Coolest memorabilia you have

I have a bolt and a piece of wood from the Puritas Springs Cyclone.

Aside from the normal junk like maps, books, videos, and those gaudy sport bottles, my most prized piece of amusement paraphernalia would be the early 20th century booklet of Coney Island postcards that my wife gave me for Christmas a couple years ago.

I have a big bolt from Raging Wolf Bobs. And to think, last year I could have had almost any piece of S:UE I wanted. That ride threw off pieces like it was its job.

I have some Zingo! memorabilia ;)

I have a few of CP's 100 anniversary coins and then I got a few sections of old Euclid Beach fence and a few tokens from EB.

The coolest things I have are

A staff shirt from Lakemont park (thanks Lakemont and the GOCC!)

The shirt from the 4th Blue Streak Challenge

Old black and white family photos from Swinney Park with the defunct coaster in the background

A bolt from Triers Park (possibly from their side friction coaster in 1902) and a few bricks and electrical parts from the dance hall.

The last two probably aren't cool to anyone else but me and the other people who live in this area. The bolt is my favorite, it's huge!

A really nice painting by Linda Barnicott of the Steel Phantom. First thing you see inside my front door, really cool stuff.

Probably adding her Thunderbolt/Pitt Fall/Phantom painting this Christmas ...

I am not MUCH of a collector, but I like things such as skeeball tickets, post cards, maps, and especially game tokens. I do have a "scrap book" of these things, as well as my name badges, some ticket stubs, old season passes, programs, etc. BUT my biggest thing is game tokens. Dunno why. lol.

I probably have about 5-6 coaster/park shirts, and don't go out of my way to get one unless I just HAVE to have it. ;-) I have various things.....drink cups, magnets, etc.......very modest. I guess the coolest thing is my 10th Anniversary Beast poster, or my Dragster 2004 wall calendar poster.

My parents have a ton of 1960's and 1970's Silver Dollar City and Disney World stuff, mostly glass and plates, etc. I know they have a few 80's PKI glasses.

We used to have a ton of maps but they are long gone. I have been collecting maps since about 1999 now.

As far as coaster "pieces" I am not into that, but a lot of people are which is cool.

I don't participate in auctions (probably would if I had the money to do so) but there were a FEW things that I remember seeing that just ALMOST made me max out my credit card.......one was an actual Beast sign. I think I saw this at No Coaster. I was DROOLING!

Hopefully not ON the sign, Tina ;)

I only have a Shockwave shirt from SFGAm. Still haven't worn it.

I have a large wall map of Disneyland in 1964 as well as a similatly large wall map of WDW (Magic Kingdom). The WDW one is undated but is pre-Splash Mountain and pre-Thunder Mountain so someone might be able to figure out a rough date by that. Both are a little worn on the original crease lines and starting to tear, but are otherwise in great condition.

I have a few of the originial coupons/tickets that you used at WDW for the rides. Yes, at one time when you paid admission to Disney, you got a book of coupons. You'd get a lot of "E" tickets, less "D" tickets all the way up to just a few "A" tickets. The "A" tickets were for the biggest and best rides and so on. Have to thank my dad for those and the maps.

I also have one of the Batwing t-shirts that they gave out at the media day for Batwing at SFA.

Wish I could say more, but nope...

I have a piece of Fabio's nose in my freezer. And a dead bird.

I have a bunch of crap we were about to throw away. I'm not really sure why, but I always save some stuff.

--Part of the whale from the old Noah's Ark

--A 2 foot section of Steel Phantom track

--Arrow Dynamics logos from old Steel Phantom trains.

--Lost Kennywood blueprints

--Dancehall coat check tickets

--Old ticket booth signs for the Calypso and others

--Old metal hand pointer arrows

--Man, I own a lot of useless crap.

LOL! LOL! Skitterbrau!

The only really cool things I've aquired are a Banshee pin and a Bat press kit.

2 banners from CP: MF & TTD...

they were selling them at the park for about $70 a piece...they have other ones now but they're cloth, so they're not as good as the ones I have hanging in my living room next to all the CP posters and ride pics...

I'm also a huge magnet collector.

Coaster Lover,

Not to be nitpicky but the A tickets were for the lesser attractions like the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and the E tickets were for your Space Mountains.

To this day, when a ride like Everest is being built the Imagineers hype it as the newest "E-Ticket". I have read that if you have full books of tickets (none were ripped out) they could fetch thousands of dollars at Disneyana conventions. That kills me because I remember as a kid throwing those things out like they were trash leaving Disneyland.

I have a manual restraint-release pin I picked up on the Gemini Midway at CP, right opposite the Gemini entrance.

You're...*attractive*. :)

I have a Twisted Sisters Tee Shirt and a 1976 Geauga Lake Wall Map

Nothing all that noteworthy, for I don't really collect souveiers.

Now I do have 1000+ Cds, 400+ DVD's, and over 300+ Trans Formers
