tete75 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Well I live in California so I still have options as far as theme parks during the off season. I go to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom for their Holiday In The Park and may take a trip or two down to Disneyland. But once I do that I usually do all the Christmas activities in the Bay Area and my usual shopping,Yelping,exploring and crossing things off my bucket list until March/April rolls back around.

Not if you don't like huge volumes of people with no sense of personal space and paying £8 for a hot dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoot12 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I usually go into sports mode-- namely NFL and college basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsMe Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 We've got a really nice Blu-ray collection. That will keep me occupied. Also Efteling is nearby and open as are Disneyland Paris and Europa Park. I won't be bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nrthwnd Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hey it's simple for me. You guys, who have parks still open, are my Off-Season Survival Thread. I look forward to all about all of the parks that are open in and through the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiftThrill Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'll make sure to post some photo TRs from SFFT's HitP and ZDT's (might do SWSA for the first time too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomPoster32 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's not even mid-November yet. Lots of time before the "off season" hits in Missouri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesomefaceninja7 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 It's not even mid-November yet. Lots of time before the "off season" hits in Missouri The park near to me closes today, but it re-opens in December before closing again for two or three months in January. Another park is open 364 days, so there are two parks open past December for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCI Wooden Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I do go to parks less in the Winter, because I only get a season pass for Valleyfair, which closes. I do try and get to Nickelodeon a couple times during the Winter to get on some coasters, and I also try and get to the alpine coaster in Duluth in the winter. Contrary to popular belief, the off-season isn't too bad here in Minnesota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCT3Bross Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 I have the Efteling wich is open year round so I have that going for me wich is nice. For the rest my Off-Season is usually is filled watching construction picturers off the coasters for the next season, and with the new Star Wars movie coming up I picked up my old hobby of getting some nice Lego Star Wars sets to display. Also the old sets get some cleaning work and since I plan to do this every year from now on I kind off have more then a month killed in the off season. As for the other time I reflect on last year and look at the next year wich I usually do in December and January so that's another 2 months down. That leaves 2 months a year that are very slow, I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Given the fact that I had a job relocation offer in Tampa pulled out from under me after I had accepted (this job site would have been less than 4 miles from BGT), I'm going to go with... 'Lots Of Random Binge Drinking' for $2000, Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 ^ Wow, $2000? Binge drinking champagne? For me, although the off-season hasn't started yet (SDC is open through the end of the year), winter is mostly video games. Now that Telltale's Game of Game of Thrones has released all the episodes, I'm starting on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 ^ You'd be amazed at the price of Crown Royal around here! I'm amazed at the prices of almost everything, really. The Ozarks has one of the cheapest cost of living in North America, which is nice but has the unfortunate side effect of making travel very expensive. When we went to Chicago last year, gas was fully $1 more per gallon than at home. To give you an idea, I can buy groceries for a family of 5 for $75 a week. That's basically how we attract businesses; we're all willing to work for pretty cheap. You can own a home, two cars, raise a family, and take an annual vacation on about $15 an hour here.

VF15 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Outdoor coaster season has come to an end for me . Fortunately, I did buy an annual pass to Nick Universe for the first time since they lowered the price, which should make this winter much more tolerable than in the past. Even with the NU pass, college and some of my other hobbies will be taking precedence over roller coasters. Will be spending a lot of time studying the weather, going to the movies a few times a month, and watching lots of hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love for this Meadowlands "American Dream" project to actually be completed sometime before we die of old age so we could have one too, completely ending the coaster "off-season" in the northeast. Luckily until that happens, Six Flags Great Adventure has done it's part to alleviate the crapiness of the off-season by running 4 B&M's, an indoor Intamin, a wild mouse and an S&S Free Spin until the beginning of January.
