjoyed the most: EDIT: @nash61, Canada's Wonderland's logo reminds me of King's Island (Mason, OH), which is also a theme park: @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Glorious childhood. Pretty good recent one, although that woman(child?) on the left is too photoshopped in. My fav logo for a ride. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Take out some of the gradients and little details and this would actually be a solid athletic logo. As a ride logo, it's one of the best. (In case you can't tell, this is at Canada's Wonderland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to either in years, but I drive past DW when on my way to my parents' house. I wish the Hershey logo still had the rainbow ferris wheel thing on it, but I like how versatile the new one is for Halloween, Christmas and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramount parks had a logo template that included the movie studio logo and a standard typeface. Cedar Fair parks used to have unique logos for each park, but after they acquired the Paramount parks, they introduced new logos for all the parks based on the style and typeface of Cedar Point's logo. The only park that didn't adopt the Cedar Point typeface is Knott's Berry Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001mark Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 This one's nostalgic from my childhood. Was there as 5, 12, & 14yr old. The mouse ears alt logos were boss. @2001mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carowinds (Charlotte NC/ Ft.Mill SC) was in that group too. the property is on the NC/SC state line so they promoted both state flags on the old logos.
