You know your a coaster enthusiast when...

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby david on June 27th, 2010, 12:37 am
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. ahaha

Take a turn. Pretty self explanatory.

You know you're a coaster enthusiast when you enthusiastically enjoy riding roller coasters.
Every jumbled pile of person has a thinking part that wonders what the part that isn't thinking, isn't thinking of.

....when you see ANY kind of chain, you wonder if it could support a roller coaster train on a lift.
....when you look at random sets of land and wonder if you could fit a coaster there.
....when you drive fast over bumps in the road to get "airtime".
....when you install OTSR's in your car, replacing seatbelts.
....when you have a raging bull bumper sticker.
....when you see a batman logo, instead of thinking about the movies, you think about the ride.
....^Same goes for Superman.
....when you see a smoke-stack and think how cool it would be to put a drop tower there.
....when you wear your favorite coaster T-shirt to a formal event.
....when your driving down the highway, you wonder if your going faster than V2.
....when you simply REFUSE to eat a churro anywhere else but at your home park.
....when you have a picture of a coaster on your phone as your wallpaper.
....when you plan to "pop the question" you involve a coaster in any way.
....when you play RCT for more than 4 hours a day.
....when you name your dog "Mr. Six"
....when you own EVERY coaster game out there.
& finally
....when SFGAMWORLD.COM is your homepage. ;-)

When 16 out of 24 bookmarks on your browsers bookmark bar are roller coaster related sites.
When your parents threaten to ground you from six flags.

You don't like holidays because you know the parks are super busy, and there is no Screamscape news.

When you use acronyms to talk about different parks and rides and your friends have no idea what you're saying. Seriously, I don't know how many times I've told a friend over IM I'm going to SFGAm and they have no idea what that means.

I know you say coaster enthusiasts, but I'll take it a step further unto "ride" enthusiast also.

...when light poles form a Ferris Wheel from afar. Seriously, there are light poles near me when you are looking at from further away they resemble a Ferris Wheel.
...when you have the audio from the Zipper.
...when you like songs that have coaster names in them.
...when rides you like you make slogans for them. "Once is not enough, you will soon experience it twice. Oh my gosh, it's almost like Deja Vu." "It's going work this time"
...when you make lists for best lit ride.
...when I heard a motorcycle, and it sounds just like the Kiddieland diesel train.
...when you go on rides, and some rides have something related to girls you like.
...when you like pinball, and you actually found a pinball game based on an amusement park / fair - called Cyclone
... you have tried out all the amusement park games like Six Flags Wii, RC1, 2, & 3, Thrillville, No Limits, Disney Coaster, That one game where you are on a roller coaster track and you jump the track when there are gaps in the track, etc
...for rides you have their own song even though they don't an official song (like V2 I have Mellow Yellow)
...when you found the site to get carnival bulbs, and are thinking of getting some http://www.actionlighting.com/items.asp ... =VSV%20127
...when you are at a carnival, and you know next week where they are going.
...when you still call N.A.M.E. by All Star and Astro, and know which rides each one has, and where the other rides came from (like Power Surge came from Farrow)
"I've been staring at the world, waiting. All the trouble and all the pain we're facing. Too much light to be livin' in the dark. Why waste time? We only got one life. Together we can be the CHANGE. So go and let your heart burn bright"

When you attempt to make magnetic or compressed break noises. *GUILTY*

When you ride Raging Bull and announce when the trims are on. *GUILTY*

When you keep your lap bar open just a bit further to allow for airtime. *GUILTY*

When you shout, 'I LOVE B&Ms!' On any B&M coasters. *GUILTY*

When someone asks what the red button is and you shout, "E-STOP!"
