Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 ... You imagine yourself in the future as chief of your favourite local park and you announce a brand spanking new roller-coaster with a mega show (with light effects, fireworks, awesome concept arts...). Since the announcement of Banshee in KI (I really loved that one), I think of this all the time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrojack Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 When you buy new shorts, you make sure they have zipper cargo pockets for coaster riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 When you buy new shorts, you make sure they have zipper cargo pockets for coaster riding. Haha! Very guilty! Actually, last year before I went on a trip to a few US parks I went looking for both shorts and trousers with zipper pockets (and it was quite tricky!)

Â You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If.... ...when you hear the word "vitamin", you think of Intamin. ...you get annoyed when you bring family or friends to a park, and they want to ride a coaster that is bad or not worth it (cough...cough...The Dark Knight Coaster...cough...cough). ...you shout "Take the tunnel!" before driving through a tunnel.

richards.adam Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 You might be a coaster nerd if... You have ever played RCT2 and named a peep "Elissa White." Or an innocent stalker???

Belgiumcoasterfreak Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ... If your family keeps asking you to join them on a visit to a park that's new for them, so they have a guide... ... On each family party, there is one member of your family that keeps lauching because you visit themeparks that often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. When I went to portaventura with my friends last month they said they wanted to ride a "weaker" ride first to get them used to it, to which I answered: "NO WAY!!" (as we got to the park as soon as it opened and I wanted to make the most of the small queues). However they insisted and so I took them to furius baco as it doesn't look very intimidating from the lake area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leviathandude306 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ...If you are counting down the days till the ghetto-sketchy-@$$ carnival comes to your town, simply because you don't have coasters nearby & want an early start to the season.

rcjp Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 If you know why Griffon on Google Earth looks pretty amazing! If you haven't seen it, I would recommend. Pretty cool If whenever someone mentions a year you immediately think of a coaster than opened then. For example: 1993 - Kumba! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yay101 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^ You might be a coaster nerd if one of your goals is to ride all the roller coasters that opened the year you were born Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ^The only two coasters I've ridden that opened in the year I was born (1996) were terrible: Wildcat at Hershey and Mantis. Well, at last there's Montu but I haven't been on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khat26 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 ....you joined the Air Force and specialized in hydraulics and pnuematics just to set your self up for a roller coaster maintenace job in the future. That was 14 years ago, almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
