ernierocker Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Sadly, it is time to dust the cobwebs off this thread and bump her up. With most park's ending their 2011 season this weekend, it is time once again for the off-season. If you missed this thread last year, it is pretty simple. Discuss the things you do to fill that empty void in your life during the winter months. Do you eat junk food and ice cream to cope with your off-season depression? Do you stare at your Six Flags Park Map posters for hours on end? What do you do to survive the dreaded off-season??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightypotato Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 This thread is endlessly depressing. It's going to be a long off season...it always is. At least I can occupy myself with Leviathan construction. If I get desperate, there's always YouTube POVs and No Limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asimowalk Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 TPR POVs (and Drunk Piers videos) and following Leviathan's construction will help me get through this winter. There's also tubing as the next best thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjune4991 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 What is this off-season you're talking about? Sorry, I'm sure it can be hard for some people. I will be moving away from Florida in about 2 years, so I know I will get hit worst during the off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I watch hockey relentlessly, latch onto it and don't let go . I am considering an off-season trip to SFMM maybe Dec or Jan to get a quick fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Plan trips for next year. Probably going to move to Orlando at the end of the year, so my offseason will end then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinTheAttendant Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Watch "New for 2012" videos/animations as well as the always high quality TPR videos. Usually I forget about the off season during Christmas time and sometimes we even go to Florida over winter break, but then January through March are the most painful times. Thank God TPR doesn't have an off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odene497 Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Now that it's pretty much officially the "off season", I'll mostly just be working more to both pay off the hole this past year has dug me and try to get together some funds for next years plans. I'm also going to Florida next week, so that's a fun little season extension. And I'm crossing my fingers for Europe in early spring, to start me off ahead of time! But yeah, school, work, friends. Maybe a good video game or two. Food Network. I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be moving away from Florida in about 2 years, so I know I will get hit worst during the off-season. Oh, I forgot to mention. The first person from Florida or California that rubs it in gets an automatic 24 hour ban! Celebrate? Ah, that's right! You are kind of on the opposite end of the spectrum from the rest of us!

osm Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 1- Read TR's on this site, and plan trips to those parks for the distant future. 2- Scheme up ways to get someone to take me to a Florida park when I go next month. 3- Think about other stuff (sports). It's not that bad for me because I go to parks during the season much less than most of you guys anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 This season went by so fast! Posting in this thread last off-season doesn't seem too long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Yes, another offseason has started for me as well. I think that the main thing I do is follow construction on many as many parksas I can think of. Then there is trip planning although I generally organize things as the season goes through. The third thing is practice my favourite winter sport which is skiing! Also I follow the skiing races on TV. And finally there's the soccer Champion's League!

YoshiFan Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I guess reading coaster/park message boards and playing a lot of video games. Unfortunately, my other main interest after riding coasters is baseball which almost follows the coaster season, from April to October so it makes the off season extra boring. I'm considering going to Sesame Place next month for their holiday event since it is only a 30 minute drive and their Vekoma Jr. Coaster is going to be open if it is warm enough out, so that will at least give me a small coaster fix. And every year I'm still hoping that Hershey will consider at least opening up a coaster or two for Christmas Candylane. I'd gladly drive almost 2 hours even for Trailblazer. I don't understand why they can't. Sunday at Great Adventure it was in the mid 30's during the last hour the park was open and they didn't shut down any rides because of the cold so the rides can run in cold weather. April 7th (Great Adventure's opening day) can't come soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matteocrepaldi Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Gardaland is open for Christmas. If they open Raptor I might consider a visit! Videogames are another thing that keeps me busy in the long winter days. Too bad my PS3 died and I still haven't bought a new one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) Video games, RCT projects to focus on, my other love: yoyoing. Time to learn some new tricks and stuff. By the way, this end of CA does have an offseason and a 'limited operation' mode...But for me, I experience the 'off' mode since my home park's closed for the season.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Been doing some RCT3 stuff (Trying to release my new dark ride in late Dec/early Jan), but I have better things. When our park season ends, our ski one begins. Thus, we don't have an off-season for getting an adrenaline fix. Note photos below: Arapahoe Basin's Pallavicini The sign at the top I'm going for the first time this season on Sunday, and might hit this one. I've done it a few times, but it's hard as hell.
