...when you're half-asleep while watching a video in class and a roller coaster/amusement park appears, you instantly become wide awake.

-In No Limits 2, you design potential RMC remakes of every single non-RMC wooden coaster in existence, including wooden kiddie coasters and the Intamin prefabs.
-You watch this video and it makes you think "RMC Eeveelutions confirmed."
-A building gets remodeled and you think "RMC that building confirmed."
-You work out until you get the body you always wanted, look in the mirror, and think "RMC me confirmed."
-You convert to Buddhism because you think of reincarnation as your life and body receiving the RMC treatment.
-You feel the urge to recreate a particular real life school, University, recreational outing, sports/concert venue, or neighborhood in a 3D modeling program, and shoehorn a roller coaster that goes around or through it.

Working as an engineer there's loads of Victorian archways that are modelled - would love to design a rollercoaster twisting around them but never get round to exporting the files.

...any mention of the number "325" makes you think about a certain coaster in the Carolinas.

To go along with this one, if anyone mentions the number "420" makes you think of a particular ride in Ohio

Not only that, but you're not willing to keep an open mind about RCTW, TPS, or any other theme park/roller coaster simulators or games just because you automatically assume that you don't want to try it if it isn't as good as or better than No Limits 2, and you think that won't happen anytime soon because you assume that any attempt by anyone other than Ole Lange trying to top No Limits 2 is like making direct-to-video sequels to Shakespeare's plays.

Same here bruh. People hated me, and loved me in my physics class when we got to the coaster part of the class. They hated cause I would always correct them, but they loved me because I knew what I was doing and they all came to me for help with it.

^ Don't worry. I'm paying a lot of respect to all other coaster sims, too. I rather like to check out these "not NL" threads! How can I forget "RCTW and TPS"!

...you become excited when you stumble upon music that is theme park-related (happened to me last night, there was a commercial on TV that had the Twisted Colossus animation music).

... you can have fun simulating spinning coasters in front of a PC screen... using your body actions! It's a difficult task if you want to do that accurately!
