Theme Park Collections

[TSSD]

I'm glad this thread came up.
I seem to remember IOA selling a miniature statue of the park icon lighthouse. Am I just imagining that? I have never seen it on ebay but I swear I can remember them selling one.

That would be really cool!

They did indeed in opening year(s) It was a bit off from how the actual one looks and looked a bit more like the Alexandria Lighthouse which the park icon is loosely based on in some design aspects. Within it came a IOA logo T-shirt from what I recall.

The University of Central Florida archives (located on the top floor of the library) has the original blue prints for Rip-Saw Falls and I think Popeye. The artist died and so it went to UCF's collection. It was very cool to see but not quite as cool as the Gutenberg Press bible from the fifteenth century which is also in their collection.

Wow, a 15th century Gutenberg bible is lucky enough to be sitting in the same building as IOA Original Blue Prints? I dunno, I think the blue prints should have their own building and shrine.

I'd say they're at least worth $100 each - that's a complete ball park. It'd do pretty well on eBay, I imagine.
