You know you're a coaster geek if...

^ Why 11 times?

...while waiting in line, you count the number of people in front of you to estimate the number of trains/cycles left until you ride.

You watch National Lampoon's Vacation just for the scene where they're at Six Flags Magic Mountain

Guilty as charged, and you can ask meta about this, I do it for basically everything.

...you have your own superstition about each train on every ride

... you know that SLC has one more meaning - Single Loop Coaster (From China.)

Especially when determining if front row is worth the wait!

VF15, you've got an awesome skill!

This is very convenient when visiting Japan. As loading proceeds from front of the train to the back of the train. It's crucial to know how many people you need to let in front of you in order to get a front or backseat.

... you are full of happiness even on a Wacky Worm coaster.
... you can have fun observating wonky track parts.
... you imagine NL1 and 2 parameters while riding real coasters.

Try to make a coaster game in Unity. But fail, and starts over without hope.

-You actually write roller coaster rule 34 fanfiction.
-You draw lewd fanart of real roller coasters

...when riding the city bus, you prefer to sit in the back because you get the most airtime going over bumps.

IDK, I never looked or wrote any myself. If there is in fact no such thing as roller coaster rule 34, and if rule 34 states that if something exists, there is porn of it, that means roller coasters don't exist?

-You did something to cause much of the internet to hate coaster enthusiasts at least as much as bronies and furries, or fans of anything that's blown up in popularity quickly, and because of you, coaster enthusiasts are yet another form of acceptable targets on YouTube, 4chan, and Tumblr.

-You complain about brakes and trims.

... you like to try sticking one of your arms to check the lift hill clearance.

... You check clearance everywhere around the coaster while riding.

...you are browsing Coastercrazy when you still have work to do.

You know you're a coaster geek if you make a 3-paragraph short essay on YouTube pointing out that Arrow actually only used coat hangers to visualize coaster elements and not to directly design them.

... you know how awesome Arrow's transitions are!

... you go on a 6 1/2 day tour of your state getting as many credits as you can (It's actually fun, trust me)

... you know that some kiddie coasters are in fact, scarier than large loopers!

...you wish your car had lapbars instead of seatbelts.
...the employees at your home park know you by name.
...you're getting up early tomorrow morning for the Six Flags announcements.

... you say like smaller is better!
