Off Season

Besides working- what is everybody doing to help

make the off season go faster?

Shooting billiards with my buddies. My girlfriend has got me addicted to the game again. I'm also considering going to a park opened during my spring break in March. I know I'll be going through withdrawal before spring break; I won't make it to May 12th! (haha)

I understand about not making it till may 12th. With

my maxx pass, i will start the season at kings island

on april 21 & 22. I will spend a-lot of time on this

website and making hotel reservations for next season. Hurry april.

Well, this off season, I'm building a model of Dragster. My little "project 2007"

I also find NoLimits coaster simulation to be helpful.

I go to this website every day, and when I'm really bored I go and watch a Magnum POV or something. :P

NO WAY..ME TOO!!!

I have also watched "World Largest Amusement Park" and the "Roller Coaster's of CEdar Point" DVD once already. It's what keeps me going in the off season.

How many more days before May 12th? How come we don't have a count down clock going?

Well, I tend to get a bit crazy during the off season. I do wierd things such as work, hang out with my friends, and watch TV. Sometimes I even go outside and enjoy the weather.

Go to school, work, hangout with friends.....you know, the normal. And when I have nothing to do, I'll put some time in making a scale Maverick model......because making a model when I have nothing to do is.....all I CAN do.;)

Live a normal life!!!!!

Please define "normal life", last time I checked there is no such thing. :)

I'll be doing the same thing I do when the park is open on most days, except I will spend more time on the weekends shooting.

Other than that, nothing changes. I might spend a little more time at the gym, but that's not because of the off season so much as it being cold outside and what better to stay warm than exercise?

Alpine skiing. This winter will be my 41st season on skis and I love it as much as any roller coaster.

Ski resorts are somewhat like winter time amusement parks, plus there is plenty of night life after the ski lifts close (skiers party like boaters).

Dragster IS my "normal life".;)

Well, that certainly explains a lot.

I won't be doing much different. I only get to the park a couple times a year, so "offseason" isn't really that big of a deal.

^I'd hope so, I have a title to protect.:)

Well go to school, try to find a full-time job somewhere, hang out with friends is what I'm doing these days. I'm not un-employed, I work in a grocery store called Giant Eagle in Ohio. I'm not sure if you guys from Michigan have heard of them or not. Also during the off-season I enjoy spending more time on my art projects. I draw, and I paint. I do more painting then drawing.

I just go to school every day and then come home to check this website real quick to see if you guys are talkin' about anything interesting to me. Then I start homework and watch hockey if its on. When I'm not doing all that crap, I try to work on a tooth pick model coaster that I designed myself. You can see pictures of it on my Myspace http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=63972285

Your model looks great, it'll be very impressive when you are done!

Senior Year is making it go by fast plus hockey season.

I have finally hit 100 posts!
