You Know It's the Off Season When...

[Ride On_17]

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 walk through Google Boomerang Bay at Kings Island.

...when we're all talking about Banshee and watching the webcams closely.

When you notice every grammar mistake...oh wait.

[myklhicks]

when you watch pov's to every ride in Kings Island. even Flight of Fear.

[bengals fan]

when you drive past Kings Island the parking lot is empty. A very sad sight.

You're thinking about the cool trips to theme parks that you're going to take next year (I know I am!!! )!

You only type in the letter "K" in the address bar and the new content link pops up first..

When the leaves and snow start collecting here...

...when you resort to reading TPR for extra activity.

(To me it's really not as bad as people say, I kind of like it.)

When you argue over the spacing of Banshee's loop.

When someone makes a topic called "You Know It's the Off Season When...".

When the "No Limits Discussion Thread" thread finally rears its lovely head. (Or at least that used to be the case... Seems I'm the only one left here who still uses NL!)

When you make a master plan to lose more weight before the next season to make sure you can ride the new coaster (and get more air time!)

That might change when NL2 comes out...

razmataz, who still uses NL.

...when the majority of parks in the US are closed.

Just statin' the obvious.

[Ride On_17]

...when you stare at webcams--not even the construction ones--when there's absolutely nothing to see but you just want to look at the park.

[KHFan29]

When you try to recreate a coaster that is not even open yet in RCT3.

..... you plan on meeting your fellow KIC'ers at GWL instead of the park.

..... you plan on meeting your fellow KIC'ers at GWL instead of the park.

...and you are just happy to be near the park.

[thedevariouseffect]

The potential meetups threads are non existent...

And trip reports are scarce

...when this question/thread idea is now being used on PointBuzz, here on KIC, and CP Rundown's Facebook page all at the same time.

When you see a silver comb on the ground and look for long grey hair stuck on it.

[malem]

... when the construction thread just can't seem to get off the topic of toilets.

When you are still awake at 5 A.M. watching videos from IAAPA.

When you find yourself reading the back of your season pass....

...when you pretend your swiveling, rolling, and height adjustable desk chair is a roller coaster car and you pretend to be on a ride.
