Finally got a few minutes to so some more of this. Nothing spectacular. But, I would think as a business, any loss of a customer and money is a loss nonetheless. Some pricey, some not. It all adds up. Even the better if made in Irleand!

A few more small and recent items. It all adds up, though.
Still selective in buying item from Ireland and not Pakistan (I'm lookin' at you "Ireland" scarves). I really like the license plates. We got four boxes of shamrocks. Those jokers were hard to get started and then keep going well. The ornaments were a no-brainer from the 75% store.
BTW, we did buy one of the "Ireland" scarves at a Highland Games for a CONSIDERABLY lower price. Not unique to BGW nor Irish, so why buy it at an inflated price in the park?

This is kind of a random question but does anyone know if the park still sells those t-shirts that had Busch Gardens written on them, and the letters were all of the different countries' flags? It occurred to me the other day that I don't own anything from Busch Gardens, and I really should... Anyway, I want to get something Saturday. I like those shirts but I haven't been looking for them so if the park still sells them, where are they? I believe they sold them in red and possibly white?

The nice Emerald Isle lady said the last were on display. One reason we bought four. Unless something from missed stock ends up in the 75% store?
I had one of those Irish clover kits. I actually grew quite the amount of clovers. The upkeep was too much though and they died :/
I did see some of those t-shirts with the Busch Gardens made of the European flags last year I believe. My only suggestion is find them quick before they go missing. Marketing has been trying to slowly pull anything out of the park with the old logo, bit by bit. Maybe you will find it in the 'discount store'.

They had them last year as I bought the red shirt. If they are not located in the Emporium, Griffon Gifts, or Der Marketplatz this year, they may be in the discount stores located in Rhinefeld and Alpen Gifts. Chances are - they still have some. If they are discontinued, what would be left would be smalls and XXLs maybe some mediums. Large and XL sell out first. If it is Loch Ness tees- oddly smalls sell out because many kids it is their first coaster and they buy the smallest adult size shirt since they do not have kids sizes for LN or most rides.
Thanks, I'll be sure to look this Saturday! Do you happen to remember how much it was?Nora said:
Around or just over $20. My guess -19.95 or 22.95.. usual prices for shirts at the park.
Nothing rare here. Just adding to the tally.
I like the blue one with BBW. It has a lot of park icons on it. The Scotland was a 75% store purchase last year. The Ireland "Lucky" shirt has been worn to the point of fading. The pretzel was not bought by me. But, I thought I'd throw it in. The purple zip up is still being used. The kiddy tank has been too small for Kitty several years over. The Limited Edition is possibly the most "modern" looking we've bought because Abby Stone just liked the style and color a lot. I think there are two of some of the CT shirts or sweaters. We did get CT jackets for three of us which are in another post.

No, it's Abby's (but it matches my undergarments ;-P) The blue was 2008 just before the sale and removal of BBW. They came in red, blue, yellow & black. It's cool how they got so many attractions in there. It was to be our farewell souvenir for the park after hearing about the sale.
They had them in Tweedside the begining of the year but moved them to the 75% off store by year's end. They were odd sizes, either S or XL, with no M or L. If any are left it could be possible.
I :heart: the 5th shirt!
Thanks for sharing as always BGW Family!

^Whatever that image is going to be it needs to have a chickenking hanging off the train somewhere. 
A few more smalls. The more we look the more bears we find. These were all in a grab bag from that little store in LOD. This is the last piece. Sorry they aren't together (with the cards, globe, thimble and magnet) since we find a new addition every time we look around.
The key rings are all this year from the 75% store. We had to have these for Corkscrew and BBW. We bought two each.
The Apollo key ring cards from back in the day came with something else that I can't recall. They are small if you reference the key ring. Beats me what they have to do with the ride other than logo.
The purse was on sale and great sized to carry stuff in the park (reference the phone pocket - just right for a caveman phone ^_^ ).
EDIT: Sorry. Missed the other Apollo thingy that came with the cards.
