When you want to skip work to go to a park.

When this site's activity increases significantly because we can't use the parks to keep us busy.

You all are terrible, terrible trolls for keeping this thread going.

...when the weather is nice outside, but then you think "Wait, Kings Island's not open!" as I did earlier today... approx. 6 more months; we can do this!

..You get on here to check wait times for rides but realize that's not going to happen till next April.

When you have to make an unexpected drive to Cinci for work and your co-workers ask if you are going to stop by KI on the way back. Nope...park's closed. The moose should have told you.

When you get home on Friday at 6 and get the "Why aren't we on Diamondback look"

When you realize this is the first weekend you won't be on a roller coaster.

Off-season? I'm still in denial for another week.

^I can just feel the glares coming from that post.

When you don't have to worry about your schedule being filled up each weekend.

Which is the longer walk to the station? The Bat or The Boss? It has been a couple of years for me.

...when swimming starts. First practice on Monday! (though for me it'll be Tuesday because I have Springfield Youth Symphony rehearsal on Monday)

When you're driving around downtown because you have nothing planned at night anymore.

When bowling becomes your Friday plans with friends.

I didn't measure, but Boss's queue feels longer with the way it wraps around. Not to mention that re-riding requires walking all the way out to the front.

When you start to make plans for 2017. [emoji854]

When you finally start to organize your photos and Funpix downloads

When you get there the security guard says, "Sorry folks, parks closed, the moose out front should of told you!"

When it dawns on you that you won't see most of the KICers until next April.

When you see this thread lol

When the ride craving thread starts to get tons of posts. 

When you figure out days until preview night (it's 164)

I got 155 'til opening day... Hope I'm the correct one

It hasn't been officially announced yet has it?

^No, and unless I missed something a preview day hasn't been confirmed either.

^  No formal announcement.  Just going off the signs on the park about Mystic Timbers on April 15th and figuring that Friday before will be preview night.  If so, then my number is 154 (my bad on addiing).  Maybe the park will open sooner and Mystic Timbers is the 15th.  Heres to hoping.

I hope they do Media Day and Preview Day on that Friday.....

 

As it would work out PERFECTLY with my schedule.

That Friday is Good Friday, remember Banshee did open on Good Friday in 2014.

... When you pass 3 closed (for the season) theme parks (Timber Falls/MT. Olmpus/Six Flags Great America) on vacation.

 

...When you start planning for 2017. My plans include Mystic Timbers, Carowinds, a NorCal trip, and Wisconsin Dells area.

Just wanted to note that we're now a little under five months until opening day, assuming a mid-April open.
