Jasper Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 This is kind of irrelevant but last night i was at my Grandmothers house and i found 3 Lexmark Family Day buttons in a droor. One of them was the 1996 one with FOF on it, another one was the 1990 one with flight Commander on it, and the other one was just a regular 1998 button with a roller coaster onm it. Back to the map subject i do collect park maps i usually try to grab about 10 everytime i go. Last time i went it was the last weekend of operation and i was planning on taking a whole bunch seeing that they do not need them anymore but when i got to the front there were non ethere. I have the 30th Aniversary souvenir map and i also have about 60 other ones. I collet park maps from evrywhere i go i have about 30 from Cedar Point and most of my maps are hanging up on my wall.

PKIVortex Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I got new maps that I didn't use when from all the parks that I just visted in Orlando. So I guess I do collect park maps to a point. I like to keep maps from various parks that I visted. And at least one from KI every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOPGUN1993 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The CP Poster frams came from Walgreens (20in X 30in) for only $8.00 And yes that is a HP PhotoSmart 8250 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yeah I got the same Photosmart printer, it works wonders. I bought my frames from mediaplay, they were 10 buck a piece. Next time at walgreens I'll have to grab come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VortexBFForever Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I have KI brochures from 2009-now, some Cedar Point brochures from 2011-now, a 2012 Coney Island brochure, a 2011 Darien Lake brochure, 2 2012 Kings Dominion brochures, and a 2013 Dollywood park map. I also had KI brochures from 2007 and 2008, but they disappeared in 2009 and haven't been seen since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 During Coaster mania at Cedar Point, I brought it up to the lady in charge of marketing that Kings Island should sell the Giant poster size park maps that they sell at Cedar Point for $2.00. I told her I would pay $5- $10 Just for that. Anyone else collect park maps? Also has anyone noticed them in the gift shops yet? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Place the suggestion at KI's Guest Service....suggesting things for KI at another park won't necessarily make it any further than a smile and a thanks for you comment at those parks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Well this lady, I forget her name, but she handles merchandise for all of Cedar Fair. She was at the Q & A at Coaster mania. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought that $2 map and spent $75 having it mounted... Maybe it's good if other parks don't sell the maps... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txdrummer Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Not so much any more but as child I always had the current map for Six Flags Over Texas pinned to the wall in my room. I had the maps from previous years neatly put away but sadly no longer have them. Lost them during a move I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorarius Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 As an alternative to having the large park maps on my wall, I've also taken some of the in-park maps that come as a single unfolded sheet and have had them laminated for use as placemats... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 ^ Well see, I want to blow it up, but places I go make a big deal about copyright issues and refuse to let me go through with it. It's weird because Kings Island gives those away for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that merch was done by the individual parks, given that some parks' merch game is way, way, way better than others... I'd like to give some feedback on the subject to someone who actually might give a darn... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Meyer Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 So it's been a month and a half. Just wondering has anyone been in the gift shops and noticed the giant size park maps yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I actually discussed this with James Moreland (area head of merchandise and warehousing at KI) because I noticed an old map on the wall behind him during his recent video interview. (https://kingsisland.cfauthx.com/blog/2017/july/a-kings-island-life-james-moreland) He understands the desire of us super-fans to have one, but when they have printed the poster-sized maps in the past they just didn't sell well, so there are no plans to bring any in anytime soon. He did mention the possibility of selling some for the 50th celebration. However, he seemed a little more excited about the idea of printing a poster-sized version of the original 1972 map. No plans for those either, at the moment, but I think it might make more financial sense for the park to try those to test interest, since they could continue to sell the stock for multiple years (unlike a current map which will change every couple years or less and be outdated). So the door isn't completely closed on the idea, but don't look too hard to see any in the shops this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
