[USO92]

So I searched for quite some time trying to find a thread about this but couldn't find any. Redirect me if needed….

I am in the process of starting a Universal Studios collection! I'm starting with maps from every year from opening til now. SO far Ive found a few on eBay but I was wondering if anyone used any other sites?

I collect maps from everything too, but mainly only times that I go. There is probably a good chance I have some extras (USF, IOA, HHN, Mardi Gras 1999-now) I could hook you up with instead of buying them off of ebay.

Theme Park Connection sells ephemera at (somewhat) reasonable prices.

Is there a spot here that has maps from the different years and special events? I was thinking that while I am going through my extras for USO92 I could try to scan a bunch in and post them somewhere.

Would anyone be interested in that?

I personally love that sort of thing and I know I'm not the only one.

Would love a section to go back and look at all that history!

Went to their store today...interesting place with lots of neat Disney stuff.

Nothing Universal, Sea World, or any other theme park related.

It is mostly Disney, but I purchased universal park maps from there recently.

Since this thread is now a thing I found a good spot for these pictures of some new (at least to me) Simpsons merchandise.

I know Ebay is a different animal, but compared to their online store I found the actual location to be a bit ridiculous.

So, I remembered that I have this in my collection - an original poster map of Universal Studios Florida from 1990. Notice the label on Back to the Future says "Opening in 1991." Sorry for the large images, but I wanted everyone to be able to see the details.

Wow awesome stuff!

Their first location was better. Once they moved to actual Orlando, the prices changed by a lot. I remember seeing the same framed photo of Japan pavilion go from $24 at the first location to $75 at the second. It is also very random in regards to prices. I have found good deals and have seen CRAZY prices for others.

Interesting to note that there's always been a "Portofino" at the parks, long before the hotel came about.

Here's my small collection of maps, pins, shirts and miscellaneous other things.
