Oh, yes- spotting the landmarks! Good times! 

When you check the webcams on the KI website daily to see if they have been adjusted so we can see the progress on the two off season construction projects. I do this even though the most important one to me is the new toll plaza with the only times I have visited Soak City the past few years is to go through there during Halloween Haunt to get my mini pumpkin.

I just enjoy watching the Canada geese moving in to keep watch over the park during those long, winter months.

When you are already planning how you're going to use most of your vacation time next year and the first event is still 5 months away

When Star Wars: The Force Awakens is finally in theaters!

When it gets dark outside much too early and it feels like 10 pm at 7 pm.

Anyone else checking out the webcams on this beautifully unseasonably warm day thinking how neat it would be to take a stroll through the park today??

Yes (for several days now)  LOL

When you drive past three amusement parks, but can't visit any of them.

When today is Christmas!

When your boyfriend buys you a Kinex inverted, launched coaster to "Hold you over" .

I've been checking the website for opening dates so much, I finally noticed I think you can see a sliver of my shirt in the pic at the top of the calendar page, from the day I got to spend at the closed park as an extra for their photo shoot...

Yeah that little bit of pink at the back of the train? That's me...

When you start seriously regretting not visiting the park more during the past season.

My wife had the same thought when she got my son the Glove World (Spongebob) toy for Christmas.

Drove all the way to Sandusky to drop things off for work and then turned around to head home. If it was a week day 5 months earlier...or 4.5 months later, I could stay and play. Whomp whomp. Feel the same way when I'm in Cinci for overnight work trips.

When you sit at your favorite table in the Escort Drive Skyline Chili, look out the window into the winter-darkened afternoon, squint your eyes and pretend you're at Kings Island, and  the Wendy's across the way is the other side of International Street... yep. The blues are a settin' in.

When Kings Island sends you an email to buy a 2016 Gold Pass.

When as you recline in your chair inside and look outside to see what looks to be as if a scene straight out of a New England horror flick, dead trees with a deer staring straight at me.

When your friend lets you use his Google Cardboard and the first things you do are walk around Kings Island and take a virtual ride of Valravn (complete with me making twisting and turning motions like I'm on it).

When you find and purchase a kangaroo crossing sign in honor of Boomerang Bay.

When you feel compelled to exit at Western Row and re-enter at Kings Mills, when you can just as easily stay on I-71.

With the Cedar Point Valravn VR app you should be able to look 360 degrees making it feel like your actually on it. its absolutely amazing compared to stereoscopic videos where you have to twist and turn, like you said, to enhance the experience. 

When people people on KIC get super angry about capitalization because they don't have anything else to do.

Someone's been gone for quite some time.

And like many things, there was a reason.

And it continued.

Until it didn't.

There was a reason for that, too.

No one rang a bell.

No anger though. Just doing what had to be done. And then...

When you read posts on KICentral, and someone mentions Western Row and you automatically say aloud: "Western Row Road" in a Scooby voice.

When the Bengals lose in the playoffs.

Too soon?

When clicking on a picture of a cookie qualifies as fun around here.

 

When I finally give into the weather & get my winter coat out of the closet.

When I finally give into the weather & get my winter coat out of the closet.

As did I Malem, I actually started to wear my coat to work this week because it was so cold.

 

You know it's the Off-Season when you want to go to Kings Island, but you realize it's January.

When your getting ready for the Super Bowl!

when you get tired of the cold and book a cruise. San Juan,St Kitt,Tortola,Castaway Cay, And Miami.
