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

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.

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 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.
