BBparks57 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I usually run over to Universal to get on the Hulk and Mummy. That keeps me occupied until I can get back out to bigger more thrilling parks! Although with the move coming up next year, I sure am going to miss the year round parks of Orlando! Usually school got me through the off season, but now hopefully a job will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doublestufforeo Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Sorry whats that? I can't hear you over the sound of the roller coasters still operating in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce232 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 ^LOL. Â I'm surviving the off season by going to Busch Gardens as much as I can before my Funcard expires, then I'm doomed with the rest of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ27 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 This is the first time I've ever had to experience an off-season. I used to think it was bad in California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gisco Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Off-season? I plan on going to WCB in mid February. With Christmas in between, it won't seem like that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Planning a trip covering at least three mountain coasters in the Northeast (possibly five) along with a stop at Lake Placid to try their Bobsled and Skeleton runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Heading out to Dollywood for Smoky Mountain Christmas on the 16th. Woo Hoo! Hoping to be at WCB in February. I am usually there in So. Cal most of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazekiddd Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Heading to Santa's Enchanted Forest tonight and since it runs until January, can use that to keep me busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I generally just sit back and end up watching more coaster videos, I get to work designing more ride concepts, and I look through the massive database of photos (OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAAAAND!) that I downloaded over the past couple of years. I'm also going to sell my old Xbox and Xbox 360 games that I don't use anymore, (I still have about 20 that I want to keep) and the money I'm going to get from that and working between semesters at the local Tops deli (Tops is a supermarket chain in the North East for those who don't know) will go towards finishing up getting the required funds for New Hotness, so I have the prospects of that to look forward to and daydream about. I have enough cash to go on the trip and to supply myself with a full day's worth of meals for the whole trip, but I still need $430 or so to cover the cost of the plane tickets. I never went to parks more than five days in a row, and I only did that once, four years ago, in FL. So, this will be a huge new experience for me. I hope to get the money by the time I go back to college for my next semester in mid January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 So far this off season I have "coped" by swing dancing, and floating in a pod like an astronaut. (No, seriously.) Â Really the off season has only been going on for a month, and I'll be visiting BGW soon, so it won't really hit me until like February. And I have a billion other interests anyway.

ernierocker Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 Good news everyone! The off-season is almost over! Now that we are less than two months away from a lot of parks opening for the 2012 season, what have you guys been able to accomplish this winter?? Â Most of my off-season has been kept busy by my two little brats, I mean toddlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Offseason? Winter? These words are quite foreign to a Californian. Would you mind explaining them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 ^ Â Â Oh, I forgot to mention. The first person from Florida or California that rubs it in gets an automatic 24 hour ban! Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueerRudie Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Most of my off-season has been kept busy by my two little brats, I mean toddlers. Â You mean future profit centers for coaster whores needing a child to ride the kiddie coasters???? Â As for my winter: 1.) Began the process of relocating to Austell, GA (Yes, you know why. Pbbbbt.) 2.) Lost 18 lbs. of 60 planned. 3.) Found out four more reasons to go to WCB. 4.) Fantasized about SkyRush 5.) Fantasized about living 2mi. from Mindbender. Â Beyond that, been an empty winter really. Of course, my season starts in five days, so I can't complain, either! Â R.D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry_Gumball Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 My offseason's been going by fast actually. Starting off with some MW3 action, yoyoing, and other games to holidays, then what I typically think as the long period of nothing in January and February was occupied with learning to ride a unicycle (which is the perfect cure for me). Sure I still have 6 more weeks before my home park opens but that will be a piece of cake to get through as I continue to progress on my 1-wheeled adventures. With a lot of the nice weather us Bay Area folk have been experiencing, nothing has been more satisfying than going outside and work on my rides... You can say we've had Spring in January and February. Â I keep hearing that 2012's going to be an exciting season for my home park so I'll be looking forward to this season's happenings as much as we won't have a 2012 ride.

MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Here, we have two separate seasons; ski season and park season. One ends the time the other begins (give or take a few days). If you're into skiing/boarding and parks, there's technically never an off-season for an adrenaline fix.

DarkStitch626 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Well I have two parts to my statement. Â 1.What's an off season? I'm enjoying the lack there of crowds at my Florida based year round parks. Like getting over to Busch Gardens Tampa, having 9 rides on almost everything major with WALK-ON ability. Though they enforce riding two times then having to go back around even when there is NOT a single person in line waiting. Â 2.I feel all your off'-season pains people, don't think me as a butt-hole for saying "What Off season?" I use to live in NJ and SC. We had off seasons, I am just enjoying not having one.

YoshiFan Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I have been working on my video game backlog. I finally finished Grand Theft Auto 4 after 2 1/2 years of working on the game. I also went to Florida last month and went to Busch Gardens Tampa and all 4 WDW parks which was a nice coaster break right in the middle of the offseason.

Trevannosaurus Rex Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 It's pretty much always off season here. With the exception of one excellent coaster, I've got to fly some where, which is normally fairly expensive. I miss being close to theme parks.
