I got a question for all people that are still in school. Are you the only Roller Coaster Enthusiast at your school? Iam and it gets really annoying telling people that I go to SFGAm for my hobby/ ride roller coasters. They are like " what do you do" and " don’t you get bored." I ask my question because do you guys have the same experiences. I have even tried to convert people at my school to the way of the Roller Coaster lol. I got one of my friends to go like 8 times during the season but once I broke out the Coaster terminology she was out lol. I wish I had another like me at my school but I dont
Well, my gf likes coasters... But no one else is as big as me. In science they all gave me strange looks when our teacher asked what is the tallest coaster do any of you know and I said TTD. They started laughing. And no one knew that Shockwave was gone until I told them and they didnt know what S:UF was, I was and still am afraid of them!!!!!

1.) I remember telling all of my friends last year about S:UF. I kept telling them all about it, and they just didn't believe me. They found out the hard way on May 3rd though....
If you thought that was amusing....
2.) While going up the lift on Superman, one of my friends noticed "blue" track and "white" supports sitting on a hill beside the ride. They right away concluded "A new ride for next year!!! Cool!" I tried to tell them it was SW. They didn't believe me then, and they still don't believe me now. They knew they took SW done, I guess they don't realize that it was sitting on the hill and in the employee parking lot.
I think I'm the only enthusiast in my class. But not the only fan of coasters. Many people are amazed by how much I know. I think I know very little to be honest. I'd like to see the look on their faces if they talked to some of you who know far more than me.
Well let's see, freshman and sophomore year I wasn't the only enthusiast (Travis went to my school, for those of you who don't know). But now I definitely am. People think I'm nuts, but some people think it's cool. Most just don't understand...
Im not seeing coastercrazy111 goes to my school I guess but I have never met him, and people think im crazy cause I go there everyweek and it doesn't get boring.
Haha it's so true, I think I was the only Lake Zurich High School fanatic. Oh well, people were always jealous when they'd see me on the news in the morning at SFGAm media days while they were getting ready for school.
Im not the only coaster enthusiast at my school.... As far as I know, its me, my brother, and yes....my old histroy teacher. ITs funny too, he would come in school and show our class coaster t.v specials he taped and he got jealous when i told him i rode TTD! ha! But I do expierence the look of crazyness very often becuase I always talk about Six Flags to my friends and they get pretty sick of it, but I cant help it... and after I told them how many times I went there over the summer, they were so shocked and all they could say was dont you ever get bored. of course not!

Me and Da Rcman2001 are the only coaster enthusiasts at our school. But alot of our friends parents, older brothers, and sisters work at SFGAm cause we live two minutes away from the park. We try to not talk about coasters at school because nobody really even cares!
Most of my friends know that I visit Six Flags a few more then a couple of times each year. They always ask me questions like "don't you get bored going so many times.". They usually are cool about it, some of my friends used to have season passes themsleves, and I know that some plan on buying them this year now that they can drive there, so I might be going even more times this season .
I don't think i'm the only coaster freak that goes to my school but I hate when my friends are like "your soo lucky, you have a season pass" or "Geez you know a lot about roller coasters, are you like obsessed with them?" It gets pretty annoying.
i never told anyone i dont realy want anyone to no i go to streamwood high like one of the ghetto schools atound and everyone else is off smoking pot rather then going to sfgam so i dont bring it up unless someone else does.
Well i go to drug capital USA-Lake Park High, I am sadly the only coaster dork in the school, but lighting server will be joing me next year. HAHa Freshy.
OMG! There are two people who like to ride coasters but don't go anywhere beyond that. The closest person was my science teacher last year. He took a class in collage and they went to Ceder point to do some experiments and since then he's been hooked. The first day we ended up talking about coasters for a half hour while the rest of the class ignored us. It's so werid.
And also, i don't remember who said it but i found out about superman from a post on coasterbuzz. (I'd actually figured it out the July before) but that's how it got confirmed. when i told my friends, they didn't belive me!
Yeah, I'm the only coaster freak in my school... it kinda sucks. Some of my friends always say "How can you be so obsessed with roller coasters?" It's really annoying...
Me, my friend Matt, and one other kid(i think) at my school( Warren Township High school) are. I never really bring up coaster stuff unless someone does 1st(which is RARE).
