and I'm not with stupids ;)

You think the MiA logo is bad, check out PCW's new logo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%27s_Wonderland makes me not even want to visit.

It looks like they paid 2 cents to type it up on word and call it a brand.

^Now realize that the CF logo will go to the left of that and it will all be left justified. All of the parks will have this same font/logo when it is all said and done.

...what? Really? Who knew...

I think it kind of is a shame CF is becoming like a brand name to all of their parks, and using generic (not horrible looking, but generic) logos for every park. To me, if they ever had a brand before, it was their unique classic/retro logos like the ones for Worlds of Fun or Valleyfair. *** Edited 1/28/2007 7:57:01 PM UTC by P18***

Is there any news on whether Knott's, Dorney, Valleyfair, WoF, GL, or CP are changing their logos to match this new trend? It seems to me that this might just be a temporary trend for the former Paramount Parks (& MiA for some reason) since they are phasing out the Paramount licensing and obviously couldn't use the old logos since "Paramount" was the most prominent part of it.

^to answer some of that, lets go back a page for Swoosh's post...

Well they've done it. I picked up a new 2007 brochure for Worlds of Fun and they have the same font and corporate logo as MiA's new logo. So those of you who thought YOUR park wasn't going to get the same treatment might as well think again.

*groan* CF is trying to become Brand Name. :(

Just to let everyone know that might be interested, I took several pictures today of the water tower with various different view points.

Thus far I've heard nothing about Valleyfair! changing their logo. There is no change noted on their website. Hopefully it will remain the same.

Thanks for the great Photo's Markscns looks great! Could you take some of the Scrambler and rides around there?

I thought the scrambler had to be removed for the hyper?

I actually had several photo's of all the rides that my wife took last summer, but we lost several to a hard drive crash. I will be posting more throughout the summer of hopefully every ride in the park as I visit. The photo gallery is linked off my blog. Right now I have a few photos of Shivering, Zachs, The Water Tower, Funnel of Fear and the park entrance sign.

You know what I hope they get in 07 a new website!

Well they haven't changed the logo on WoF's website either -- but they DID for the brochure. Have you checked out VF's for this year?

Now that i'm getting used to seeing there logo, it does look a lot better, to me it looks a lot more official. If MA website changed there colors from the old green and yellow to dark blue and orange it would look a lot better. Who ever runs the site please do this it would look much better!

The logo seems to represent the chain very well. I mean when I see the logo I would easily associate it with a day at one of the Cedar Fair Parks. That new logo, which like it or not will be dominating the cedar fair parks this year, is just another force in bringing out their brand. Sure the logo is plain, generic, boring, and bland.... but hows that different from a cedar fair park?

Too bad that the excitement from the paramount chain is going to be drained out forcing these theme parks to become amusement parks.

As for the lack of snoopy, I find it the only good move in the logo. Shows that this chain is finally starting to move out of the olden days when snoopy was a widely popular character. I know people love snoopy, but good grief its 2007!

I wish the best to these merging chains and hope that they each rub off on each other instead of the paramount parks just being cedar faired.

3 points go to IntaminHater for the "good grief" tie in.

They're still listing the 2006 brochures on-line. I've not seen the 2007 ones come out yet. I just requested a brochure on-line. We'll see what they send.
