I was just wondering, if you can't ride any coasters how do you feed the rush you get every once and a while?

Talon is going to rock, roll, and take its toll!
Roller Coaster Tycoon helps every now and then, but that gets old after a while. Other than that I go to park websites and download video clips of there rides.

What is life without ups and downs!?!?
Do you mean the urge? If so, I go sledding and build models, along with the things Josh the Coaster Freak mentioned.

I went to the Carnegie Science Center's coaster exibit, and rode two sims and a bike through a vertical loop.
EXTREME RIDING!!!

Wish that I lived in Florida or California at this time.

"DONT FIGHT IT, RIDE IT",,,,RAGING BULL
If travel isn't in the very near future, I have a nice video collection of every thrill ride show taped, plus a nice collection of pov's on my computer. AND if that doesn't help, I have albums upon albums of photo's I have taken from all of my travels.

I do one of the 10 million other things I'm interested in.
Well, since I live in California I can pretty much go down south every once in awhile or go to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk on the weekends they are open, like this weekend. Other than that, when I can't coast, I normally watch my coaster videos, watch DVD's, or play RCT, which is what I normally do anyways. ;) Peace. :)
I drive a mile over to Knotts and... :)

Say no, to lap bar nazis!
Believe it or not, but sometimes I spin on my computer chair. If I get it going fast enough, and I turn my head slowly, I get that "losing the stomach" feeling I get when I ride Power Tower. :)

Living in Chicago, the off season is pretty hard, so during this part of the season I find a really good website with Great pics of different parks and coasters and do my coaster riding online...

"4 Seats are better than 2"
While I am lucky to be living in Florida, I don't often have the time to drive 3 1/2 hours to Orlando or Tampa, so, while it's not much, I satisfy my cravings with the Dania Beach Hurricane.

I'd Rather Be Riding Rollercoasters
Good idea CPgenius! I think I'll try that to get away from my boredom.
What do I do to relieve the urge?? Play games on my palm pilot, go to school, do hw, sleep, ski, watch Michigan lose to Illinois, 80-51, and live an otherwise boring life.
