When you try to find a reason to go out to Kings Mills just so you can drive by Kings Island. Sigh.

... I start thinking about going to the job fair coming up, even though I don't want a job. I just miss KI that much.

When you can't sleep at night anymore because you need to ride a coaster.

When you need Mr. Plow to plow your driveway.

You start regretting not visiting Kings Island a little more last season(This guy ).

When you get snowed into Sandusky and cant get back to Cincinnati.

When you write a poem about the offseason for a class and consider your next poetry assignment to be about The Bat (1993, not 1980's).

EDITed for date clarification

When you start having KI dreams more than once a week, which I am having now!

When you consider the next opportunity in life as a great adventure.

You know.....when you try to make a grocery store purchase by swiping your Platinum Pass. (True story)

I assume it didn't work!

I am glad I am not the only one who has done that!

Ummm. No it didn't work...lol

^^ Wow. I'm thankful that I've never had offseason blues THAT bad...

That is indeed pretty bad. Sorry for your tragic case of the Offseason Blues.

It told him he'd already made a purchase earlier that day, and the cashier promptly escorted him from the premises.

When you're half asleep and NASA TV is on, and you wake up early in the morning and they're interviewing astronaut Scott Kelly, and you're rubbing your eyes because you think you're seeing two Dons!

When even the idea of riding Woodstock Express excites you.

what's wrong with that? haha

When I was younger I got a huge thrill when Woodstock Express was The Beastie. I also remember that I used to close my eyes in the tunnel after the first drop, man those were the days.

When you can't even come up with something clever because you're about to lose your mind from the offseason...

I don't know about you guys, but I'm kind of grateful for the off season. If you spend as much time as I do at KI, you really need some time to recharge the batteries. Don't get me wrong, I'm as bummed as everybody else on closing day, but I like to take the off season to try new things since so much of my time is wrapped up in the park while it's open.

My knees might not always like it too much, but I ALWAYS try to make it a goal to stop in at Woodstock Express when I'm at the park!

It is definitely a spectacular wooden roller coaster, in my opinion.

When the appearance of a mystery bruise on my ankle brings back fond memories of the array of random bruises I had on my legs all summer from the rides.

When you let amusement park ambiance sound loops "rock" you to sleep.

Lol - I sleep with the Islands of Adventure Port of Entry song loop sometimes.

When I am kind of wishing there was no mandatory work next week so I could go to my sisters house in Alabama and make a side trip to Atlanta to go to SFOG because I haven't been on a coaster in 4 months.(just looked it up and SFOG doesn't open for 2 more weeks)

Later,

When riding the nearest Go-Go Gator coaster starts becoming a thrill ride

When you receive a phone call from Kings Island saying you are being re-hired, and yes, I am being re-hired.

When you ride the elevator to the top of your building, and you push the sub-basement button then you pretend that you are on Drop Tower.
