Sigh...I'm getting tired of the offseason. Does anyone have a time machine so I can fast forward to Opening Day? :lol:

I wish it was only a month-and-a-half left. Valleyfair doesn't open for another three months (May 15th). Darn Minnesota winters :x.

Wow, that sucks. Most seasons start somewhere around April. :(

I think we're getting the to point in the year where the offseason is starting to take its toll on our sanity. I need a coaster ride badly :(.

Toverland as well, but since the start of this winter season they've only opened the first hall. :( No more quiet winterly rides on Troy. (It's now only operational in the holidays if the weather allows it.)

While it seems like a lot of folks were out at their home parks this weekend, I've still got five more weeks to go :(. I really need a coaster ride ASAP.

This is the only coaster I've ridden in the past 6 months

Seriously just a piece of sh*t, you can feel every joint in the track and you'll slam you're chin into the restraints, which will slam down on you're man parts worse than a stand-up.

I got my fix! I went to Great Adventure on Thursday and practically walked onto every coaster there! It feels so good to get the first ride of the season!

Kennywood doesn't open for a few more weeks either - but I'll get my fix at the end of the month at BGW :D

Ah yes, Kings Dominion a week ago and Six Flags this past Saturday. I forgot how amazing Toro is.

I am so excited that the coaster off-season doesn't officially start for me until January 3rd!

Just finished my last summer park visit today before heading off to college next week, so my offseason basically starts now :(. I will be able to visit Valleyfair one more time in October, and I'll probably go to Nickelodeon Universe once or twice this winter, but for the most part, I'm already counting down to next summer.

Those of you that will get to frequently visit parks through the end of coaster season, consider yourself lucky.

Yea no more parks for me this year either. It was nice I got to end off the year with Knott's and Belmont though.

Last steel coaster: Silver Bullet at Knott's (My new favorite invert)
Last wooden coaster: Giant Dipper at Belmont (Oldest coaster I have ever ridden)

I usually end my year with a visit to Phantom Fright Night (and get one last front-seat night ride on Phantom 8-)), so I've got that going for me. After a year of two Kennywood visits and BGW twice as well, I'd say this was a pretty good year :D

I plan to go to Gadv a few more times this year before school opens again, and I'll occasionally visit throughout the fall. I'm definitely attending Holiday in the Park at least once. Since we have that now, the offseason for us is only from January to April. The coaster year never ends! I'm going to OD on the visits during the breaks hopefully if everything goes well (the SF membership might be the best purchase I've made in a long time)

I haven't been to SFGAm this year at all. Been too busy at work to make the trip north. This is going to be a long off season if I don't get to at least one park this summer.

Haven't ridden a coaster for a month now, and I'll only have two more coaster-riding opportunities between now and May. :(
