... when you wait in line, it's not for a coaster, but for a specific seat. "Car 3, row 1, left seat". (Yes, because the side does matter, too. And the middle of the train should not be forgotten, the airtimes might be weaker, but are longer! So are the hangtimes.)

You might be a coaster nerd if you like sitting in the back seat of a car going down the highway and having your window down all the way so the wind is like the wind from a roller coaster...

OR.. if you wrote a 4 page college paper about things you value and they're all related to your home park.. (guilty of this- got a perfect paper)

...you get funny looks for taking pictures of certain things on a coaster (lift hill chain, brakes, etc.)

...you know the names of ride ops on certain rides at your local park and they know you.

You see a cell tower and automatically wish it was a drop tower. You see rails and wish they were tracks for a coaster.

 

I am totally guilty of this.

 

You know you're a roller coaster nerd when you compare the height of ANYTHING to the height of a roller coaster.

 

"Dad, how tall do you think that mountain is?"

 

"Umm...I'd say about 1200 feet."

 

"What? So you're saying Top Thrill Dragster is only a third of that?" *shocked*

True.

^I also try to find buildings that (given the number of floors) are more or less the same height as certain coasters to tell other people.

If what bothers you the most about not being able to use your PC (due to technical issues) for some time is not coming to TPR.

If when a decent sized area in your home town by the river is being cleared (and you don't know why) you wonder how a small park would look like there. If you actually stop nearby to see how you would display the rides.
