The Offseason Blues

[Paradox]

I'm trying to get a Germany trip going next year for Taron.

Now that my final theme park trip of the year is over, it's time for me to go sit in a corner and cry for the next seven months.

Just kidding, I'll be occupied by plenty of other things during the offseason. College will keep me busy a lot of the time. There will be plenty of football, basketball, and hockey to watch over the next several months, and there are a number of new movies I'm looking forward to seeing this winter. Also, being a weather geek, I'm looking forward to some snowstorms and other cool winter weather.

I'll still be visiting CoasterCrazy and other theme park sites, but not too often, or else it fuels the offseason depression too much.

Can't wait to see your winter weather snapshots added in the "Photography" thread!

Okay thanks!

^Same

Now that most North American regional parks are closed for the year, the depression is setting in . Even though I'll survive the offseason, the first few months of it will be tough.

Parks in tropical countries have no off-season! Too bad there aren't many coasters either.

Whats an off-season again?

Just out of curiosity, have you ever ridden Wild Wind at Circles of Fun?

Just waiting to go to California to use my overpriced Disneyland pass...

Awesome, perhaps I should book a short holiday to your area.

I have ridden the same model which is traveling on the German Fairs:














Quite an interesting ride. Went round twice when I rode it. Had a few rough spots but for the rest it was much smoother than I expected.

I actually haven't yet; Quezon City is pretty far away from where I live. Would like to try it out someday though! Just to find out for myself how it feels to ride one of those. Haha

That would be really cool! Enchanted Kingdom's planning a pretty big park expansion, and I would not be surprised if we got a new coaster before 2020. (You know your country's suffering a really bad coaster drought if that sounds like great news to you! )

Haha, 2020 is still a long way to go. Gave a quick look at the parks around Enchanted Kingdom. Quite a bunch in an area of 50km. Including Circles of fun! The coasters itself aren't anything special, but it would be a great credit whoring run around the country.

You know, what's weird is the fact that I actually haven't been to some parks (especially the ones in Manila like Star City) for years now so there are quite some coasters there I haven't ridden! It would be cool to go out there and take a look at those other parks.

Only 6 months left until the offseason is over for me.

Only never for me

Four more months until my offseason is over.

^ That's a pretty long coaster draught...

If I had NL, I would probably be on it a lot. Need to reinstall my old RCT and Hyperrails. I did just finish making a coaster word-find with about 175 coaster names in the puzzle. Going to submit it to GOCC to send out to its members.

Wow so great to hear that story! Then I suggest reading the intro of a person talking about Ultimate Rides! The game system is kind of similar (in my eyes) to that of Hyperrails.

Here's the link to the intro: http://www.coastercrazy.com/forums/i-have-not-been-into-here-for-such-a-long-time-t36067.html

I'm officially past the halfway point of the offseason . 98 days left.

[Mr. Freeze]

Im officially never done with the season

About 2 months for me. This season could be a pretty busy one for me this year. I finally decided on a membership for six flags(Great Adventure, America, and New England are within reasonable driving range), Dorney is only 30 minutes away, The Gf's sister lives right next to Hershey, and we're starting to plan a Disney trip. If I can get to SFNE, I'll also try to get to LC and Quassy too.

^ Big congrats to your status!

Next month here, as Silver Dollar City opens. But due to finances, our off-season will be much longer!

starting to count the days until thorpe/towers open... 17 days left
