Here's one I'm guilty of:
-Whenever you read/hear about the linear length of a race or walking/running track or route, you immediately compare it to the track length of a specific coaster you're thinking of.
Example: Running a 5K would be equivalent to running the Voyage's track length ~2.5 times.

...you are spending 8 full days in a tent at an outside temerature of 5??????C with your best friend and travel 550 km by train to get to Heide Park for the best vacation trip ever. And once you are there for two days you get mad because the queue is longer than 5 minutes for Colossos and Flug der D?????monen. :D

Like me and my friend. :D

...when your family is planning a vacation somewhere, your first concern is whether or not your vacation destination has any parks/coasters nearby.

I've ridden at least 13 SLC's and 14 Boomerangs (Excluding the GIB's and Invertigo's). And that stat was up to the point when I kept track of what types I've ridden. So the current stats would be even higher. To top that, done a bunch of crappy Chinese coasters in China as well. I can recall some being very uncomfortable but painful? Nope.
So my question still stands. :lol:

Sheikra, Deja Vu and Falcon's Fury are the only rides that still affect me. And I may have killed it on Falcon's Fury rerides>_>

-You ride FearFall at Kentucky Kingdom (or any other Larson drop tower) and you can deduce exactly when it's going to drop without needing to sit on the side that casts a shadow.
-The majority of your Steam activity consists of either posting NL2 screenshots or NL2 workshop items.
-Your favorite levels in Super Mario World are Roy's Castle and Larry's Castle just because of the brown platform that moves like a roller coaster.
-You're 30 years old and still play with one of these: Image

...when you lead the student section in the "roller coaster" at a football or basketball game, you move your body to the layout of an actual coaster.
