Off-season question

What is, in your opinion, the best thing about the off-season?

---------------------------------------
TTD 2003: 32
TTD 2004: 0
TTD Total: 32
Rollbacks: 0

No Muffleheads......

The break period away from it all and the park is quiet..

------------------
Park Services 98'
Snake River 99'00'
Peanuts ATL 01'
GW/SS/Schwab TL 02'
Kiddy Kingdom TL 03'

Planning out trips for the next season.

------------------
'96 Merchandise Raptor Cart... '97 Zone 1 Sweep Crew / Disaster Transport Crew... '98 Iron Dragon Crew / Zone 1 Sweep Crew... '02 White Water Landing Crew... '03 White Water Landing TL...

Watching the new rides be built on the webcams. Obviously this year there's nothing to watch so I would say the the few minutes before the park officially opens for the new season.

Two best speils before launching:
Keep Arms Down, Head Back, and Hold On!!
Clear, Launching in 3...2...1 :)

All of the thoughtful and entertaining threads that pop up on GTTP this time of year.

I know for employees their favorite thing about the offseason is reconnecting with their families.

I think the best thing about the off season is those nifty little "contests" that are held here on GTTP where a series of questions is asked and you either have to give the most popular answer or the least popular answer. I'm not sure who usually does them but I always get a bang out of putting my entry in.

Offseason? What offseason? *cries* I just want the horrible pain to end already!! April 1st needs to get here so I can process in! Definatly the best thing about the off season is the anticipation of the next, what'll be better, new, hot, etc... Well, at least that's my two cents :).

------------------
2003 - Mean Streak
2004 - Waiting for my contract...

The best thing? The end of it, of course.

I have to agree with you Shorty! The other thing is you cann't catch my roll back count! :)

------------------
MF Circuts=556(03=240)
TTD Launches=50
TTD Rollbacks=6

Yeah, but Shorty rode more than you. Rollbacks are better bragging material, though. I want a rollback!

I should start my own off-season contest...

I WANT A ROLLBACK!!! WAHHH!!!

Honestly, the thing I like about the off-season, is it gives my wallet a rest... then it can pad up for the next season... ya know, food, and the occasional picture...

I'm happy you can't catch my rollback count. But Red Garter Rob mine were just so much better. Especially when I got them that the silver tag on the platform hadn't got one yet. I'm just messing around but that morning was awsome.
