2008 Souvenir Map - Printed Yet?

I was unable to find any 2008 Souvenir Maps in the gift shops while making my yearly park visit back in June. Only one employee at the Pagoda even knew what I was talking about when I asked for the map. She said that they haven't been printed yet, but I don't know if that is true. I found one shop near the Demon Drop that was selling the old 2007 map for $1.00.

This is the first time in the last 25 years that I haven't been able to buy the map and I was wondering if anyone has seen them in the gift shops within the last couple of weeks. It's pretty cool looking at the old maps to see how the park has changed over the years and it would be shame if they decided to quit selling them.

I saw some in the gift shop near dragster. That is the only place that i have seen them though.

I saw them at the Snoopy Boutique about a week ago.

I unknowingly bough a 2007 map earlier this year. I already had 2 from 2007.

Does anyone know then they started printing souviner maps? The oldest one I have is from 1969.

I have yet to see any 2008 maps. As of two weeks ago, they were still selling the 2007 edition. I'm guessing they may not produce a new one for this year, as a cost cutting measure.

I'm not sure how its a cost cutting measure. There's about %1,000 profit on them.

Of course, they still have last years map to sell off, but the fact that there are still that many left shows that someone doesn't know how to properly order, and ordered WAY too many last year.

they already have them printed and are selling them

We bought a map, but didn't even think about which year it was from. Ours has an ad for Maverick "new for 2007" on the back side of one fold. Does that make it a 2007? What would be the difference between 2007 and 2008? Are there any changes/new rides?

The addition to the park for 2008 is Planet Snoopy. If it is on your map, it is a 2008.

I was unable to find one either, and I sent a e-mail to Cedar Point asking about them. They sent me one that was distributed at the entrance. I sent a more detailed question and was told it was being forwarded to the correct department. I am still waiting for a responce.

Jugga, considering those maps sell for 94 cents (or in that neighborhood), you're suggesting that it costs them less than one tenth of a cent to print each one of those? Full color, glossy, poster dimensions?

The park is always trying to get rid of those things. At the employee merchandise sale in August of '04 they just had a box that said "Take One"... and there were thousands of those things...

When I bought a CP polo last year, I got a map stuck in the box with the polo.

I forgot to pick up an 08' map as well, hopefully they'll have some when I return next month.

They have them now. I saw someone with a souvenir map with a Planet Snoopy back fold either yesterday or the day before.

This seems to be the norm every year. They don't have the maps for the first few weeks (in this year's case, a month or more) of the season.

They will always sell the souvenir maps. The most expensive part of making them is having the artwork updated to include the most recent additions to the park, and they already have to do that for the guides that are given out at the front gate. Why not sell the maps and help cover the cost of printing millions of guides?

I called CP today and the lady who answered the phone said they don't have them yet. :( But she also noted that they will be available online as well when they are available. :)

I thought we already established that people have seen them in the park? See below:

^ Oh, well the lady on the phone clearly didn't know that, which is kind of sad.
