Definitely. One of my friend's parents said "How do you know all that? Do you just sit at home and memorize facts about roller coasters?" I replied with a meek little, "Yes." One of my friends says he's a coaster enthusiast but he's really not. Not at all. That's what C101 and TPR are for though!

I'm not going to take a picture. But I know what you ^ are talking about. On one wall I have a shelf of Dollywood mugs.
And yes I think that counts as being obsessed. lol.

It's funny when my friends, who don't really "get" the whole enthusiast deal, get back from a park, they're often, "Whoa dude, now I know why you love coasters so much!"
I guess people forget the actual thrill part of the ride.

Well, a lot of my friends joke on me about being obsessed about roller coasters and the way I deal with it is to just joke along with them. I don't try to hid it or deny it, I am just like, yep, coasters are a big part of my life, big deal. One of my friends, I could see getting really into coasters. He always wants to go to parks. I need to get him into the community. He will just get a late start at 16 instead of my 3.

Yeah, what are you supposed to do:
"Hey, are you obsessed with coasters?" "No *breathes heavily*, what are you talking about *mutters under breath* oh god oh god oh god!!!"
I mean, it's your hobby, you definately don't have to hide it! Most of my friends are like "Oh, that's cool!" when I tell them something about them, so it's all good!

I hate when people on you tube tell me "get a life". It gets me so mad because they are somthing that i am interested in and it is not their job to call me weird or tell me that i do not have a life. But my friends are cool about it, I go to Six Flags with them and they joke around with me but I know that they are just kidding.
HAHA Zach. I have the same thing but with all kinds of coasters.

People always tell me that I'm obsessed, but I just go along with it. My mom gets mad if I even mention coasters. I drew Millennium Force and Kingda Ka in Language Arts. ;D
