Ok, we have made it through most of the off season. Park gates swing open again in less than a month! What are your plans for 2013? I plan to be there opening day(tentative plans at this point), with a camera in hand. After breakfast and rope drop, I'm heading right to the pizza restaurant for a few photos and then to Outlaw Run to check it out. Then, a good, general cruise around SDC to see what is new for this year, or what has been changed in some way. How about you? When do you plan on going for the first time this year, and what are you excited about seeing/experiencing?
We needed a new thread for this?

Junior can start all the threads he wants.
Just not seeing why this wasn't 2013 Meetup thread material.
Just saying

Perhaps because Junior's post wasn't about a meetup. And if you don't like a thread, you're not obligated to participate.

We shall be at the park for opening on Sunday, the 24th of March. Main objective, ride Outlaw Run!! It may be our only trip to SDC this year, so the rest of the day will be spent absorbing it all in. Happy trails.. ;D

Lor' willin' an' the crick don' rise, the Missus an' me'll be there for Opening Day 9and the next day, too!)--the first time ever. No plans at all in conjunction with Outlaw Run. I have no interest in it at all. The 12th is our anniversary, and we had our honeymoon at SDC (but in May because of school), so we figure it's a good way to celebrate.
Is Homestay open that early?
I'm about *this* close to losing it!
Opening day can't be here soon enough!!
Just Think, Leads and PIC's go back in 10 days!!! ;D :D
Such an exciting time!!! :) LOOOOOOVEEE IIIIIITTT! I get Leads but what is a PIC? Besides Partner in Crime?
Personality In Charge???
Positions in Charge...?
I worked through college on a seasonal job, and LOVED the time off in the winter, we would close up from late Nov. and reopen in Mar. We worked all spring / summer/ fall, 40 hrs a week, and being a college kid, and being accustomed to summers off from high school, I was glad to have the time in winter off. I one year used that time off to work a swing shift/ early morning 2-10 or 4-12 shift unloading trucks and sticking shelves at a Target. I am sure the people are all ready to get back at it as much as we are to get back out there!
OKAY! I don't know what either of them are - leads and pics???
Lead- head ride op. one per ride. Ex: Josh is the lead for steam train
PIC- Person In Charge- acts as lead when lead is not there
Leads have certain duties such as ensuring that all protocall is followed, paperwork is correctly filled out, and schedules are made to be checked by area supervisor.
Thanks, Cocodane, that makes perfect sense now.

With apologies
WOW!! Okie!
that's not even close to being right.!!! ;D
So today and tomorrow they are doing interviews for open positions. I wonder how the weather affected the turnout? Did everyone keep appointments or will they be able to reschedule?
I think I'm having withdrawals... I made an SDC theme on my computer so every 5 minutes it's a different picture of our beloved City as my wallpaper/background. I can't wait til I get to take more pictures to add to the theme!
Tiff, dont worry about that, every 5 minutes is perfectly normal :D
Now then, if it was changing every 10-15 seconds, THAT would be withdrawl..!!!
21 days/ more or less to go.
There is 18 days till opening day.....it seems like yesterday it was the final day and the city was fixin to be closed. Yall who will be there take lots o pictures. :)
yes, wont be long now,,,, I am very anxious to see the new Crossroad Pizza!!! I was their the last day of the season, I know how much had "not" yet been done... and if it is complete and ready??!!! that will be amazing to me..

didnt mean to "hurt" your feelings.... :) :) :) :)
That was a GREAT video....... >:( >:( >:(
yeah.... right :P
But back on topic. My sweet wife has an appointment with a nuerosurgeon on the 4th, so I have no idea when we are going to get to go. All depends on what the doctor says. It's looking like another neck surgery. :( I hope she gets to feeling better soon.
i hope we get to use my season pass this year...
Prayers offered for her and your family.
