I wish my collection was as awesome looking as this. I have real soft spot on my heart for HB. aside from enjoying the shows as a kid .....the big local amusement park was owned by them and was HB themed.

Thanks, Bannedinc.

Was the park you're referring to KIng's Island (later to be known as KIng's Dominion)? I believe it is still open.

indeed. It was bought by paramount motion pictures in the early 90s and every aspect of HB was wiped away aside from the scooby doo rollercoaster. I think there were a couple of "kings.." parks in the country. this one was close to between richmond VA and wash dc and was wayyy awesome.

Thanks for the info; I did not know Paramount de-HB'ed it- that sucks.
My brother lived closed enough to go to it from time to time in the 90's and got me some cool Hb swag; magnets, pewter figures, etc.
