Yankee Clipper's glory days are BACK!!!!!! For the big 30!

BIG news! The classic (and more sensical) name Yankee Clipper has returned to the map and did away with the lame "Ice Mountain Splash" for sure! The only problem is that the logo for the entrance has been 'modernized' and the old entrance is still gone (V2 stands there now).

But I'm glad they put the old name back.

Cool, Anyone have any pics of the new logo/sign?

What do you mean by "modernized"?

I'm sorry I couldn't take pics of the new sign, but you should know that Ice Mountain is now off the contract. Dannon is now the water company which sponsors the park. I was working at a buyout today and I noticed they changed the sign. You can go to the park on opening day and find out for yourself.

This is great news, I glad to hear that the name ''Yankee Clipper'' is back. I much rather see the original name used rather than any corporate sponsered name. I hope this ride is open more this year, the last couple times I was at the park (which were on weekdays) it was closed.

Good news. I wish the old sign returned too but I guess that doesnt matter too much since the name is back.

Not so fast. What about to the old entrance?

The Yankee Clipper sign is more modernized and 'fit in' to the age of bubblegum pop. It would be nice if the old sign did return indeed, but I guess it wouldn't matter since half the theming in Yankee Harbor is gone anyway. At least New England Cafe sells catfish again. And they have a new sign, and yes, it is not like the original neon sign. It's rather ugly to me.

Here's the new sign:

I like the old one better.

I saw the new sign yesterday and I dont like it. This sign is just too plain and the colors dont look right. Even though I didnt like the name I think the Ice Mountain (Natural Spring Water) Splash sign looked better. The old entrance cant come back unless V2 is removed.

Well one of the reasons that the sign does not look right is because it is not finished. It was shown on the nbc preview that there will be a oval shaped nautical themed painting above the words yankee clipper in that empty spot.

Thanks for posting the photo, I look forward in seeing when it's finished.

Hey, as long as they brought back the original name, that's all that matters. The sign looks fine.
