I enjoy collecting and wearing baseball caps which have become my souvenir item of choice when browsing gift shops. But I am very particular with the style and material of caps that I buy. I like the soft cloth caps with a curved bill (no mesh backs) and because most caps are adjustable one-size-fits-all, I stay away from vel-cro and whatever you call the fasteners with adjustable plastic pins and holes. I stick to the hats with a metal clasp on the back and/or the slot with a single strip of adjustable cloth that you can tuck into that slot or metal clasp.
I've found very few Cedar Point souvenir caps around the park that "fit my criteria" LOL. But I've seen a few designs that I really like in a couple of the park gift shops - each devoted to a particular coaster in the park. They have the coaster name stitched across the front, "Cedar Point" and the year that the ride opened in larger block embroidered numbers. The back of each cap has stitching text: Coaster Nation"
I bought a few of them this year, but I think I've only come across these caps for four coasters. (FYI, I haven't made it my life's mission to check every single corner of every single gift shop in the park). I am interested in growing my collection and just wondered if anyone else knows if any other caps of this style exist.
Each cap is offered in the primary color of that coaster's track or structure. So I have seen a red Maverick cap, orange Magnum, yellow Top Thrill, and light blue Gate Keeper. Have I missed Raptor or MF or any of the other staples? If so, do you know which gift shop sells any of the other caps?
Proud to have fathered a second generation coaster enthusiast destined to keep me young at heart and riding coasters with a willing partner into my golden years!
