Vekoma Fan Boy Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I searched for this topic and no topics meet your search criteria"so i apologise if this has come up. Exactly what the title says hobbies you do to get through the off season. I particularly have just gotten into model railroading and i do like it, I'm planing to start a real layout in a year or two.
Spookbaby Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 "All work and no rollercoasters make Spookbaby go crazy."
Masked_Maverick Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 TPR,TN, My Space, School helps me a bit to get my mind off of Roller Coasters.
Wes Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I get into large flamewars with kids who think they are dragons.
coastrfreak2000 Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 ^ I usually spend alot of time playing RCT3. And I spend time on various coaster sites and school also gets my mind off coasters.

Exactly what the title says hobbies you do to get through the off season. I particularly have just gotten into model railroading and i do like it, I'm planing to start a real layout in a year or two. Im into model railroading aswell. I dont have any practice building terrain and stuff so at the moment Im working on a small railroad diorama. If Im happy with the result and my interest in trains remains I may start building standarized FREMO modules ( http://www.fremo.org/inhalt_e.htm ). There seems to be quite a few people building those in Norway at the moment...
ebl Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 This is Southern California. There is no off-season. Seriously, I do have some non-coaster hobbies, believe it or not. Photography, coin collecting, diabetes, cartooning, cars, and probably some other stuff that I can't think of right now. Eric
Rugged One Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I drink beer. Seriously. Check the beer thread for the last 3 months...
downunder Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 Being in Sydney is like an all year round off season, I play a lot of sport, play an instrument, and plan my next trip to the USA.

Try this website, they make modules too and it seems to be extremely easy, and quite a bit more fun than those FREMO modules. Go to How to demos and select the top video and it will explain everything on how to use their Mod-U-Rail system. That is what i am going to use.
ParkTrips Posted January 18, 2007 Posted January 18, 2007 I eagerly await threads about dead animals.
GMAN962 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Well there's not really an off season over here in the south bay....most of our parks are open, so when I say of season I think more of the time I'm not at theme parks. here's what I do.....mostly. Hang out with friends. Go to school..... Photography Video games (Mostly Gears of War, or Wii) Use the computer Etc. ~Mike "No off season over here " J
phazan Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I like dirtbiking, photography, and paintballing! It's pretty awesome...
socalMAN123 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 ^ I go to theme parks! Brent "living in Socal has one perk, no off season!" Shenton
Angry_Gumball Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 School, work, NL, and Wii. But due to school and work, the off season lasts about 90% of the year...so I guess the off season doesn't hit me as hard as others as I'm so used to it. I guess that's also good so I can't get sick of my home parks for when I do get the chance to visit them.
Homer Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 School and video games. Oh wait, Florida doesn't have an offseason, but thats what I usually do when its not park season.
Jayjay719 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 In the offseason I pretty much don't do anything but wait until opening day arrives. But this year Im injured and can't walk so I sit all day long and watch the idiot box even though there's nothing on TV. Is it almost opening day? lol....
knottslover77 Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Riding Coasters. Sorry it really sucks for you guys. When I'm not riding coasters I watch movies. --Jay
IceDragon Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 i like to watch films, read books, rct3 (nearly completed for the third time), photography (getting ready for the open season!), TPR and other stuff... im thinking of tying to make an indoor all-season thrill ride venue... so far i have nothing though :\, so thaty wont ever come... James 'only 22 days until open season!' Collins
SonOfBeastSucks Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 Arson usually can keep me entertained when I can't ride coasters.
mcjaco Posted January 19, 2007 Posted January 19, 2007 I play basketball two times a week, and work out. I've always been a gym rat. Typically, by this time of the year I've injured myself somewhat seriously. I can check that off my list again, two years in a row I've thrown my back out.
