It's okay, what I'm saying is you are to the LEGO community probably what I as a
European flatride enthusiast am to the general coaster enthusiast community.
I remember when I started to despise "coaster" enthusiasts. I remember that day
well. It was 2 years ago. For some unknown reason I happen to find myself in
line for Wild Beast. Blah, wood, whatever. Two enthusiasts were in front of me
and we started to chat. I asked them if they'd riden the TopScan yet. They
asked what that was, and I said Shockwave. And pointed to it, in all it's
Mondial goodness.
...to which they replied, "Oh, we don't ride *those*. They just spin."
Absolutely. Unbeliveable.
You get them in every bunch. It's frightening, the similarities between the two
hobbies.
