You count a Lift Hill as foreplay

If your friends who are not coaster enthusiasts know more about the coasters than an average coaster enthusiast.

-First thing you do to your dorm is put up the Cedar Point Souvenir Map on your wall, not caring what your roommate what you have never met says (guilty)

-If you are on a first date and you ask if they like coasters and if they say no, you immediately grab the nearest waiter and ask for the bill

-You cry for days when you realize your favorite coaster shirt has a hole in it, but then realize it just became vintage

-When applying for college the first thing you consider is which park is closest and if the school is worth going to for the park

-You know the entire lay out of a coaster before it opens, so when you are on it opening day you know everything about it, from lift hill speed to where the maximum G's are at

-You get clinically depressed when you show up to a park and realize your favorite coaster is shut down with a broken lift hill motor and will open the next day

-You are known by everyone as "That roller coaster guy"

-If someone calls a B&M invert a suspended coaster you get extremely upset and correct them instantly

-You call someone an idiot for not liking coasters

-You marathon a coaster, in hopes of getting most rides in a day on it

-You hear the letters B&M and instantly are in the conversation

-Call your friend a moron because they say "The Boomerang" is a great coaster

-Correct people on the name of coasters when they say "The" before the name of a coaster

-Get phone calls asking if SFMM is really closing down from people you have not talked to in years because they know you will know

-Compare everything to a roller coaster, especially a relationship

-You remember the exact day and time you rode your favorite coaster

-Hate the roller coaster shows that rate the top ten steel coasters because it isn't your personal top ten

 

I am just gonna stop there.

-while sitting on the toilet you read old park maps to pass the time.

It thoroughly angers you when people have 'coaster accidents' that you know did not happen. You then just about grab your notebook to smash them on the head.

 

True story!

 

"The car my cousin was in fell off the track, the wheels weren't on it, she was so scared!! That's why it was closed for a week!"

 

"It got new brakes, that didn't happen. It would be closed down if it did. It's had one accident and it was a terrible one, but that was long ago and it's now one of the safest roller coasters in the world!"

 

"Oh my god, you're so stupid, you don't know anything about rides. Stuff like this happens all the time!"

You might be a coaster fanatic if...........

 

You randomly, in the middle of your Social Studies techer's lesson, just start counting how many SLCs Six Flags owns and what parks there in.

Great thread. I feel so normal all of the sudden.

 

.... when all you want for your birthday is $$$ for coaster trips

 

.... when you brag that you were born on National Roller Coaster Day

 

.... when you get tired of having to explain how much safer roller coasters are than flying, driving, crossing the street, eating, etc.

 

.... when you actually know when National Roller Day is (8/16)

 

.... when you play back commercials and tv shows that feature theme parks and coasters so that you can ID them (it's usually the Santa Monica Pier!)

 

.... when you look at skyscrapers and compare their height to a hyper/giga/strata coaster

 

.... when you meet someone, ask them where they grew up, think of the closest park to their hometown, and immediately ask their experience at their home park.

 

.... if you've ever marked the parks you've visited on a map of the u.s./world.
