TOPGUN1993 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Almost all the Scooby bucks were printed in 1989 I won't be surprised at all if you can't buy them next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Although theoretically the Scooby Bucks were designed to circulate, the park knew full well that many, many would be kept as souvenirs and never spent, thus being virtually pure profit. And so it was, though I doubt they ever sold in the numbers the park first had hoped. Dollywood used to highly promote and sell Dolly dollars, but got in a lot of trouble in the early days by loading its ATMs with them, but not notifying the public that the ATMs dispensed only Dolly dollars that could only be spent in the park. That very quickly ended. And nowadays, Dolly Dollars don't seem to be promoted as much as they once were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyhole_Scooby Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I have yet to see a dora dollar. Scooby bucks however are a common occurence. Also wouldn't it be cool to have a gallery that shows some of the better souveigners such as the different scooby bucks, vintage shirts, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh4958 Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 Yes, that would be cool with pics, and a time line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I saw some Scooby bucks in a cashier's drawer yesterday. I didn't know they were still in use until I saw that. I know they still had Scooby bucks (hadn't gone to Dora bucks yet) when I worked in merch in 02 and 03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh4958 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 OK ,can we flip the coin and ask when did the Scooby-Doo buck firts show up at KI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I don`t know when the Scooby Bucks first showed up. Needless to say, they were around long before I was into Kings Island, considering in 1989 I was only four. But they are virtually the only traces of the original Kings Island logo from its first season that can still be found. (This logo was actually the second used by KI as there was an earlier version that appeared in promotional material advertising Kings Island prior to its opening.) For years, the floral calendar next to the Eiffel Tower used to have the original Kings Island logo in it. But that disappeared several years back.

Beast79 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 With all the years I have been to ki I have never used them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I know at Kings Dominion they actually have a purpose to buy. You get a deal such as 6 scooby bucks for $5.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 An interesting note about the floral calendar. This year, they no longer have the year demarcated in it. Just the month and the day. I wish they still had the year in it, as it was a great photo op (it still is) that could spell out the year directly in the photograph.

KingCobra Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 On Sunday, I found a Scooby Buck in a Beast train, so some people still have them around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Dollywood has a similar system in their, "Dolly Dollars". You can only use them in the park and they are just what they say, worth one dollar. They actually gave us some back in change when we bought our tickets.
