Ever been seriously jealous?

Also, my dad got to Holiday World to ride EGF while on a business trip over in Germany.

I think you mean Holiday.....Park. :wink: (Went last year myself... Not so good)

I dont get it myself with my friends at least, as they dont go to parks. but when my coaster friends go on trips if I haven't been to the park myself I get that "I wish I was going" feeling.. but its not a jealous thing. More of a "I'd rather be at ____ than at school..." (2 weeks ago my friend went to Japan and did Tobu, Nagashima, and the Disney parks.)

But on the other end of this all.. I feel some people get jealous of me. (Not so much on here cause most of you don't remember me from when I was here the first time and now that I'm back I'm not a big poster.) but on other sites... Like say the joke that is Thrillnetwork, I would get a lot of 'bash' posts when I would say a ride far away is good or a far away ride people say is good.. I say sucks, people on TN would say I only said it because I had been to the park and they had not. (kinda WTF if you think about it.... Don't ask a question if you don't want someone who has been to answer!)

Also on a non CF or TN coaster site... When coaster counts were asked and I said I just hit 500, someone had to go and say "yeah but most are kiddie rides" making me repost a big list of all the big Intamins and B&Ms I have so then it looks like I'm bragging.
 
As Hyde said, yeah of course.. I always get a bit jealous of people riding rides and myself not. But, I do live a short jog away from America's RollerCoast, so I really have nothing to complain about.
 
Sadly I do, but that's more of people having such close parks to them, where mine is over an hour away. Should be better over the summer, since I'll be working at Cedar Point.

Sometimes I get jealous of Snoo, but that's over his extreme sexiness.
 
I made Dave jealous today when I parked our boat outside the Spinaker tower (where he works) and sent him a text. :p
Sadly he left work at two so I sent him a pic instead. :D
 
Sometimes,especially if I hear of people going to certain parks that I'm desperate to get to.

But I'm soon over it.
 
Not really, and if I was to, I'd look at the list of parks I'm going to this year, and feel suddenly less jealous.

Haha, yeah, that'll cure you of being a fan of coasters all together!

:razz:
 
Ya, sometimes....
Like my bro is going to SFMM for his senior class trip. So, he gets to ride X2 before me. It doesent really matter though, because I'm visiting the park about 5 weeks after him. I might hit up KBF as well, but we'll have to see...
 
I guess that it's hard to be jealous of people who you don't really know, but there are a couple of coaster websites that I don't really go on very often because I am out of their league. When they ask where they have been or where they are going, the answer reads like a who's who of theme parks. I don't want to spend serious money or time to go "everywhere", so I have yet to go to a theme park outside of the eastern half of the United States. :cry:
 
If it comes to coaster count everyone should really be jealous of Shockwave, now he really has got a coaster count to be envious of :wink:

And maybe Snoo for living so close to Cedar Point.
 
Not at all.

I hardly go to theme parks anyway, so seeing all the trip reports and videos here really helps me to relive that experience, in a vicarious sort of way.

It's a different experience when I actually go though.
 
Like everyone else said, I've been envious, not jealous. I live in Florida so whenever my friends go to theme parks they're always in Orlando, and I've been to all of the parks down there already, so it's not a huge deal. I'm also going to go to college there in a little over a year so I'll be hitting up Universal and Disney weekly. :--D
 
This year I'm really envious of my niece and two nephews as they'll have two holidays this year and I only get one. Their trips are gonna be America visiting their cousins and Pakistan. My trip is gonna be Pakistan only for my brother's wedding :x
 
OMG YA! So my highschool's band went to Disney World for a week while the rest of us were in school. As a huge Disney fan I was calling and texting them all day and making them send me pictures and everything. They got park hoppers and only had to play music for 2 hours out of the whole trip. They all came back telliong stories and everything and that is the most insanely jealous I have ever been.
 
I get jealous when people get to go to parks and I don't, but I've been to way more parks than them so it's fine.

Plus I'll get to spend the whole summer at Cedar Point, which will be better than any trip my friends make.

I dunno, not really.

But, if I see people complain about not being able to go to a particular park, yet they've been to loads of other amazing ones, it seems a bit stupid. I mean, you've already been to bunch of awesome parks ffs. Half of us have barely stepped out of the U.K.

I never liked the "there are other people less fortunate than you so be happy with what you have" line of thought. There's no point to living life if you're just going to stop right in your tracks and just try to be content and not try to do anything else for the rest of your life. Not to say I'm a selfish heartless bastard who doesn't care, I do feel bad that non-USA countries get the coaster shaft, but life is life. It's a great feeling to travel the world and see all the new places and ride new roller coasters, and I wouldn't give that up for the world, much less some moral dude whispering in my ear that I'm a selfish ass because I want to have fun. I figure if I can see Cedar Point, Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Alton Towers at least once, I'll be satisfied anyways.
 
Haven't ever been seriously jealous. But, I was quite jealous when my little sister got to Gröna Lund maybe 2 years ago on a school trip, as well as being quite jealous to some people I know (not from here) going the TPR East Coast trip seeing as I was very close of have been able to go on it myself.
Also seeing as I can't see myself having a few thousands euros or so available in the next years when I'll go to the uni etc. meaning that I won't be able to do any big coaster trips, if any coaster trips at all.
 
I get jealous sometimes, but I get over it shortly. Although I am happy when they come back and say they had to wait in line for a long time after they brag to me that they are going.
