You might be a roller coaster fanatic if...

[Chadley]

...If you get exited that some guy named Immelmann won the Masters Tournement.

 

OMG, we were at a local mexican place the other night and the Masters were on and I saw his name come up in the standings! So he did end up winning?!

 

Here's a couple more personal ones for me...

 

- When you tell family, friends, and co-workers your vacation plans they automatically ask you what parks and coasters are around the destination.

 

- Or when their planning a trip they come to you to find out where the parks are at, or if the coasters/rides are any good at their destination.

...you venture into Fantazy Land, Egypt just to get a Kiddie Credit!

[dammie16@vt.edu]

-You get a new computer and immediatly find a coaster wallpaper before anything else

 

-you do above even though its a loaner computer you have for only 2 weeks

 

-you hear "Immelman is leading at the masters" and wish you were riding a coaster

 

-you get a new internship that pays really well and the first thing you do is search for parks to get season passes for around said internship.

... you wait 8 hours under the scariest weather at Cedar Point for Maverick to open and you think it was worth it!

[VivaLaVibora]

... you think ride ops are your friends.

... if you regard Coaster Clint, Robb Alvey, Elissa Alvey, Jeff, Gonch, and Erik Yates as celebrities.

... when you can't wait until Deja Vu breaks down just so people leave the line.

... you think you can figure a way for Deja Vu to have 2 sides in the station like Mr. Freeze.

... you know all the colors of Top Thrill Dragsters, and Maverick's trains.

... you know all the sayings on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad train's by heart.

 

... you rent or watch every movie that has a roller coaster in it during the off-season like Thrill, or National Lampoon's.

... when a perfect date would be going to an amusement park or carnival with your girlfriend, and riding rides all day.

... you can tell if Batman the Ride is running 2 trains or not. It's hard to tell because they don't usually run 2 at the same time, and usually the trains look the same.

... when you can list all the problems with RCT compared to a real park.

... when you can play RCT for 2 hours, but yet you get bored with Sonic the Hedgehog after 5 minutes.

[RIP Psyclone]

...if you make a thread like this.

[cobra_roll06]

...if you are going on holiday to Salou with your mates but all you can look forward to is Dragon Khan!

[coasterfreak11]

.....if your license plate says CDRPT

 

....if you are majoring in Theme Park and Attraction Management

 

....if your room looks like this!

My room back in Illinois.

[VivaLaVibora]

^What ride is that supposed to be if any particular ride?

[coasterfreak11]

It's a custom design. If you want to see a video of it, type in Hendrix Amusement Park on youtube.

[Android]

... When you own most of the songs with "Roller Coaster" in it's name on iTunes!

 

haha, i just looked it up, and there is 140 someodd songs!

[matteocrepaldi]

... if you don't go with your friends on a trip around Spain just because they told you that you can't go to the Worner Bros Park in Madrid.

[thrillgeek]

if u collect park maps from every park you visit

[BarryH]

...if your only pick-up line is, "Do you like roller coasters?"

 

...if you pick up a shell by the sea and you hear the sounds of a roller coaster rather than the sounds of the ocean.

 

...if your friends and co-workers say "You did what?" when you told them you rode roller coasters all day during your two-week vacation.

[funkybadger]

... if your entire stairwell is covered in laminated park maps.

 

... if you're disappointed because you didn't get a rollback on TTD

 

... if every time you take a vacation, your colleagues ask, "How many new coasters will you ride this time?" then just shake their heads at you like you're nuts!

 

... your spouse wouldn't even think of going overseas until he realized he could ride coasters there.

 

... if you've ever stood in front of an entire auditorium of colleagues explaining the key differences between steel and wooden roller coasters.

 

... if you've been stopped later by someone who was in that auditorium with comments like, "Hey, you're that roller coaster girl, aren't you?"

 

... when you know you're the only one in a city 1000 miles away from Altoona, PA with a Lakemont Park license plate cover!

[BarryH]

...you're the only one among your friends and family who can find the following places on a U.S. map:

 

Sandusky, OH

Santa Claus, IN

Althol, ID

[bgeguy]

...you sit in the back of a bus to get airtime when you hit a bump (if you're in school)

[Purplepills]

You see a photo/video with a really hot girl/guy (depending on your preference) but completely ignore them to look at the coaster in the background.

[Rct3man777]

When you try to compare the height of a really big tree to laser at dorney park (Why would someone want to do that?! I don't know...)

[Kennyweird]

If you spend an hour searching for the name of the plant in Ohio that makes B&M track. (yes, I did just that, and I found it! It's Clermont Steel Fabricators, LLC.)

[The Joker's Revenge]

...You find it quite ironic that the objective on the RCT2 SFMM scenerio is to repay a loan.

 

...You're a teenager and obey park rules and respect park authority figures.

 

...You learned that the GP's taste in rides is pretty disgusting.

 

...You are slowly but surely learning that your home park will never install the 300ft B&M/Intamin hybrid airtime machine of your dreams.

[Simon Baynham]

Hi all

 

... you view wire coathangers as basic tools of the trade.

 

... you have bent a wire coathanger into 'loops' and 'flat spins.'

 

... you believe Ronald Valentine Toomer can walk on water

 

Simon

[signal]

...you planned your trip to WDW not your parents (i was 9)

... you have to go to a theme park on every trip you take (anywhere!)

...you know where all the record breaking coasters in the world are

[WillMontu]

^^ I actually did that on the Midwest trip, being on the Arrow bus.

I still have that coathanger in that form. Maybe I'll bring it to Europe this year. Somebody even told me that I should submit the design to Arrow/S&S for their next ride!
