135. You count the same coaster at 3 different parks as 3 different rides.

136. You debate endlessly why you think doing that is justifiable.


136a. You debate with your wife or signifigent other why you're not crazy for wanting to ride all these coasters.

137. You know that borsht and Siberia have more to do with coasters than you might think.

138. You've debate about who's a credit whore and what justifies being one.

139. You look forward to riding a coaster at one park, even though you have already rode an identical coaster at another park.


My mother (1946-2009) once asked me why I go to Magic Mountain so much. I said I feel the most alive when I'm on a roller coaster.
2010 total visits: SFMM-9, KBF-2

139a. You ride a coaster at one park even though you rode the same coaster at a different park and hated it.


Before you can be older and wiser you first have to be young and stupid.

139b. You get excited about riding a new coasters, even if it's the SAME coaster you rode at another park that was just moved.

Guilty of 130! Granted, we were going to the wedding anyway, but the first thought on hearing that my friend was going to be married in Cincinnati next year was "Sweet. I finally get to go to KI!"

140. You become annoyed with your boss because he sends you to a city that happens to have a seasonal park that is now unfortunately closed!

..stupid work sending me to Cincinnati in 2 weeks.. couldnt have been a month or so ago.. Noooooo... sigh.


Guilty of #134 twice!

Tidal Wave @ SFGAm, then Viper @ SFOG, then Greezed Lightning @ SFKK

Z-Force @ SFGAM, then Z-Force @ SFOG, then Flashback @ SFMM and it sucked at all 3 parks!!

No, I didn't count them as additional credits! :)

141. Your boss doesn't ask you to work on weekend because he/she knows your favorite park is opening for season.


Jerry - Magnum Fanatic
Famous Dave's- 206 restaurants - 35 states - 2 countries

142. When you found out how little the Little Dipper went for, you wish you had the cash to buy it for your back yard!

143. You spend enough time in Vegas JUST to ride the coasters.

I am highly guilty of this, but they were all new-to-me coasters at the time. ;) Next time I will just ride Speed, the Strat attractions, and actually check out the rest of Vegas. Manhattan Express (or whatever it is called now) was definitely a "check off the list" coaster. I wouldn't ride it again even if they paid me the $12. One word: OUCH!

Actually, we spent the night there, but the next time I go to Vegas it's at least going to be for a weekend!

144. You spend enough time at Buffalo Bill's JUST to get that Desperado credit.

We literally parked the car, ran to the ride, bought our tickets, rode, picked up a quick to-go bite at the McD's there, ran back to the car, and just made it back to L.A. in time for Knott's Solace. ;)

145. You think of ways to sneak phone under thanksgiving table so you can post the next sign of a die-hard coaster junkie.

146. Your daugther bores her grandmother with coaster tails while waiting for the turkey on Thanksgiving day.

Is the tail of the ride the part after the MCBR? ;)
