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

You figure out whether or not it's Wednesday just by checking if ride_op has just made another 'No Limits 2 roundup" playlist.

... you feel like you are just on the second floor when you are at 100 feet high. xD

You're in a public restroom and get all excited when you see this in the urinal:

[Turbo]

lol that's a good one

[Paradox]

You write your college essay about riding a rollercoaster

- You know that you're a "very true" coaster geek if you know that some kiddie coasters including Wacky Worms don't actually pass the tunnel test! O_O!

Similarly when I'm working on the railway and see this:

You have the urge to talk about rollercoasters with your friends even though you know they don't care at all

You even go on CoasterCrazy...

You get pissed off when theme parks have a lot of theming but don't do the ceilings.

Thats the worst thing about pirates of the Caribbean in Disney Paris

It's the thing that everyone notices but no one says anything about

Looking at a few spots on Taron really had me thinking about that, especially the roll up to the launch track going through a small building ;(

... you can *proudly* say that you like Chinese Coasters and want to know about them, lol!
... you tend to feel like tweaking those knockoff parts.

-You use No Limits 2 to make alternate timeline versions of real parks (like what if this park got this ride instead, or if they got this particular coaster in some vacant area that looks ripe for expansion, or RMCed this woodie) and think of it like writing fanfiction
-You participate in rodeos cuz of the air-time from the horses shaking you off, never-mind the fact that the horses are angry
-You didn't vote on Election day, and your excuse was 'too busy riding roller coasters'

- When someone mentions a theme park or coaster, you very quickly dominate the conversation until people are visibly uncomfortable...
- (Related to email one) When someone asks for your email, and then asks you if it's "RC car, plane, helicopter, or boats?" and you respond "Roller coasters"

Also, forget the textbook, I try to identify any unlabeled coaster when shown (book, website, passing reference, video, etc.).

Edit: Completely missed there were 18 pages... wow I'm behind.

Ok, I like the thread, but seriously: don't do this... it's an important time.

Fixed.

- My turn: ... you like to hear someone say like "T'was awesome! Coasters are fun!" while waiting in line!

...you binge-watch coaster POVs for hours when you should be studying.

You call that riding Maverick or El Toro

Edit: ^ and that, which I'm doing at this very moment

... you watch coaster videos for hours opening the "rcdb.com" window.
... you like what David Ellis is doing on his YouTube channel!

- Actions listed! -

When flying on a plane, you always get a window seat so you can try to see amusement parks from the sky. (I'm definitely guilty, I was able to see Valleyfair from my seat while descending into Minneapolis last May.)

You analyze structures everywhere, engineer or not.
You hear a word (___) and immediately say "there's a coaster called ___!" ... and then someone looks over to you with a very annoyed look on their face.
You attempt to apply coaster making techniques to building things, such as prefabricated sections to make a roof structure. This annoyed my friend heavily.
You can't find anyone to relate to IRL (if you go to school), so you keep your thoughts to yourself awkwardly.

It's hard being a coaster enthusiast!

... you like to browse all contributed pieces of information on RCDB.com lol!
