Ok I'm sure like me a lot of our New Years goals is to loose weight. I would love some suggestions on how to make cardio in the gym more fun. I'm going to need it if I'm doing it for an hour 5 days a week. My current twists are Tabatas and using the step up to do movement drills. I also sometimes will use ladders. These are all awesome ways to change up your cardio. I was thinking that battle ropes might be a good idea as well

You might get some useful info from yesterday's post on the same topic:

Learn how to shuffle. It's a good cardio workout, plus, you get to learn how to dance!
I just daydream.
look for a mens basketball league
edit: or a womens basketball league if youre a woman.
I prefer to be outside, regardless of weather, over gym cardio; seem to never get bored that way. Other than that, podcasts and videos are great for steady state cardio. Or... lift more, reduce calories, and skip some of those projected 5 hours.

Podcasts!
There are so many great podcasts, loads for whatever your interest is. Keeps your mind busy while you do the same with your body.
Sled push, Wheel flips, sprints, battle ropes, box jumps, farmer's walk, yolk.
Kettlebells have been awesome for my cardio work. You can mix things up and get a phenomenal workout. Couple examples:
2 minutes of skipping followed by 1 min kettlebell swings
x 5-10 rounds
or one I use from Tactical Barbell 2:
10 kettlebell swings
10 burpees
60 seconds rest
x 5-10 rounds
