And then your head really hurts from the Gerstlauer trains.

..... this is the extent of your entertainment

You miss seeing your KIC family/friends at the park.

When you look at the temperature and start thinking of the rides that will run at the current temperature.

When you hear about KIC on Reddit and decide to finally join KIC 

Welcome to KIC @OTTER9919

Uh oh, they heard about us on reddit.  Only pain and misery will follow.  

When you you try to fill the void by sleigh riding down a hill no one should ever attempt to sled.

Thanks

...when I pull into the garage but wait a bit to go inside because Cars just came on the radio

When you start to build a lot of Legos and think about making a lego giga

You know it's the Off-Season when you start watching coaster reviews on Youtube (how many more days until The Bat flies again?).

Also, you know it's the Off-Season when you can no longer rely on Kings Island to keep your Pokemon Go items fully stocked...

you know its the off-season when you spend hours on ki central because you are afraid you will miss something ...

...when you keep refreshing your job email inbox so you see the next email from KI's HR department regarding your job on-boarding process as soon as possible!

And last night I had a dream that I was responding to a technical delay at Vortex. I'm looking forward to this summer when the temperature and humidity will soar above 90 once again in which Vortex will show just how temperamental a 31-year-old Arrow looper can be.

...when you want to board ET just to stare at the park layout. ...and you're excited to watch fireworks from the observation deck.

You know it's the offseason when the bleach you are cleaning with mysteriously transforms into the layout of Mystic Timbers...

The front half...

The back half...

Note: this was not intentional, it was subconcious, I guess...

Also, it may be hard to see as it's white on white, but it's (loosely) there.

I recently saw a thread like this over at PB and searched on here and didn't see anything like it. I think it could be a fun way to stay entertained during the long, cold winter while snow covers our favorite rides.
You know it's the off season when...
...you "walk" through amusement parks using Google Streetview pretending you're at the park, and you stop by the rides, restaurants, and shops in the order that you would as if you were actually there.

When you goto your local larosas and ask why the pizza and breadsticks don’t cost 17.99

^If you go during lunch, you can get a decent meal for less than $10 at the normal restaurants.  

When you don't live in Cincy and find out that Skyline and LaRosa's are coming soon to Lexington, only an hour away!

Skyline was announced a couple of weeks ago and I predicted LaRosa's would be added.  It will go on Richmond Road.  Saw today my prediction is true.    I'm very happy about it.  I live near Harrodsburg but work in Lex.

 

EDIT:  to show the location detail I omitted.

Hopefully they'll do well off Richmond Rd. and expand out to Hamburg. I am similar to you, I live in Winchester but work in Lex...

@KImom According to the story on Kentucky.com today, the franchisee is going to open several more in the Lexington area.  It is the same group that runs the First Watch locations in Lexington.  I can only dream that means it will come to Danville.  haha.  The Larosa's will provide seating for around 200 people, so I think it will do well.  It'll probably be like the set up in Dry Ridge.

When you go to a dead mall and grocery store with your KI peeps because you can't go to the park.  

Also, when @IndyGuy4KI asks if CiCi's pizza is covered on the meal plan.

Hopefully the Larosa's and Skyline will get built quickly and successfully and stay for a long time because a couple of years ago their was a rumor that they were planning to build a Larosa's here near me in Nicholasville but it never was completed and I didnt here anything more about it. Hopefully this will prove to be successful and serve the central Kentucky area with Cincy pride! 

I hope they bring LaRosa's near Cleveland sometime soon, it was one of the better pizzas I have had compared to others in my area.

I think I'm one of a few who like the KI LaRosa's more than the LaRosa's LaRosa's.  I mean, it's okay, but the KI pizza has tasted the same since I was a kid.  Tastes like my childhood. LOL

That was addressed in the article.  It said construction delays caused the end of that project.  This proposal sounds much more promising.  And hello from Harrodsburg, nice to know there are people close to here!
