Signs you might be a die-hard coaster junkie
Well, SFMM and I were talking about this last night and came up with a list of things.
Some of them are based in real life and I'm guilty of a few. Others might be too extream, but they get the point across.
1. You drive two hours to check out ONE coaster.
2. When you plan non-coaster road trips, you check to see which coasters are on the route and plan in extra time so you can stop an ride.
3. You move to SoCal or Florida so you can ride coasters year-round
4. Your kids are named after coasters. (Maggie, Millie, Zeus, Beast, ect.)
5. Most of your wardrobe was bought at a park.
6. You considar anything under two hours a "walk-on"
7. If you live somewhere where you can't ride coasters year-round, there are two seasons: Coaster season and 6 months of anticipation.
8. You ALWAYS make sure you have opening day for CP off, even if you live nowhwhere near Sandusky.

11. The numbers for Intamin AG, Verkoma, Gravity Group, and B&M are stored in your cell phone.
12. You've followed a truck carrying track 300 miles out of your way just to find out where the coaster's going to be.
13. You "barrow" your neighbor's kids just to get a credit on a kiddie coaster.
