Merchandise Of KI Rides You Would Like To See More Of!

[kingsislandfan1972]

I'm just curious if there was some kinds of Merchandise from KI Rides (past or present) that you would like to see more of. For example I would love to get a t-shirt with the Sol Spin logo or even a hat with The Bat logo (past or present). I would even like to see more Phantom Theater merchandise perhaps little toy figures of the Maestro and other Phantom Theater characters. Does anybody have any thoughts on this?

Flight of Fear.   Hopefully next year for its 30th anniversary.

You never see much merch for the K.I. and M.V. railroad. Not even stickers. It deserves more respect.

They are seriously sleeping on Bat merch. The colors and logo are fun and I wish there were more options available.

I known it's not everyone's favorite ride, but there's only one shirt for Adventure Express that I know of. Bat, Express, FoF, Stunt Coaster, and Invertigo all don't have very many things. Yes, they aren't the most popular rides compared to rides like Diamondback or Mystic, but I feel like they could use some more merch.

KI has lacked in the merch department for years. They capitalize on the top like 4/5 coasters and forget they have the rest. They also over saturate with what merch they have in the various shops.....why should I go into KI Essentials when I can get the same merch at the Emporium? As shown by @chad_1138, the newest merch made it's way into4I Trading Company. But you can also find it at almost every location in the park. 

It seems if about 95% of the 4/5 coaster merch is repeat from pervious years...a little extra design maybe inserted here and there...but you can find it at Coaster Connection, KI Essentials, Emporium, etc. 

Don't even talk about the price....I don't like the merch/designs enough to drop $30+ on a shirt....$65+ on a hoodie. 

I know I've said it before but Cedar Point at least has diversified merch and a small amount of repeat throughout the shops. Their ride specific merch is top tier.....KI really needs to learn a thing or two from CP merch. The designs/merch there makes the cost worth it IMO.

Agreed! There are countless merch places to get stuff for almost every ride there. Plus, it's not all the same stuff in every store. I remember going to CP one time and thought, "I can just get this at the front" only to realize that it wasn't at the front like at KI, but located by Steel Vengeance

I need some Phantom Theater maquettes!

I agree! If they do eventually do sell them, I would definitely buy one! However I can only imagine how much KI would sell them for!

A cutout or a mini model of TR:TR. I'd buy it................. (Even if it was only the top spin itself)

Not that I am biased, but Bat does deserve more merch. I’m happy it got socks, a mug, a poster, and a pin for its 30th in 2023, but I would gladly buy other Bat merch such as shirts (and yes, I’ve already bought the Homage shirt that features the original Bat!).

And of course, Vortex merch will always catch my eye.

I don't know the logistics of it, but I think it would be nice for Kings Island to commission/offer Nanocoasters for all of their current coasters. Some of them might not be super popular. It would still be cool to see. 

Bonus points if they make a model of the park to display them in (once they get their merch stores separated and finally holding unique merch).
