    The actual quote was by sections, not piece by piece. If you're going to quote someone, let's try and get it right.

    We will make some parts of the ride available to purchase (track, wood from the structure, bolts). Each of the items will be limited in quantity. We will let everyone know when they become available

    Park officials were on the last train.

I have purchased some expensive things on EBay.

For instance, I recently bought the 1981 Hallmark Rocking Horse Christmas Ornament. My parents thought I was crazy. My wife & I wanted to complete the set.

I have also purchased Wrestlemania tickets on EBay as well as a beta tape of Beast's first run in 1979 (that can now be seen on YouTube)

But, $125 for a polo shirt just because it has an emblem for a failed coaster is certifiable.

I'm under the impression that some are infering that the polo is being sold by the park itself. I do not think that is the case.

Just thought I'd avoid some peoples confusion.

^I hope I didn't confuse anyone with my post...what I meant by my post was "If you think the park is overcharging for their SOB stuff,* look at this guy's auction!" :D

*I don't.

There is thousand of feet of wood, lots of bolts and plenty of rails to sale if the demand is there. If the demand is there, they can always make more plaques to attach to the items for sale.

That is goal. The 'limited' supply is to increase purchases. The more demand for the product the more of the ride will become available.

^ I don't think that is the case.

In the pics of the plaques, there is a: "x" of "x" value.

For KI to sell more than the initial amount offered would be, at best, unethical.

I'm not talking about the plaques I'm talking about the bolts and wood from the ride I should've been more specific sorry about that. They have over 300 miles of board AND a plethora of bolts as well to choose from.

I agree they couldn't fabricate the plaques because they are numbered. :)

They could make it like a Pumpkin Patch...just let people go out and pick the piece of wood or bolt that they like the best. :D

I can't stop laughing at both of these posts! Instant classics! :lol:

What would be really cool icing-on-the-cake is if they could tell us which part of the ride our respective keepsakes came from. (Or is that being too greedy? :rolleyes::P )

I actually have one of those SOB polo shirts as I worked for the park in 2000.

I was thinking the same thing! I would of liked to known what part of the ride the track/wood came from.

But Im not arguing, Im just pleased the park did this for the coasters fans!

Couldn't agree more with this statement. While I think it'd be interesting to know (or at least the general area, such as drop, rosebowl, old loop), I won't complain. I'm happy enough knowing that sometime soon, a piece of Sonny will be hanging above my computer. (Speaking of which, I cannot wait to find out when this will ship. I hope real soon!)

^ Be sure to secure it to the wall well.

If it would happen to fall & break your computer or hit you in the head requiring a hospital visit, the "define irony" jokes would be endless.

;)

^Did you pay $125 for it?

Nope mine was free, as it was giving to employees of the park in 2000.

The hill between rosebowl and first drop is almost completely gone. That's all I saw.

All that's been left of that hill were peices sitting on the ground, and earlier today when I went a bunch of track was missing from the rosebowl but most of the supports are still up. I'm guessing those are ones that they're selling, because the other torn down sections looked to have just been pushed over with track and all.

If I get a piece of wood, it would be the best, if I got the Boomerang Bay sign, I would be blessed. BB1 making poetry one post at a time! Anyways back to the topic, I wonder if remains of SOB will stay with the haunt, like our very great and loved (by some) Boomerang Bay items, they will probably be easter eggs to a past, that many got back aches from, but a few found a happiness only a Son of The Beast can do.

my mother has been bugging me about what I want for Christmas. I told her an SOB track section. She thought I was crazy but ordered it anyway :)

I saw that "SoB Easter Egg" at the park that BB1 speaks of. I flipped out after I saw that. Nice find, BB1!
