Amusement Park/ Rollercoaster Flags

Group,

With 'rollerocaster' season quickly coming, an interesting thought occured to me. I, like many in my neighborhood, fly decorative flags at times to celebrate holidays, or just to add color and motion.

I am curious if anybody has any leads on rollercoaster, carnival, or amusement park related decorative flags. I tried a websearch, which came up empty handed which does not surprise me for such a niche market product.

(To head off the comment I see coming, yes I do have multiple flagpoles...)

Maybe you can talk to CP about getting your hands on their little flag type things found throughout the main midway.

I don't care what anyone says, Magnum is better then Millenium Force.

I know Holiday World usually puts a flag or two up for auction at SRM from Raven or Legend.

It is my personal belief that Lesourdsville Lake is closed for 2003. I'll let you know if anything is announced.

Maybe you could get The Racer anniversary flags from Kennywood with the two sperm-like creatures. That'll get the neighbors talking:)

If you have a problem with clones, the solution is real simple—Stop traveling.

Cp won't let them go.. Trust me.. although some people have managed to find some here and there.

Dave: What you need is a friend who is into QUILTING to make a flag for you!

Hmmm...I can just see the new workshop offered as a coaster event for making banners and flags.....

Eh, maybe not. :)

Well, you could fly the flags of France (the old fleur'de'lis), Spain, Mexico, Texas, the Confederacy, and the U.S. Those were the original "Six Flags!!" ;)

Believe it or not, I've actually got quite a collection of these things now.

The best place IMO to go find them is at Antique stores. In Ohio it's pretty easy to find old and some new coaster related things (due to all the MANY parks Ohio had at one point.) I have found many different flags of shapes and sizes doing that...not to mention some other cool things.

Another way I have gathered things is find someone inside the park you know, and on closing weekends most parks get rid of a TON of things. I have gathered some neat stuff from some PA and Ohio parks going on their last days or during the last week days (when their closed and cleaning up).

Like Dave said...sometimes it just might be easier to make one though :) Good luck!
