Favorite Cedar Point Knick-Knack

My favorite Cedar Point knick-knack would be this penny in a little jar. It did have a little piece of cork in it but I lost it. What is your favorite Cedar Point knick-knack. Something that you would never put up for auction on e-bay. I myself would never sell my Cedar Point stuff on e-bay. It's like selling memories.

I love my Mantis keychain. I don't know why, but I do! I also equally like my collection of pressed pennies.

Mine is the on ride photo from Magnum. It was the pic of my very first ride on it.

Probaly my Banshee T-Shirt and my wall maps.

My pressed pennies of Cedar Point and Raptor.

The Magnum shot glasses that I got for free at the hiring party today are pretty cool! The
t-shirts, posters, mugs, playing cards, etc were also nice and free!

I like my Raptor Medallion from Media Day in 1994. I also like my 3 Cedar Point 100th anniversary coins, my little brass figure of the Cedar Point & Lake Erie Railroad engine "Albert", my Banshee button, and my 3 Cedar Point plates, and a Cedar Point ribbon dated 1897.

Mantis How Much Can You Stand?

Can my entire room count as a knick-knack? There is no way I can name one or two things. I couldn't give up my room. Jeff, and Brandon are the only memebers of CP Place who have had the chance to see it. I should open it up for tours. I also have a lot of personal things that you can't buy in the park like my Magnum tally counter or my season passes (I lost my '99 pass dammit) and I have about half a dozen pictures of me in the park I consider priceless.

My model Power Tower and my profile pics of Blue Streak. My future brother in law used to work Blue Streak a few years back and let me get some great pictures from places many employees can't even go. Those pictures have more sentimental value then they are probably worth. However I am guessing becouse only ride mechanics and carpenters are alowed in some of those places they are a rare item.

My favorite knick-knack is probably a glow in the dark key chain that in the shape of a key. It also has a picture of the park on it.


P.S. Hey bodyinthelagoon, did you make the model of Power Tower? If so, e-mail me what you made it out of, and how you made it.

Speaking of the penny in a bottle:

My daughter (now 10) lost her first tooth at CP. We bought her the penny in a bottle and put it under her pillow with five bucks.

Her older sister accidentally broke the bottle, and it was thrown away, but Lexi still refers to the time at CP when she got the penny in a bottle when she lost her first tooth.

Not that I'd include T-shirts as a knick-knack necessarily, but my favorite CP item is my MF T-shirt, graciously picked up for me by a traingirl who shall remain nameless...

My most pricless momentos are my over 1000 personal photograhy collection taken throughout the yrs in over 25 photo albums..there priceless to me..A lifetime of memories

My favorite nick knacks are my two zippo lighters with the mantis logo on one as well as my raptor logo one. My raptor photo that my favorite pr person signed for me and my magnum pop up flyer I stole from college.

My favorite nick-nack is Raptor picture. It had myself and my sister in it. That was her first ride at Cedar Point and first "big" ride. It is highly amusing!

My favorite would have to be my extensive collection of CP coffee mugs. I have at least 1 mug from every year since Demon Drop opened. Each mug depicts the new ride for that year (as well as some 'general' CP mugs) My favorite being the one with the park map (only with the major rides) enscripted around it.

That, and my entire collection of CP pics (2 albums worth) and slides from the 60's and 70's

...and to reiterate Magnum 89, I would NEVER think of selling any of my CP stuff over e-bay, or anywhere else!!!

Souvenir maps...I have most of them from 1989 to present day. I wish I kept all the ones from the 80's and 70's.
