You know you're a coaster nerd if your entire calculus project which encompasses the entire school year is entirely related to roller coasters.

 

You know you're a coaster nerd if you stare at your speedometer, figure out what speed you're going, and try to think of a roller coaster that has that as a max speed.

 

You know you're a coaster nerd if you scream "TWISTY" any time you go through a twisting inversion or a fast banking transition.

If you plan trips 2-3-4 Years in Advance:

 

Per Example

 

2014- San Antonio, And 7-8 Days around the East Coaster

2015- Europe (Either Spain, Germany, Or Netherlands depending on Prices)

2016- Trip in the South for maybe 7 Days

2017- Europe (1 Of the countries I did not visit in 2015)

 

And that's the Plan. Europe Every other year.

You know you're a coaster nerd when you're at a high school football game and you think, "I think a Gerstlauer Eurofighter would fit perfectly here..."

 

This! My family and I went sledding in the snow last Winter, and while sitting at the top of the hill, I looked at the little grass field in front of me and said "A nice little GCI would fit perfectly in here!"

If you enjoy driving on hilly roads due to the chance for (actually noticed some on one road the other day)

If you have ever wondered how long your ass has to be out of the seat for it to count as airtime

If you have ever hugged a coaster support (thought of doing this to Goliath at SFOG once, but didn't. will next visit though!)

If you yell "ASSUME THE POSITION!" when the flying coaster you are on is going into flight mode

If you actually thought that last one was funny

If you have ever yelled "YOU'VE TESTED IT ENOUGH, LET ME ON!" while waiting for a ride to reopen

If you cringe at the sight of a TOGO or Vekoma (fliers and rides without OTSRs exempted from the latter)

If you have ever tried to sneak into a tour group (on the off chance you have seen one)

If your favorite 3 letter combination is "ERT"

If you feel retarded when you get coaster stats wrong

If, even after hearing nothing but bad things about a coaster, you still ride it to get the credit
