You Know It's the Off Season When...

Featured Replies

When I build a snowman! :D

 

And also when I see a Valravn photo from Cedar Point on Instagram and I get excited...

Snowman nothing.  I build a snow-lie coaster.  There wasn't enough snow for it this year though.

    Thank you so much LoraX. A year or two ago, a 13 year old former friend of mine posted the positive results of her pregnancy test on Facebook. Her own mother, congratulated her, saying that she was so

When you are constantly watching POV videos and coaster music videos, no matter what the park. 

 

I think it's more of a realization that this is a symptom of the off season then a conscious decision, as in: oh, I miss KI, so I'm going to watch POVs and coaster music videos all day... ;it's more like someone might say "He's been watching a lot of POVs lately, I guess he really misses the park", if that makes sense

When you go from cold and snowy to lower 60s and windy in less than a week.

And then 70 and clear the next day. :D

Why would you lie about a snow coaster?

Terp, who missed you. Aren't you glad? Get the wonderful wife back here. You can do it!

I'm trying!  ;)  Mentioning your posts is helping too!

When you get Larosa's pizza, on a beautiful day, and want to get on Adventure Express immediately after you finish eating.

When fully puling into someone's driveway reminds you of The Beast's first drop lol (hands up too!)  :lol:

 

And also, when it's nice enough to go to the park, but it's not open yet.

 

*Maybe that first one would go in the "You might be a roller coaster enthusiast if..." thread, but it still works here..

There is a road that the pattern and angle of the curves always puts me in mind of the section of Beast after the graveyard tunnel.  The funny part is that it has a railroad track and long gradual hill right after, so I always make ARB sounds as if it's lift 2.

Where is Goble?

Meanwhile, I will be taking my first "Spring" walk today!

When you look at the webcams. And the leaves are gone

Then rides aren't running

The music stopped playing.

The shows are done

The park is empty

You start planning for that epic theme park roadtrip that will never happen.  B)

ARB: anti-rollback.

LOL! I would have figured it out pretty easily, though. :P

Right here, watching the Daytona 500. :)

You know it's the offseason when a ride on Backlot Stunt Coaster sounds tempting due to the nice weather... I say this because I'm not one to frequent that ride often... 

You know it's off season when... the highlight of your week is on Saturday when KI FB posts how many Saturday's are left until opening day! (And when you annoy your friends by sharing said post every Saturday)

Have another one! You know it's off season when you're measuring your 6 year old weekly with fingers crossed that she makes it to the coveted 48" so she can ride her first "big" coaster this season. (I think it may happen at the very end of the season, probably not before).

When you have a rollercoaster related dream and wake up sad because you know it'll be a few months before that itch can be scratched :(

When sitting back in the car, feeling the warm wind, you feel spring coming and that Opening Day is coming.

When your first park and ride of 2016 doesn't happen at Kings Island. Cheetah Hunt at BGT will have to take that position.

There should be an off season March madness bracket but instead of basketball teams, it's roller coasters! Maybe that could be a thread lol
