You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....

[cal1br3tto]

If it took you less than 3 seconds to "find" it.

^That's Wild Mouse at Hershey Park

You might be a coaster nerd if you go to the mall and think "I think they could fit a custom Tivoli in here."

[yay101]

^ You know you're a coaster nerd when you think about installing a Euro Fighter in you high school football stadium! Haha

You Might Be a Coaster Nerd If............

If you think 98 percent of Vekomas and TOGOs where designed by Satan himself.

If you think every park needs at least 1 RMC and a Mega-Lite

If you start the "R-M-C" chant after riding a particularly rough wooden coaster

If you got that last joke

If great coasters have a degree of reverence attached to them

[yay101]

You know you're a coaster nerd if you acknowledge the fact that Cedar Point's Blue Streak 1.) exists in general, and 2.) consider it to be a great ride!

[dropzonefan]

If you scream out the height of a ride at the top of the lift hill/drop (guilty)

[willthegolfer]

You know you're a coaster nerd when you shout on-ride commentary going through each of the elements. "We're coming in to the immelman now!"

[Subject_12]

If you don't actually kill your peeps in RCT3.

[djboss302]

If you don't actually kill your peeps in RCT3.

 

This. Except for all the RCT games.

 

If the first the place you work at has to be a theme park. If you dreamed for a long time about becoming rich and using the money to start a theme park.

Guilty

You might be a coater nerd if you instruct your friends on the proper form of the Vekoma Brace Position

[rcjp]

^I was also thinking about that.

You might be a coaster nerd if you look at any sort of terrain elevation and think: Well, I could fit a nice terrain coaster here.

[Subject_12]

^Guilty.

[mrlego611]

You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If.... you can tell the manufacturer of a roller coaster just by looking at the track.

[dropzonefan]

^Guilty

 

Also,

 

if you are a member of this site

 

If you can tell that a ride in a tv as for one spark is actually at another

[Pyrozooka0]

You might be a coater nerd if you instruct your friends on the proper form of the Vekoma Brace Position

 

I happen to be aware of more than 1 form, and personally invented #999

 

If you have an opinion on commentary on POVS (I have no problem with it)

If you have a favorite manufacturer

If you are aware that good Vekomas exist, and use them as evidence the bad ones shouldn't hurt so badly

If you think the SLC would be a great way to interrogate criminals ("please, not the Mind Eraser again, I'll tell you where the body is!")

If you thought "yeah, but a TOGO stand up would work better" in response to that last one

If you have debated the merits of floater airtime ala B&M Hyper vs ejector air ala RMC/Intamin

[dropzonefan]

If you know where the one good TOGO stand up is, with awesome ejector air that doesn't hurt your gonads... Hint, it's located somewhere in Canada.

^ SkyRider at CW, I am now offically a coaster nerd!!

[Angle O. Descent]

You might be a coaster nerd if you can explain X2 to someone without confusing the living crap out of them.

That's a fantastic idea! How did that never occur to me???

[djboss302]

If you think the Hades 360 would be a great way to interrogate criminals ("please, not the Hades 360 again, I'll tell you where the body is!")

 

Fixed.

[willthegolfer]

This is sort of going off a previous post but, You know you're a coaster nerd if you look at any large plot of land and think "I could fit a nice Intamin Mega-Lite in here."

[SFOGdude25]

If while you're watching a POV video, you pretend you're feeling the ride's g forces and moving your head/body the way you would on the ride.

[dropzonefan]

^Lol. Not guilty, but can totally understand why someone would do it. Some expertly filmed POVs, such as the ones here on TPR, can really make you feel like you're there on the ride.

[Hockeydad]

You have a dvd folder especially for your TPR Coaster Expedition discs...complete with stickers on the outside that say phrases like, "Pound it!", "Smooth as a babies bottom" and "Welcome to Ghetto Disney".
