You Know It's The Off Season When:

You're craving a Coaster Classic.

When I was a kid I was craving coasters during the winter so I got into a clothes basket placed at the edge of the basement steps. Had my sister push me. Luckily I didn't hurt myself.


2008 visits = 38, 2009 = 19, 2010 = 11, 2011 = 14, 2012 = 10, 2013 = 14, 2014 = 14, 2015= 13, 2016 = 11, 2017 = 5, 2018 = 3

It's way too soon for this kind of talk. The park has only been closed for three weeks! ;)

Thank goodness SFoT opens back up this weekend. It's been a whole month without coasters.

You have to go to the grocery store, find the longest cashier line to wait in, then hop on the belt for a ride :)

You know it's the offseason when a "you know it's the offseason when" topic appears. ;)

You know it's the off season when you seek out bridges with uneven pavement to drive over for that ever so brief nanosecond of airtime.

...this thread/topic is found here on PointBuzz, on CP Rundown's Facebook, and on KIC.

An enthusiast's off season is definitely one of a kind. :)

You stop reading most threads here because they're all arguing

You read the article about "Winter isn't a slow time at Cedar Point" and see that one guy just sitting on the milk crate doing nothing.

I wonder if he is related to the famous "Whizzer" from off-seasons in the past that was caught on the webcam by Dragster relieving himself.

I thought that at first too...but in all fairness he has his right hand up inside the ride car and it looks like he is unscrewing a bolt or something. I do agree there doesn't seem to be much urgency in what he is doing.


Cedar Point guest since 1974

The guy caught on the webcam was an electrical contractor. Not a Cedar Point employee.

That guy in the video is definitely unscrewing something or working on some part under the carriage. Or he's just giving the carriage a "monster prostate exam".........ehhh, ehhh?

I thought that was funny Adam. Anyway, You know it's the off-season When you have dreams of Cedar Point. I won't talk about it in this thread since there is already one made. As everyone knows with me, I'm big on dreaming up dreams of Cedar Point.

Actually, I have only had one dream involving Shoot the Rapids. By the way, I know I annoyed everyone about that and I'm trying to correct myself for the future.

It wasn't annoying per say, it was just reviving zombie threads and posting when there wasn't an update was all.

Also, here's my contribution to this thread: Looking on this forum during Turkey Day...

Ah well, I have Christmas Ale to go enjoy now

It may seem that way but, it's after 11 p.m. and there's supposedly 36 people online here but only two people have posted. What's up with that? I don't want to hear any crying about this forum being dead in the winter. Everybody's looking but nobody's talking. I know I don't always have anything to say and sometimes when I do I'm just making conversation for fun but 36 people???
