Yeah your right that is quite wierd. I got a Viper T from it's last FULL year of operation in 2000. I don't know if you'd call that sentimental, but...

My Millennium Force Hat is something I love just as much as my own life. I have worn it everyday, for the past 2 years. Sick but true. It means more to me than anything I have ever owned.

My most sentimental would be some Cedar Point employee stuff (operating manual for one of my babies, nametag, newsletters), and my husband has a gas pedal from on of the car rides he worked, and a set of keys that I've claimed as my own. :D As for purchasable stuff, it would have to be the ultra-cheesy Corkscrew glitter-globe (like snowglobe) that costs all of $2 including tax, but I remember them being in the giftshops forever. And hey, amusement parks are all about cheesy souvenirs!

My sentimental souvenir is very similar to dakevsta's one. Its part of the seat (train #2, row 4 and the 4th seat over as you board the train) Raptor. I ripped it off on my 10th connesuctive (sp) ride on it at MM.

I have a Viper snowglobe, a piece of its counterweight, and I even got one of those fake frogs they had in jars in the bait shop in the queue line. As far as other SFOG stuff, I have an early 1970s park brochure and a tin cup with picstures of the Log Flume, SF Railroad, the Carousel, and the Scream Machine on it.... got it from my parents.

Also have some old postcards I got on eBay.

Mine has to be a pair of Micky and Minnie dolls that had magnets in the arms and feet and were dressed up for the different sections of DCA. I gave them to my Best friend who I hardly see anymore (we moved) and everytime I vist her she has them up in her room.
