It's been done in the past.

It no longer is as it wasn't very fun.

Wins would be based on votes, and everyone has to vote for their favorites coasters to push it on to the next round

See the post above yours...

Also note any forum game must be approved in advance by a mod. That's part of the reason for that rule.

Well that's disappointing lol but thanks for the heads up [emoji846]

When opening day is literally a month away!

When you're stalking the webcams, waiting and watching for the park to start testing the rides for upcoming season.  Saw them putting the BLSC thru some paces this morning.  The white train, on one of its runs, did not make it up the top of the helix hill, and actually rolled back down from where it came.  First time I'd ever seen that happen!

It's happened before with me on it!

I want a rollback!

 

jcgoble3, who in 2011 missed a TTD rollback by two trains

...when I'm riding in the passenger seat on a warm day, with the window down, and the urge to stick my head out into the wind to feel like I'm on a coaster is almost irresistible.

When I'm wanting to be cooled off by either Congo Falls or White Water Canyon as it's really hot outside... (this happened earlier today)

When you have to take business trip up North and plot a KI driveby (still undecided)

When it's 72 on Tuesday and they're calling for possible snowflakes on Sunday then rain and 68 the following Wednesday.

When you and your friends watch POV videos of The Beast and Diamondback and pretend to ride!

When the park posts a short clip of The Beast doing a test run with water dummies and your HR increases substantially.

Goble: To those in the medical field, HR: heart rate.

It makes sense as Human Resources, too, though. "You want how much time off to do WHAT?! "

You start speculating on what the park is going to add for the next season already even though the park has yet to open up for the current season.

I knew what he was talking about.

When there's only 28 days till opening day and it feels like forever! I'm trying to stay busy so opening day gets here faster! Can't wait to see the park back in action!

When I've gone from checking my countdown app every day thinking the end of the offseason would never get here, to avoiding looking at it because it reminds me of all the projects I wanted to do around the house before summer that I haven't gotten to yet.

The Interpreter:  Funny you say this.  I just got my summer vacation request approved:  2 weekends off in June which equates to about 19 days to travel to Virginia, PA, and maybe NJ to visit parks!   Any "must see parks" besides Camden, KD and BGW?

I am very partial to Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom--which puts you very close to NJFTP.

OR you can always swing by Kennywood on your "way" back to the Commonwealth...

Dorney is on my list. Forgive my ignorance (and I will do more detailed digging once I am finished with my last class in 8 weeks), but what about Knoebels, Waldameer and I am sure there are many other small parks in PA that I can't think of after a LONG day at work.

 

I'm doing a Dollywood and Carowinds trip in 8 days!  So excited!

Knoebels and Waldameer are both musts. Be sure to check Knoebels calendar. You do not want to go on a day when only tickets are accepted. And, they can have some funky hours.

Also consider Hersheypark, Conneaut Lake Park for a couple of hours or so IF it opens this year, Idlewild in Ligonier has a great mouse and the wonderful Rollo-Coaster, if you have spare time in New Jersey, there's Wildwood and Clementon...

I really enjoyed Dorney Park. They have a great Whip! Their Zephyr is a nice train ride but may not be the most comfortable for taller people.  Their Cedar Creek Flyers are a bit off the beaten track and didn't seem to get a lot of people when I visited last June. I was able to ride, exit, and ride on the next cycle. For a smaller park, they have a good mix of coasters and rides. 

 

Hersheypark is also a nice park. Their dueling wooden coaster is a lot of fun - try both sides. Laff Trakk was an unexpected blast. Their Whip isn't as good as Dorney's but it's okay. Their Frontier Flyers seem to go a bit higher and faster but that may just be my perception. 

 

Enjoy your road trip! 

I went to Knoebels last year for the first time, and it is a must. They have two fantastic wooden roller coasters (The Twister and the Phoenix) and a great traditional Haunted House ride. 

Hershey is amazing; if you go, ride Storm Runner, Lightning Racer and Great Bear (those were my favorites at least; ymmv). Ride Skyrush for the credit (but again, ymmv). Dorney is pretty nice; they have a lot of fun coasters like Talon, Thunderhawk, Possessed, Hydra and Steel Force. Meteor is terrifying, but amazing. Hershey's Wild Mouse is better than Dorney's, imo.   

Dorney is a nice park, but I like to call it the Recycling Bin of Cedar Fair! 

...which is more than Michigan's Adventure gets...

You know it's the offseason when it finally feels like Spring outside (sunny but chilly)... 26 days!

...coaster withdrawal starts making you go insane in the weeks/months leading up to Opening Day.
