Then my buddy took me to Cedar Point, and I was resurrected/reborn as a coaster enthsiast nerd! Good god Cedar Point's coasters, although massively overrated are pure fun. All of em. I was having so much fun on magnum, MF, WT, Raptor (with numerous rerides) and even MS, corkscrew, and the "lesser" coasters. It does deserve #1 park.
This place is an enthusiasts mecca, and it made me love "them" again.

I've been thinking to myself...whats the point of going up and down and around and around at high speeds? A few months ago it suddenly hit me. I went to sfdl and I still like them but not as much, and I'm not as obsessed as I used to be. I can't wait for my CP trip because I think it will make my coaster love "prosper and cherish" once again. I am just tired of the same coasters thats all. I can't wait for dragster...I hope its open!

Before this entire thread derails, I'll say that my interest in parks and coasters doesn't really fluctuate too much. However, my visitation of the parks has changed greatly. I used to be a season pass holder, but with the limited time I have available, I now try to visit other parks I haven't been to in a long time or ever (HW, BGW, IB). I think this actually makes me more interested in the industry - enjoying many different parks occasionally rather than one or two frequently.

I was in the same type of struggle last year, and one visit to IB changed my tune, however, this year, I can't make it to IB and my visit to SFMW was on a crummy day, I need something out of the ordinary, otherwise everything is kind bleh.
I remember back in the day when I would visit SFGAm once a year, twice tops, and the night before I would toss and turn the whole night because I was so excited. Now it's like any other night and I even sleep in in the morning so I don't get there until 11 sometimes. "What is the world coming to?," I think to myself, but then I think, in 2 years, when I finally turn 18, just two summers away, I'm going to hit so many new parks my head will spin, heck, I'll fly to Memphis and even go to Libertyland. I've already begun saving for that summer and I think I'll be blowing a load of cash, now, how am I gonna pay for college?

Warning: I do not think like the average person. My remarks have plenty of thought behind them. Take it for what it's worth, if you disagree, please, feel free to express it, but don't put me down because of it.

Looks like somebody didn't grow up in Big 10 football country...
Then again, if you grew up during the 80s, you might not know them as Ohio State anyway--but the name 'Ann Arbor Choke Specialists' might ring a bell.

See I would do the same thing, but theres this thing called money. It's exchanged for goods and services. -Or so I hear. Us creatures called "university students" don't have this; nor have access to it! ;)
I really only have access to PCW, as the other parks are so damn far away -$$$

The solution is never ever to travel further, ride more, bigger, faster rides. That will almost always end in anticipointment.
Another idea: Get another hobby. Spend sometime doing something that isn't coaster related and keep your mind on something that isn't a coaster.
