Shaggy Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 A keen eye will find lots of old Ki items scattered throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Why? KI held annual "Yard Sales" for years. They would clear out many items that had been sitting in storage without use. This is how Jungle Jim obtained many pieces in the early days. There are homes with Smurfs, signage, ride cars etc etc etc. Quote
teenageninja Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 Now they just throw everything into storage. What a change. Quote
standbyme Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 ^But on the plus side this year's Haunt did not look like a "spooky" rummage sale...I have to give them props for that! P.S. One of the tram's cars was up for sale on eBay a few months back...it didn't sell. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 And who was selling it? You`d be surprised how many things parks keep in bone yards. Some of us have been able to go through some "storage" areas for amusement parks. It simply is amazing the amount of stuff that parks hold onto. Yes, Jungle Jim`s is quite the repository for old KI artifacts. I wonder if the new Jungle JIm`s location slated to open around early summer next year will feature anything besides one of the former monorail trains towering over the parking lot... Quote
standbyme Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 And who was selling it? Just some random person...they were hyping it that it would be good for things like hay rides or something to that effect. I think starting bid was around $500.00. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 My highschool has one, well someone that works there at least. We use it for Homecoming Parades for Homecoming Court....interestingly enough. Quote
Guest TombraiderTy Posted October 18, 2011 Posted October 18, 2011 I'll have to try and look for any photos I may have saved of these, but various other things have popped-up on eBay before. From memory... Set piece from Gulliver's Rub-a-Dub Set piece from Smurf's Enchanted Voyage Bat head from The Bat sign/car Ride vehicle from Winnie Witch's Spinning Cauldrons Quote
standbyme Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 ^Not buying The Bat head still haunts me! Quote
