Title: Anyone else as bored as we are???
Post by: coastermom on November 19, 2006, 07:27:24 PM
We spent many a weekend or weekday at the park and are now BORED to death on the weekends. we are not winter people, WE don't like the snow or the cold. We don't really do many sports with our girls and our son at 5 is a little young for some sports. I can't wait for the 2007 season . We are going to MB in April and will have to look at the site for the HRP but that isn't going to open till 08. Can't wait !!

The Cowboys are keeping me going this offseason.  If I didn't have that, I guess school would keep me busy, lol.

Planning trips for next summer, watching coaster videos, and going to California or Florida keep me occupied in the winter (amusement park wise) I also just work tons of extra hours/days and get re-aquainted with my "non-park" friends.

Well for me its snowboarding, baseball training, school and watching the Giants that get me through the winter.

Also the fact I will be in Florida for February break always helps too.

I was thinking of Florida, but the more I think about it, the more the Matterhorn keeps calling my name....
Title: Re: Anyone else as bored as we are???
Post by: Robert T Ackerman on November 21, 2006, 01:44:09 AM
Matterhorn sounds great... DL in general sounds great, but I've been there the last 3 years and haven't been to Florida in 4. It's a must for me at this point.

Going to FLA this summer with friends . Can't wait till April we are off to Myrtle Beach . Here is a question is SF in maryland open that early? I guess we could stop there on the way home or the way down. We havent really stayed there for any amount of time besides to go on superman the ride but I would love to try roar .

Anyone get the Wii or PS3 ?

SFA is an OK park, I don't know if they will be open that early though... Roar and Wild One are definatly good rides, Wild One being th better of the 2 with awesome airtime in the front 3 rows!


I wish I had pre-ordered 3 or 4 PS3's... I have a friend that got 4 of them and sold each one for 2,300!!! I'm such an idiot!

Good ol' chuck.... always money money money - he bailed on HHN because of that crap... geez, always money... who needs that crap.... LOL

Chuck, Just go!!  thats what Visa and Mastercard are for!

crap, um, just kidding Chuck...be responsible and don't get into any more debt.  Don't listen to me...  Dueling Dragons and Mummy will be there for years to come.  As will Everest ;

I say we all take a road trip to MM this winter.  One of the best parts about my job as a flight attendant is that I end up in different cities for work and usually have some time off to explore.  I have made many trips to MM on my layovers in LA and am really itching to get back soon and ride some coasters.

I just got Madden 07 for XBox360. Its unbelievable..

It is pretty fly.  I was playing that Saturday and Sunday too.  My cousin Robbie was the PS2 champ after our overtime battle that was almost lost to him by a poorly timed turnover, and lost by me due to an even more poorly timed turnover.  I was the XBOX 360 champion, beating my cousin Eric on his home system, and being undefeated overall.  When we all get together it makes for great games.

The only games i can play with any reasonable degree of sucsess is Midnite club 3 and Burnout revenge. After that i'm a lost cause. I would like to try some shooter games but i'm afraid i won't be able to handle the complexity.

I have yet to complete the series by buying Madden 07 for Wii. Kind of sad that the Wii version of Madden got better reviews then any of the others....

I have spent countless hours on Zelda already but now I have to restart because of issues with my Wii and yeah I dont feel like explaining it. But anyways, if you dont have a Wii, go get one! Make sure to pick up an extra Wiimote to play WiiSports with a buddy!
