Was at a rummage sale the other day and something caught my eye. I paid $1 for this. It is around 15 years old. Thought you all might like to take a look. By the way, I didnt resize so you could see the "wonderful" detail. Does anyone else have any items from the park from years past?

I have a few cool older items from the park. I have an old school Vortex t-shirt which some of you have seen, I have an ash tray from when the park frist opened, and I have a cool plate from the earlier years of the park.

I have a waterbottle I kept from2001. I won a Monkey at one of the games.

Shoot, I'd wear that sweatshirt!!!

I have photos from when my mom worked there in 72.

I found a pretty cool beer stein, well it's beer stein-like, it doesn't have the lid. Anyway, I got it on e-bay and gave it to my little brother for his birthday last year. It's from the KI days, though I'm not sure of when it would have been sold there. I'm sure it must've been an Oktoberfest item, and it appears to have been numbered on the bottom. A friend at work who collects steins says it was made by a recognized stein maker in Germany because he had his initials carved in the underside. It really doesn't have much that would distinguish it as something from Kings Island except for a metallic blue Kings Island logo on one side with mainly German origin paintings and carvings around the rest of it. It’s about 12 or 13 inches tall and the handle has a nice design to it also. I'll try to find a picture of it to post, or maybe grab it from my brother some day and get a pic, but he's all the way in Oklahoma with it right now. But that's my little something to add to the conversation.
