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! :(

I had a coaster geek in my class in high school :D

You order tickets for an event at some kind of indoor arena with 3 digit section numbers, and you get excited when your seat happens to be in section 325. Bonus points if it's a concert where any of these songs play at any point.

-The initials for Republican National Convention make you think of RMC
-During the off-season you ride playground slides repeatedly as a warm-up
-You get a job working at a theme park and you would be perfectly willing to do it without getting paid
-You either propose or get married while on a roller coaster
-You use your TvTropes account to make an article for No Limits 2 and try to brainstorm tropes that apply to either the program or various creations users have made. Or is that more "You know TvTropes has ruined your life if..."?

...when riding the city bus, you always sit in the back to get the most airtime when going over bumps. ;)

-You'd rather live without music than live without coasters
-You have a staggering collection of drink coasters
-Your dream job is to work at a factory that makes drink coasters
-You think the waterpark is just filler
-You want to pursue an engineering degree just for designing roller coasters, and if the competition for that is too tough, then you have no more interest in being an engineer

You watch Katy Perry's 'Chained to the Rhythm' video not because you like the song but just because of the video itself.
