When most of your posts are centered around Christmas gifts.

When your building a coaster out of Popsicle sticks

Popsicle is a registered trademark of the Unilever Group of Companies. As such, it is always capitalized.

Apparently, the company is very worried about losing its trademark to genericization. This is one of the more detailed advisories/warnings I have seen. I have never heard anyone refer to Popsycle type confections as "pops." I suspect this is not the wisest of Unilever decisions.

Protect the mark or watch the courts Wisk it away, with the Sun.

When you start watching Paramount movies to see how closely the rides matched them...

(The Italian Job can be purchased for $5 at Target, by the by.)

When even the topics in the off topic section go off-topic...

When your bones start aching from the cold, and the thought of getting on a roller coaster makes your face feel chapped.

You have long exciting discussions with friends about Doctor Who.

Sorry, BB1, who is a Doctor Who enthusiast, who will speak of this subject all day if applicable, right now I am discussing this magical dust that has just occurred.

Also, please abide by the TOS, which states not to make a "one word post" applicable to this, as a "one word" by the gif, please add some sort of diction with some sort of syntax to this statement.

^ That GIF contains nine words, so it's good.

^ One word? I count nine in that animated gif.

EDIT: what goble said

Not to mention a picture paints more than a thousand words.

I've been here a very long time, both on KIC and on this earth. Never have I heard an image here must be accompanied by words. What Nick_Plummer did was brilliant. Each user can in his or her own mind paint their own words. To require the user to add words to a meme or image is ridiculous. It would actually restrict thought and discussion rather than add to it.

Besides, were that the requirement, which it is not, virtually the entire Random Photos thread would be in violation. It isn't.

I've posted this before, but here's a no-frill video of a visit I made in 2011.  It's pretty much a whole day condensed into 3 minutes.  I just watched it again today.  Hopefully it can help someone's off-season blues just a bit!

OK, where's the video?

When a pun goes wrong.

BB1, just punning around(Have some humor!)

When you stop posting entirely because you have nothing to say.

*cough*

When you find yourself checking the website for calendar dates or looking for new info on the new season.

Everyone knows that Adventure Express was themed to Indiana Jones.

To have named it Indiana Jones ride, would have been to expensive.

WAIT. Adventure Express was themed to Indiana Jones?! (No, this isn't a joke. I actually didn't realize.)

Yes.

Dude go back and watch Temple of Doom.

It wasn't.

I know it wasn't as Mr. Carl Lindner told me himself that it wasn't.

And no connection between Phantom Theater and Phantom of the Opera. Nor Houdelini and Houdini.

Coincidences.

Nothing more.

Carl Lindner said so.

The video lifted my spirits. Sad that Son of Beast is gone, but progress comes at a price. I wonder if there is any plans for the Tomb Raider site other than a haunt attraction?

I've only seen Crystal Skull, and I half payed attention.

^ I'm sorry you had to see that. Is there anything we could do to help the scaring pain of seeing that film?

Yes. Shorten the off season please!

When you try to start to learn Khuzdul....

When you walk through the park on Google Earth.... every day.

They say not to lie to young'uns about the experiences of Roller Coasters in case they develop a phobia from it, but I will admit to having done that one time, with regards to the Indiana Jones/Adventure Express "coincidence".

In order to entice my then seven-year-old nephew to ride Adventure Express, I told him it was an Indiana Jones ride (Raiders of the Lost Ark is his favorite movie). The queue music and the skeleton in a fedora just before the first lift hill aided me greatly in my deception. And he rode it and loved it. Still can't quite get him on Racer, but he's now ridden Backlot, Woodstock Express, and Adventure Express, as well as both coasters at Stricker's Grove. I'm hoping that this season I can convince him that Racer is only a little bit scarier than Tornado.

Of course, in the eyes of a child, perhaps the difference is much bigger than it seems to an enthusiast. Admittedly, 55 feet to 88 feet is quite a leap in height.

When you consider driving from 2 hours away just to see the park standing there, inactive, in all it's beauty
