You Might Be A Coaster Nerd If....

[coasternate]

.....If you go run on a trail around a reservoir, thinking that it would make a great GCI wooden coaster. Seriously, though, this trail by my house has tight turns, twisty little airtime hills, steep hills going both up and down, and a double down AND a double up! Airtime!

Coasternate, if I were you I would get a bike and have some fun...

 

You may be a coaster nerd if, for fun you make lists of all the rides made by different manufacturers.

If you only own movies (TV shows) with coasters.

...when you hear the word "credit" used in any way, it makes you think of its coaster meaning.

...the ride ops on a certain ride know your name since you ride it so much.

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

[Kyle Coleman]

If you are watching a reality show on tv and you see them drive right by a rollercoaster(iron shark if you were wondering) and are seriously confused how come they didn't stop and ride it.

... When you saw a quick look at the track on a roller coaster (just the track and the train for about 4 seconds) you automatically knew it was premier track

...you're looking forward to Opening Day at your home park more than graduation.

You force members of your family to make stops at theme parks on every trip you go on.

 

You create launches in RCT3 by using "brake runs"

...when you have nothing to do in a math class, you graph parabolas on your calculator that look like airtime hills.

I was totally guilty of this.

When you force your non-coaster nerd friends to credit whore with you. I've done that several times...

[nicman]

When at all your class conversations you talk about roller coasters!

Guilty! I did this on my friend's first time at Magic Mountain, I convinced her to go on one of the kiddie coasters I hadn't been on. She didn't really get it.

 

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).

I have gotten 5 of my friends on a kiddie coaster at my home park. The sad part is that I already had the credit.

 

You may be a coaster nets if you go on kiddie coasters even after you have the credit! And this is lame even by kiddie coaster standards!

When you think the subway in your city can be "more intense"

Same here.

...when your physics instructor asks you what 'vertical velocity' is, you're tempted to respond "The Impulse Coaster at Six Flags Great America".

[Sharman19]

If you call your Christmas Vacation the Off-Season.

[Uriel Galindo]

When at all your class conversations you talk about roller coasters!

Extremely guilty at this.

[VF15]

...when you have random awakenings in the middle of the night, you check TPR on your phone before you go back to sleep.

[gerstlaueringvar]

^ Totally guilty of this!

[VF15]

...when you go up an escalator, you think "lift hill".

[VF15]

...when you lead the student section in the "roller coaster" at a football or basketball game, you move your body to the layout of an actual coaster.

[Sharman19]

If you go on a manhunt for the GP, very guilty of this.
