^AHHH that sounds really good, sign me up too! I love El Toro

You look through all the posts in this thread so you can reread the one that says, "you get back from a 6 week coaster trip, and the first thing you do is start planning the next one ... and the one after that."

You might be a coaster nerd if you think of launch coasters when Walmart's rollback commercials come on.

Or, you discovered the Pac Man thing from TPR's Facebook, so you immediatly search pretty much every major park in America to play it on.

I'd call that proper/smart planning, more than anything.

You check TPR's Facebook before you even look at your notifications (Guilty of this everytime I log on to Facebook).

if when your parents are planning a holiday and you suggest a destination they ask: " Why? Are there theme parks nearby?"

If you have station music set as your ringtone. (Very guilty of that)

 

I've had the Millennium Force theme song as my ringtone for years.

 

When you have to drive a long distance and you make a pit stop at an amusement park just because you can (Driving I-5 and stopping at Magic Mountain just to ride X2 and then leave).

 

Last summer when my buddy and I were driving from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, we drove past Buffalo Bill's, but my friend was tired and didn't want to stop to ride Desperado. I died a little bit inside.

...if after downloading GTA V, you immediately go to their version of the Santa Monica Pier to ride the coaster.

Yep. Got Wicked Twister's station song as my ringtone (The Winner by The Crystal Method). It's a sick song, too!

[canadianparkfan]

While watching the Boston Marathon earlier today, you couldn't stop thinking about Wicked Cyclone/SFNE.

...when you hurt your back, your first concern is "When can I ride coasters again?"

[nswain1110]

...If you've ever been in a conversation about car makes and referred to BMW as B&M. I've done that several times...

...whenever you fly, you always get a window seat so you can try to find amusement parks from the air.

[adamico2]

...when someone says Engineering Reliability Test and all you can think of is Exclusive Ride Time.
