Charlie Gold Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Mine would have to be my Kings Island brochure from 1971 that I picked up at Coney Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudecoasterman Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 My favorite Kings Island souvenir is probably my Beast victims wanted t-shirt that I got earlier this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 The piece of Vortex sitting on my desk. Other than that, I have a bunch of old stuff from the 80s and 90s that I got off eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 ....I'm sorry did you say...a piece of Vortex? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunderbeast1968 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 I have a Son of Beast t shirt, logo with the loop. I love collecting coaster shirts from parks that I visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIDelirium Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Yup. Same as this guy: I also have a piece of The Vortex on my desk. No lie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondback FOF Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 ^^What kind of piece is it? How'd you get it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Let's see, I have a 1980's era pennant with the Tower, Bat, Screamin' Demon & original Beast logos on it (those great logos inspired me to become a graphic designer), a small amount of original press/construction photos of The Beast & Bat, and original press release announcing 'A Unique Thrill Ride' called The Bat sent out by Ruth Voss. Showing my age a bit, I suppose. Recent additions are my Firehawk first rider t-shirt (which shrunk 2 sizes the first time I washed it), Diamondback & SOB snow globes and a 1972 grand opening 'I was there' button. Almost forgot, I have a 1980's era jersey with The Beast logo and bengal stripes on the sleeves. The pennant is probably my favorite though. It reminds me of the way the park used to be when I was a young kid...such a magical place to spend the summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
standbyme Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 ...and a 1972 grand opening 'I was there' button. I've never seen one of those...how about posting a photo...or e-mailing me one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 No problem. I'll take a photo and post it when I get out of work later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have the complete press/media announcement kit for "The Bat." I also have one for most, if not all, the coasters up until Firehawk (They went viral with press kits when it opened.) But The Bat remains the rarest, IMO. I also own a Beast Operators manual from back when it operated with skid brakes. Shaggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKlockster Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Like PKIDelirium and ZosoBeast, my favorite memorabilia would have to be my two pieces of Vortex's track I have on my desk. Also the fond memories of working on the best ride in the park! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Just now got around to photographing some of my memorabilia I treasure. The first of which is something which I believe is very rare as I have not seen this anywhere else. These are my Face/Off playing cards from the Paramount days. I believe I bought these in 2002 when KI was celebrating their 30th Anniversary Season. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Only thing I have is a old hat when the park was called PKI. Ah those days. Not even sure how old the hat is. Maybe '03? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 PKI items were sold as late as 2008, with a few seen even after that. Cedar Fair took over June 30, 2006. The Paramount's wasn't dropped that year, and was also still in use for at least part of 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterOhio Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Why do I need that information? Besides, when we got our passes in 2010 we haven't visited Kings Island since maybe '03 or '04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Why do any of us need any of the info on this site? Terpy was just sharing fun facts. Be appreciative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBEASTunchained Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think my 2 favorite pieces of Kings Island mem. are my Son of Beast scale replica model, and my Very old 79' BEAST mug. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 ( ^I know how hard you work on that!) Back in 1979 my parents bought me a pin that say "I RODE IT!" with The Beast logo on it. The fun part about that is I was only 5 years old at the time. My dad stuffed napkins in my brothers shoes (what I thought was hilarious is that the napkins were from the laroses at KI) when he was four. He loved it, it took me another year to man up and do it, even though I was ten. Anyways, I thought this looked kind of close to what you described.

TTD-120-420 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I wanna see this scale model of SOB. Do you have pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ Kinda Guy Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I will never understand the fascination people get from random ride hardware. Nuts, bolts, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 I will never understand the fascination people get from random ride hardware. Nuts, bolts, etc. I never have either. I do admit, I've got a piece of lumber from the Legend at Holiday World, but as nuts and bolts, how do you really know if that came from the ride unless you were there when they came off?

AZ Kinda Guy Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 And I'd be willing to bet that all that junk people got from Vortex came from some off the old footers from The Bat. Which, in turn, means its hardware from The Bat, not Vortex. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
