that was totally me in grade school.

...when you get excited that you work at an amusement park in rides, and then get placed at your favorite ride at the park
...you get over excited about a rides track being completed, and as a celebration, you don't go to any of your classes because of the pure excitement level inside you

You apply to work at your home park, and when you don't get the job, you hulk out, cut up your season pass, spam the park's Facebook page with profanity, promotion of its competitors, and go on a long winded rant about how you deserve the job just because you're a ride enthusiast and know which manufacturers made which rides and why they break down, and message all your friends urging them to boycott the park.

More like I'll ask them to describe a coaster whose name they don't remember, and chances are I will get it right even if I've never been to the park.

Layout sketches... I believe that a lot of people on CC have done that! I'm guilty as well! :P

... you have thought in your childhood that coasters at Legoland are made from Lego pieces lol.
... you think that "Tayto Park" has got less attractions than world major parks do, but they are awesome at showing the real quality of thrills!
... you feel that "Tayto Park" should begin to have at least, two more big thrills so they can even surprise plenty of US major parks!
... you assume that Tayto Park is strict when it comes to a rider's height limit (Maximum: 5' 7" or 1.75m!) for the obviously insane-looking slide! BTW I'm 5' 8" tall lol. Boo!
... you literally want for Ireland to get more "enjoyable" coasters!
- You know that you're a true coaster geek if... you can find the goal of Tayto Park promising. You also think that they have a fun and sophiscated website!
... you guess that Tayto Park can be like Hershey Park of Ireland because of their products.
... you really like to loop the Six Flags "from families to thrill seekers" video on their top page promoting their, um, "very" best coasters and... flats!
... you want to say like medium-sized coasters are in fact, associated with a lot of "hidden" fun factors.
... you love the "Coaster Force" website!

:) Long Live, Tayto Park! :)

-You don't think Six Flags Magic Mountain and Cedar Point have enough coasters
-You spend more time playing No Limits 2 than Undertale, FNAF, Mario, Zelda, Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress 2, Sonic the Hedgehog, Call of Duty, and Halo combined.
-You go to the Kentucky Science Center (or any science/art museum that has this feature) and when you first go in, you watch the balls on the Gravitram go through the metal labyrinth, and that's literally all you do until closing time.

When you make a coaster in NoLimits that intentionally has a layout that you built specifically to be sort of like the plot of a certain series you recently finished and really really liked.

... you feel that this sign - http://rcdb.com/12819.htm#p=62753 - is similar to a RCT3 package design! Plus "SFMM Revolution" with wrong supports is depicted lol!
... you say that "Outlaw" at Adventureland... has got the best pre-drop of all woodies!
... you wish for every Log Flume to make Wild Mouse-like turns.

:lol:

^^ Thanks so much for quoting! :D

... you think that the attraction types at Timber Falls is similar to those at Tayto Park!
... you want to break into song such like "I'd buy a big house where we could put the Miner Mike coaster."

-You're excited about new rides opening halfway across the world, even when you can't realistically expect to visit those parks anytime soon
-You'd rather own a piece of a real coaster than a car
-Related to the above, you have a video on your YouTube channel titled 'Psycho dad breaks roller coaster piece.'

Lemme type... ;)

... you don't get annoyed by the coaster roar while waiting in line.
... you have imagined like the truss track for ShockWave and Mind Bender is identical to that of a Giga!
... you clearly know how fun Wacky Worms are, lol!
... you like to start browsing with RCDB.com!
... you tend to show the more better solutions for existing layouts.
... you feel a great joy of digging sketchy designs that actually have a lot of potential.
... you have a pretty good knowledge of an actual "Wiegand's Mountain Coaster" speed - it's just as fast as racing bikes are, going on 25mph.
... you are fond of learning the coaster history from defunct and/or existing kiddie coasters.
... you think that the vast sky is like a canvas for coaster elements and inversions!
... you still miss the "memorial" tiny tracks that are now gone.
