...you look out at an open field and visualize a coaster layout there.
...you have ever complained to a ride op about how strong a trim brake was.

-You watch Final Destination 3 just for the roller coaster scene.
-You try to get airtime while going sledding
-On a trigonometry test, you're asked to draw a graph representing a sine function and when you do, you draw a coaster train on it too
-You take so much time to detail the train in the above statement that you end up running out of time and flunking the test
-You can remember all the different manufacturers and statistics of every roller coaster just fine but you forget your girlfriend's name
-You react to people getting coaster facts wrong the same way Pokemon fans react to people calling Red 'Ash.'

...when taking a Physics test, you get angry when there is a question asking how much speed a coaster needs during a vertical loop to not fall off.

You broke 3 of these in drafting class:

You cringe whenever K'nex coasters are referred to as 'toys' and insist that if they're toys then so are general lab equipment and coaster parts that are manufactured at factories.

Guilty as well. In fact, I was also looking forward to getting some coaster and flat ride credits at Kings Island I hadn't gotten yet more than graduation. I was about tempted to miss my own graduation.
