Your topic would be 10x better if you'd included what you thought was the best entrance sign before putting the question out to everyone else! It'll give your topic some substance and help people gain interest in the topic :]

One that sticks out in my mind is Goliath at SFMM. The 'rock' carving with the drop in the background is very iconic!

^ I like it. Baco's theme in general is pretty good, with the preshow and the vines outside of the masia.

Not a coaster, but Journey to the center of the earth sign is brilliant:

For me good entrance signs should always have photogenic coaster section behind them.

@Projektion: Yeah it looks more like a Moray Eel.

@Gerst: Not sure if you were being sarcastic when you called that sign artistic...

He's not kidding.

El Toro and Maverick's signage are nothing special. Rockin' Roller Coaster is really neat, and I honestly always like "Son of Beast's" empty box sign a ton.

From what I've ridden, Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando probably has the best coaster entrance. That entrance and the entire area really sets the mood for the ride.

I know this ride actually speeds up in the upward helices before getting out of a volcano! Unique way to accelerate! 8-)

Since the rollback seems to have deleted my post, I'll just rewrite it;

I think the Golden Kingdom is the best Six Flags themed area ever built.
Image
It seems like they actually tried hard to theme Kingda Ka and they did an excellent job.

Image
Same goes for Zumanjaro. The sign is pretty cool and the African influence is visible.

I don't think I have to explain this one ;)
It's been a long time
