Signs at Knoebels

The big draw of amusement parks is sensory overload and I was in complete heaven with all of the signs and lettering littering the spaces of Knoebel’s Amusement park. I’ve gone there since I was a kid and it hasn’t changed much, thankfully. The park is family-oriented and still has many trees around for much needed shade unlike many other parks. Knoebel’s is a great place but even greater is it’s signs.

I failed to find any answers as to where the signs are made, or if they are hand painted. I noticed some of them use vinyl lettering but many more look as if they are hand painted which I just love! And a big bonus, almost all of them (if not all) are on wood! I also wonder who manages the aesthetic of the park? Who is able to continue this tradition of hand-lettering in this modern age? I hope to hear back from the park and when I do I will post my findings here in an update.

If you are unable to visit the park in person, do a search on Flickr for some eye candy. Unfortunately their website doesn’t exactly follow the look of the park, but you can still visit it as well.
