When talking about The Dark Knight movie you mention how perfect it was and how the ride was an embarassment to Batman and The Joker. To people who have no idea what the Dark Knight Coaster is.

Making sure all of your friends have their Season Passes 2 days prior to opening day, to assure they can go. *GUILTY*

I'm guilty of that too, some of my friends were too lazy to buy it on the computer so I had to persuade them to buy it at the gate which lost us 30 minutes of ride time, lol!

Your friends ask why your taking pictures of the rides.

You overhear people stating incorrect facts about a ride and want to blow their brains out.
You know you're a coaster enthusiast when you enthusiastically enjoy riding roller coasters.

....when you look at random sets of land and wonder if you could fit a coaster there.
....when you see a batman logo, instead of thinking about the movies, you think about the ride.
....when you wear your favorite coaster T-shirt to a formal event.
....when you have a picture of a coaster on your phone/computer as your wallpaper.
....when you plan to "pop the question" you involve a coaster in any way. (Will be Guilty of that soon)
...you post on or run a coaster site. GUILTY!
...you have theme park music on your iPod . Yep, the Demon song, all the songs from BTR, Superman theme, and a few others.
...you name anything after a roller coaster, I have named my Xbox 360 profiles after coasters before.
...your desktop background is a roller coaster or theme park related, yep.
...you travel hundreds of miles or to another country just for a theme park. (Not guilty of that yet, until I go to SFMM).

When you use acronyms to talk about different parks and rides and your friends have no idea what you're saying. They don’t know, and it drives me crazy.

When you ride Raging Bull and announce when the trims are on. *GUILTY*
Yes I have cursed the trim breaks for slowing us down on the 3rd hill.

When you keep your lap bar open just a bit further to allow for airtime. *GUILTY*
Yes
When you shout, 'I LOVE B&Ms!' On any B&M coasters. *GUILTY*
I have done that before, on and off B&M’s.

When talking about The Dark Knight movie you mention how perfect it was and how the ride was an embarrassment to Batman and The Joker. To people who have no idea what the Dark Knight Coaster is. Yes I have done this before, TDK is a really crappy ride.

When I go to Great America with friends and I explain the history of the park and who makes what ride. Yes, I have been called a SFGAm Encycopedia before.

When you force your friends on the back or front of Raging Bull even if other rows have open seats. I do this all the time, I force them into the front or back as much as I can because I don’t want to sit anywhere in the middle of the train.
When you view your Season Pass as your most precious commodity. SUPER GUILTY!!!

You hate it when the day is coming to an end, and you have to soon go home. You’d rather stay all night riding roller coasters. GUILTY!!!!

You can't sleep the night before you go to SFGAm, no matter what you do to fall asleep you just can't. GUILTY.

I am GUILTY of so many of those.

No, I believe someone posted a download to the song at one point, but now it's gone. There are ways of getting it, legally though.
