The giant “K,” formerly seen atop the Buena Park theme park’s Sky Tower, will soon be on view at the Museum of Neon Art.
The museum announced on Oct. 13 that it acquired the colossal K, and that it is"the tallest neon sign to enter MONA's collection to date."An official unveiling date is still to come, as are details about how and where the museum will display this vintage slice of Orange County neon nostalgia.
"My earliest memories of neon signs can be traced to the shops and attractions of Knott's Roaring 20's-themed landscape," shared Eric Lynxwiler, neon and Knott's Berry Farm historian. "I only recognized in my adulthood that my interest in neon and the history of Knott's Berry Farm combined in that one glowing era of my youth when a trip to Knott's Berry Farm not only meant great food and roller coasters, but also magnificent neon signs."
"I can name almost every neon sign in the colorful Roaring 20's, but today we only have this one enormous survivor, the neon K from atop the Sky Tower. Massive cannot describe it! And I'm overjoyed that the Museum of Neon Art can be a caretaker for this icon of Buena Park and Southern California's beloved theme park."
