Stupid offseason

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.
Postby sfgam05 on December 28th, 2005, 5:05 pm
The off season has gotten to me, especially when I look at pics of RB or GD. I am definately gonna go on Vu in 06, I know there are others like me that are eagerly awaiting Gam to open, hopefully with something new, add your frustrations here.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.

I am not frustrated, I have other things to worry about than SFGAm.

I can't wait till my field trip in the spring on the second to last day of school. We are going to SFGAM. It will be the earliest in the year that I've ever been to SFGAM.

I try not to think about it. No offense to anyone, but most people have lives other than loving coasters. If your really can't take it, find something else to do.

My Mom was talking about going and she said she has to see what Spring/Summer Brings.

If you have to get some riding in during the offseason but don't want to shell out big bucks to visit Florida or So Cal, try taking a drive up to Mall of America in Minnesota and visit Camp Snoopy.

$24 gets you an all day riding wristband and they have some decent rides.

Timberland Twister is the best mouse coaster I have ever ridden. This thing is insane the way it spins along with having banked turns.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

I'm not too bothered, but a part of me wants to go on those rides again, I got plenty of other things to worry about also, its not like im counting the days, minutes and seconds til it opens.
I'm running to Bull on opening day, anyone gets in my way and they'll get trampled.

That is a good idea, also, by the next offseason, you could head to the new indoor amusement park at Mt. Olympus.

Now it's sort of gotten to me after watching the BTR video on this site for the first time. Made me think of how many times I experienced walk-ons and re-rides on it.

Luckily I'm making 2 or 3 trips during the winter months, which should help.
1. Voyage
2. X
3. Millenium Force
4. Top Thrill Dragster
5. Raging Bull

'05 Bull: 113
'06 Bull: lost count but not a lot

now that it's the new year, i'm pretty okay with it not being the offseason. I was able to get my season pass and not freak out about missing coasters either. The offsesaon is a great time to relax and do the other things we like to do. We need a break from coasters every once in awhile, and the ones who don't want a break can take trips to parks on the west or in the south that stay open year round. I'm fine with it now.

^Yeah, you pretty much got it.

There is a lot of things I didn't get to do over the Summer because I was always "LIEK OMG SFGAM." But now that I have a tournament coming up at U of I, coasters are pretty much centered around the Summer months now.

So quit your whining and find something else to do.
