Yes. Shorten the off season please!

Looks like your wish came true, by 8 days.

When you consider driving from 2 hours away just to see the park standing there, inactive, in all it's beauty

When you would drive from 4 hours away just to do exactly the same thing. I'd be more likely to do this with CP instead since it's only an hour and a half, but still...

Coaster enthusiasts are crazy. In a good way.

And welcome to KIC!

When you've already planned 7 clothing options for opening day, two of which include a shirt you don't own.

When you have an index card (taped to the wall) showing how many days of the offseason are left.

Today, there are 88 more days until Opening Day (and 87 until Media Day!).

You search for this thread to read it to occupy time

I suddenly have the urge to put 86 tallies on my white board and erase one every day.

I started a countdown on my calendar a few days ago! As of right now, only 87 more days until Firehawk, Banshee, Adventure Express and all the other great rides KI has to offer are officially open for the 2014 season!

You know it's off season when you look outside at the snow and all you can think of is "HEEEEEEERRRRE'S JOHNNY"

^SUCH a good movie! I love Stanley Kubrick.

Come play with us Danny, for ever, and ever and ever....

....when you find yourself listening to music that reminds you of past seasons or that you hear while at the park.

Shadow Of The Day and Leave Out All The Rest by Linkin Park seems to be the songs that remind me of the 2013 season.

Wonder what's on the playlist for this year.

When you're counting down the days until Opening Day. Can I ride Banshee now??!! Geez I have no patience.

To be honest, I am REALLY excited to ride Banshee, but as of right now, I'm just a little bit more excited to ride Firehawk.

Just a wee bit.

I have a Kings Island playlist featuring Song 2 by Blur, Right Now by Van Halen, Arrival to Earth from the Transformers OST, We Built Our Own World from the Inception OST, and SS Lost-tanic from the LOST Soundtrack.

Bonus points if you know why each of those songs remind me of KI. Almost all of them should be very, very easy.

^They play on rides there?

Yeah those are the easy tracks. Surprised you don't have Dream is Collapsing from the Inception Soundtrack

...when you become slightly frantic over bidding on a Tomb Raider: The Ride poster on eBay because

1.) it's Tomb Raider: The Ride,

2.) it's next to impossible to find any Tomb Raider: The Ride merchandise online, and

3.) you don't really bother to check eBay for this kind of stuff during the summer because it doesn't really cross your mind to do so until Christmas.

(I won, by the by! )

Pics when you get it!

Only thing from TR:TR I want is pics from controls and I'd love to stand on the ground where the A Frame was and just look around.

I miss hearing that resistor bank scream..

^ Well, the original listing had some decent pictures of it in it, but I can't seem to get to those. I'll be sure to take a few pictures when I get it. Until then, have a nice 104x140 sized picture of it:

It's actually right about the middle of the off-season guys! We are halfway there.

Maybe it's the bitter, bitter cold talking ...but somehow, this doesn't make me feel better.

Can't it be April now?!

...When the topic of capitalization becomes a permanent issue.

Ugh

...I've run out of movies to watch and flying internet spaceships (Eve Online...w00t w00t!) is no longer enough to keep my occupied.

I'm losing my freaaaaaking mind man!

You would probably die if you knew the TRTR crap I have.

Oh, and you asked for a controls photo?

As a former TRTR worker, I am disgusted with what the park decided to do with the building.

Wow the panel is...bland, unless did you have function with the Allen Bradley Panelview?

I know Right Now by Van Halen is Drop Tower's queue music, but I'm lost on the other few. I got my parents mad when we were watching Indiana Jones, and every time one of the songs came on I was like, "That's in Adventure Express's queue!"

Wow the panel is...bland, unless did you have function with the Allen Bradley Panelview?

Everything was automated, the panel was a touchscreen... there was another drive booth called the technical director right across from the drive panel.

I still don't know why they call it a drive box...you're not driving anything

One little difference between the parks haha

Any pics looking towards the Gondola. I only ever experienced TR:TR once, then three times during the Crypt years...But the ride always intrigued me. I like seeing details you normally don't see. Take DT at CP for instance, the ride is boring, pain in the ass to run, smells, and annoying. However, going inside and doing a trough walk with lights on, man lots of fun

As requested (this may or may not end up sideways; TinyPic's being weird):

Sorry for the weird angle; the lighting was such that a straight-on picture would have had my silhouette in the middle of a really bright glare.

You would probably die if you knew the TRTR crap I have.

That's a safe bet. Thanks for the picture! If you feel inclined to share any more, they'd definitely be appreciated.
