You know its the off-season when you listen to ambient park noise instead of music during class.

...Guilty.

Particularly CoasterBob62's videos. Especially the one taken during the GOCC tour on closing day. Dat Adventure Express sound...

When most of your friends who have never been to Kings Island can name the height, speed, and stats of all KI coasters just from being around you when you talk about them.

As for how I can possibly be friends with people who have never been to KI, I'm not totally sure. Sometimes we all make poor judgement, I guess

You are in the bathroom with a Stomach Flu...

When you go a day without thinking about KI, wake up, realize what you've done, and start crying over it.

When it seems like every topic on KIC is a battlefield.

Bull Run?

Ole, ole!

Wish I had the money to do a bull run car race =/

When you have the window open while riding in your car and you stick your head out to feel the breeze the same way you would on a coaster.

Note: my mom is the one driving the car when I do this; I am still too young to drive.

I must admit, I've done that before xD.

My dogs always enjoyed that.

When the forums have been so busy, that you worry when you don't hear anything until after noon.

Well, this should be obvious. We all love KIC. Love is a battlefield. Therefore, KIC is a battlefield.

When you make a list of photo ops you want to get when you go to the park so you'll be ready to go for next off season's photo contest.

^ Yay. I'm not the only one doing that!

Ganna be hard to fight against someone who was there every day of the operating season with a camera

When you get followed by MaXound Paint Rave on Twitter. Yep, I'm totally planning on going to a rave soon. And one with neon paint.

I hate when I get followed by random people/groups. But they usually correspond to what I tweet about which I find creepy. Like in this case, I just tweeted about having a fun night cosmic bowling and immediately after, I get followed by some paint rave. I guess they somehow saw I tweeted about cosmic bowling and assumed "Oh, this person must like bright neon things and having fun, so let's follow him." It's almost like these pages are stalking people and following whoever posts anything slightly related to their subject. Occasionally I end up following back the page the followed me if it's Ohio State or amusement park related, but I have one simple solution for all the others: Block!

When I actually pay attention to Twitter more than once a month.

When you see Potassium Iodide in Chemistry and get excited.

When you don't know when SFA opens, nor do you particularly care (even if it is only 17 miles away), but you know darn well when your two most favorite large corporate regional seasonal (SIX consecutive FUN adjectives, Jonathan) parks open: NJFTP, April 12, and Kings Island, April 18.

As for Big Droppy Thing, I hear a Banshee wailing. Or is it me?

When you get excited watching POV's of coasters on You Tube and put your hands up in your chair.

You see a book at work with a train on the cover and Kings Island/Miami Valley Railroad comes to mind and you want to ride it!

When during the rare, one-day breaks of 70°+ weather, while working on your truck, you hear a summertime song, and the aroma of grease blending with that of sunscreen and someone's nearby barbecue lets you close your eyes and imagine being on Vortex. Dang this cabin fever! Dang it to heck!

When you wear shorts one day, and a jacket the next.

When you random blurt out different park spiels that you have heard so many times that you have them memorized.

"Alright Stunt Crew now listen up, as with any driving stunt safety first so stay seated with your head against the head rest and your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Secure any loose articles are leave them with the crew before we roll."

My fiancé, a former employee, said no he did that during the season too lol

^^Sorry but I think it's actually... "Ok stunt team, listen up. As with any driving stunt, safety first. So stay seated, keep your head against the headrest, and your hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. Secure all loose articles, or leave them, with the crew, before we roll."

But you got almost all of that anyway.

Say what?!?

I thought it was hands and arms inside the Kaiser

Ciabatta. Maybe BB1's French is rubbing off?
