You Know You're An Emgee When....

You perk up to actually watch the Tony Danza Show because some guy said he is an expert on roller coasters.

LOL! Thanks for reviving this thread, Mike.

---when you drive from Charleston to Pittsburgh in crappy weather to visit friends and they decide to visit Kennywood in the middle of February in 20 degree weather just to take photos of construction and Phantom's new paint job, as well as drool over Pitfall.

NOT that I did that or anything. ;-)

...when you are assigned to do an A.P. History project on something that is historically important in America and you do the history of roller coasters.

Oh yea I got a 97% on that by the way.

The Only Thing Worst Then Dieing, Is Living And Having Nothing Worth Dieing For.

....when you take Sean Flaharty's trip report on tobagging and see how many words it has, sorry Legendary to pick on you, see Back to Basics Coasting - Tobogganing at The Chalet (2/20/05) if you don't know what I am talking about)

Let's shoot us some deer Joe Joe!!!!

I saw a six flags advertisement on the back of a cereal box. I couldn't help but stare at the coaster.

And oh yeh, wasting hours upon hours and hours thinking of what I would do if given control of certain parks. What to add, change, fix, and what not. My job would suck if i didn't discover this hobby. Wait its not a hobby at all, it's an obsession...Crap.

... a client shows you a topographical map of a property he wants to develop, and you wonder how well an amusement park would fit on the site.

... you decide that a site you worked on a couple of years ago actually would have made a better park, so you dig through the old plan files to find it to make sure.

... when you are doing a 5 page report for school about the history of coasters.

i'm not sure what to put here..

When every algebra project for the last 4 quarters has included some kind of coaster. ;)

Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid.

...when you spend the last 20 minutes reading each and every post on this thread....which was fun!

Im like most of the people here, I only go on trips if there is an amusement park within a 90 minute drive of the hotel/friend's house im staying in.

Im defintely spending 4th of July weekend in Montreal and possibly 5 days in Chicago in August. I wonder, WHAT PARKS ARE NEARBY..... ;-)

You won't see me coming...
