Nrthwnd Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 ^ Don't worry. You'll get there, eventually. ^^ Julie, I was going to post to you, that the second piece of film you had posted was of a scene from the orginal Fritz Lang silent film, Metropolis and that there was Futura being created and 'activiated,' heh heh.

GAcoaster Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I have so many souvenirs and collections of stuff from parks, I don't know where to start. I posted a bunch of my Great Adventure stuff on my Great Adventure History Site. Here are a couple of samples: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UberBeavis Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I've got a road wheel from Jaguar, several blocks of Ghostrider wood (one has a strip of track on it). I've got a giant guitar pick from the Grand Opening of Rock N Rollercoaster Starring Aerosmith (a whole wall of stuff from that ride) The only thing I've got from my current park is a custom made Revenge of the Mummy jacket that I won just before it's opening (I was on the first "official" train out at the party, but I'd ridden several times during the cycle time testing).

TheStig Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 While I dont own very many collectable pieces of theme park history, I did manage to get a few shots of some cool stuff at Coaster Con this past summer. They include AE blueprints, an 1992 park map with B:TR as a standard sitdown coaster (and also Rolling Thunder is still there), and this Lusse Auto Scooter bumber car history poster (^that same company that your badge is from). Look for those picture tomorrow though, as Im too tired to post them now... Colin C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noobitizer Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I've got a couple of those huge cups from early 90's Boardwalk, Knotts Barry Farm. It has that crazy lookin' head. And i've got all 5 sheets of those collectors pogs they gave out in '93 I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UberBeavis Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The blueprint looks like California Screamin' at DCA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I know some of you guys like to collect maps of parks. Here's the newest one of my park, Playland, here in Vancouver. Pretty 'basic rectangle,' huh? Yeah. Me, too. The whole thing needs a good ripping up, and buying the old stadium space that was/is next door, and turning the landscape into a really nice park-like setting for the flat rides, etc. Do't be fooled. The "green spaces" there are just coloring. They have trees in giant pots on the asphalt for themeing..... anyway. Oh, and the corkscrew used in the "Final Destination 3" movie? - There it is, in the back there. Enjoy. Here it is - light blue means kiddie rides. Whee.

AllenA07 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I have a disgarded land marker which "accidently" fell into my car during a photo trip a few years ago. I also have a full set of X blue prints somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I only have a couple things of note at my apartment. I have a feeling the gold one will be worth money someday. Lava Monster concept art. NOT an original, but cool still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Weston? To me, Wes usually = Wesley. Hmm. Never knew that. Or remembered it, I forget which, LOL! We do have a Weston Bakery that produces snack crackers and a very nice (grin) Stoned Wheat Thin..... Go figger, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 The really strange thing is that there's another Weston in my department. What are the odds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shockwave Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 One of my friends has a framed poster of Greezed Lightnin' at Astroworld just after it opened. Will try and find a picture of it. I imagine it's worth quite a lot now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 Thought I would dust this thread off, re-vamp the topic title (just a touch) and bring up a new and unique "souvenir" of the TPR Japan Tour'07 I would like to share with you. Photos to follow. But here's the set-up... The morning we left for Fuji-Q Highlands (sigh) we had a nice day of easy travel ahead of us, 'cause Elissa and Robb had made plans for a coach bus to take us Up to Dee Mountain, etc. etc. And the park. But more importantly... Eeejanika (or whatevah the &^$#@ it's called) a/k/a/ Japanese 'X' coaster Anyway - since there's less than the thirty of us tourers (several of the group had already done their own F-Q tour and didn't want to repeat.), we all get double seats on the coach to spread out, enjoy the scenery... and the hour+ or so of backed-up traffic, that extends our travel time to the park..."just a touch," heh heh. In my seat, I look at the net bag in front of me, where you put a magazine, bottles, etc. for easier acess... and there is this little bag with pretty blue printing/logos all over it. And, something inside of the bag. A small bottle/vial, half-full with a bluish liquid. The lettering on the bag says, in english, "Just for you!" And then underneath that opening line: "I hope you have a wonderful time on this special day..." Bag had a twist tie around it, easy to open. So, I did. Looked at it, took out the bottle, decided to sniff it not-too-closely..... and OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGS**t The most rank odorous sssssmell invaded my nose and immediately told me to tightly reclose the lid and don't open it again! That done, I then proceeded to "try it out" on a few on the coach as we returned back to the hotel for the night.... Same reaction as I had - OMFingG what-the (&%^#$ is that?#!?? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeease don't open that again, blah blah blah... And so, I naturally kept it with me, double wrapped it in bubble pack and made sure it wasn't on my carry on bags, lolol. And now it is in a safe place, safe from harming others, safe from smelling up the place (we still don't know how to describe it's uh... "aromatic fragrance?") and possibly safe from an impending disaster that could've been worse. Pix will show our "saftey and storage procedure" for such an unexplained substance, LOL! And that is my newest WTF Souvenir from a tour - especially a tour with TPR, heh heh Anybody else got some"thing" to share and have a good story to go with it? And finally, the containment unit is....closed. (Actually this thing is in our freezer, "until further notice" LOL.) Bigger shot of the containment unit for storing the said "unexplained item". The item in question, being prepped for advance and safe storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterFanatic Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I collect things and then usually give them to someone else, donate them to auction or just lose them What I keep: Park Maps (Easy to store) Steins (Only old ones. Usually find them in thrift shops. Catrina loves them ) Tickets, Fast Passes, other small bits of paper I used to have one of the horse collars to Steel Phantom, but donated it. I still have my Psyclone bolt though. Might make that one into a door-knocker one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 21, 2007 Author Share Posted September 21, 2007 do you even want to know what it is? Probably not. Having it remain 'mysterious' makes it all the more...um... collectible? Actually, I was thinking of having it analyzed somewhere, somehow. I just found out, the liquid freezes in the freezer! New things ya larn evey day at TPR, heh heh.

pagemaster_b Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Bill, I'm surprised you kept that damn bottle. Opening it once was bad enough, but you had to share it with everyone. Well, I should be thankful that it didn't smell like rotten eggs. That and skunk spray are the only things worse smelling than what's in your bottle. Maybe it smells better now that it's frozen. Then again, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
