FParker, you'd go on an overseas vacation if you were to pawn that nametag...but I know you'd never do it, i'm kidding. hahaha That's how valuable the park was THEN--theming was genuine THEMING, food was real, not processed, and the rides resembled the spirit of early America. Today the park resembles the spirit of the Kiss-FM corporate culture.
R.I.P. Splashwater Falls and Space Shuttle America. Deja Vu, enjoy Idaho.
Hear ye, hear ye: "After 45 years, Six Flags has stopped smoking."
Don't think I could do a European vacation on $20-30, which is about what it's worth, though I paid a little more than that, came from the J.W. Marriott estate sale. Steven Wilson has the only other one that I've ever seen or heard of.

I have a demon hat that I got off of Ebay thought I had something special. I got to the park and a store there had a million of them. Oh well. Anywho, I went to the restroom over in Yukon at FF last year and came out my wife says " ihave something for you". I open the bag and it was a SFGRAm Coaster team hoodie! I was sooo excited. I love the coaster team stuff. I also have a black hat that has the SFGRAm logo in white. I'm always looking for the coaster team stuff though.
Candy: What you lookin' at? Otis B. Driftwood: I'm lookin' at you, mama. Candy: Yeah, you see something you like? Otis B. Driftwood: Maybe. I set my standards pretty low, so I'm never disappointed.
I had a great 80s Demon shirt. It was tan (that was big in the 80s!) with brown and orange stripes; and a picture of the first hill/drop and 2 loops. It's loooooong gone, but I think I have a picture of me wearing it if I can find it. Never saw that anywhere else.
Also had original Demon and Tidal Wave patches - again, long gone. They have come out with a new Demon patch - but the quality is dirt cheap. The old one had every color properly stitched on it, it was great. The new one looks more like an iron on or something... but kudos to the park for coming back out with some Demon and Whizzer merchandise.
I went through my drawers a few weeks ago and found some old FF maps that I had. One was from 08 and the others I think were from 2010. I also have a Raging Bull glass that I got 2 years ago for 1.99 at the end of the season in the shop that exits Viper.
