This sign was created as a marquee for our new Rollercoaster for the 2001 season. The logo was created at our corporate office. I designed the sign in scale in Corel 9. The job was sub-contracted out in sections. First we sent our drawings to an engineer for foundation and structural calculations. We had an on-site contractor dig and pour the foundation. A local fabrication shop made the frame. We were going to construct the dimensional logo part in-house using signfoam, but after adding up material costs for the signfoam we used Symmetry Products out of Rhode Island. Symmetry made the sign out of a polystyrene core with an acrythane coating applied to the exterior, then finished with urethane paints. The foam sign was delivered to a local Sign Shop to add the neon and install on the existing frame.
We produce about 85% of the signs in our park in-house, but we love working with other sign folks On projects like this!
