Vote of the week: Which is your favorite theme park souvenir?

August 28, 2009, 12:01 PM · We've been talking about theme park souvenirs on the site this week. While put that question up for a vote a couple years ago, this time I threw it out to Theme Park Insider's Facebook fans and Twitter followers first.

They responded with more than a dozen favorites, which I've included as the options in this week's vote.

Thanks for reading Theme Park Insider (and for following us on Facebook and Twitter!). Have a great weekend!

I've been collecting them for years, and now I place them in frames (usually with internal mattes that allow 3 to 6 in one frame) and hang them on my office wall. I can just turn away from the computer and take a little theme park vacation whenever I need it.

Needless to say, the parks have gotten us good.....

I love them... as my over stuffed cabinet can attest! The best part is that they are a souvenir that repeatedly shows up in your day-to-day life - reminding you of past good times and adventures. Many of the souvenirs on the list (many of which I have) disappear into drawers or boxes and are rarely seen again.

I personally love them, just not enough to pay extra, unless I just see one that is a must have. I had to go with what I usually end up with, attraction T-shirts. Love wearing them around and thinking of the awesome rides.

I like pins - so many unique designs. Something for everyone.

The pendant started off shiny, but the shiny finish quickly wore off, and the "coin" quickly took on a nice aged color, looking a lot like an actual old coin.

So I love it because I can wear it anywhere - even to work - and it's just my little secret that I'm sporting a theme park souvenir!
