V2-dude Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 www.screamscape.com/html/six_flags_marine_world.htm I searched to see if this has been posted, and it doesn't look like it. Apparently the direction signs have been changed to "Nitro". I think it should stay as Medusa, Nitro's station is friggin ugly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Marketing. Medusa has nothing to do with cars. Nitro, however, does. I wouldn't be suprised if the other coasters being sponsered would change their names also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Weird... I hope they change the color scheme if they change the ride name. I'm actually surprised it took this long to clone the name "Nitro." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phazan Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 ^I'm sure they won't...just like Stargate. It still has the old dinosaur theme, only there are stargate logos on everything... stupid SixFlags... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMontu Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I think the new "car" theme ties in well with the "parking lot" theming that the ride opened with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 And the fact that there are three Superman: Ultimate Flights, not two. I am a marketing major and I love marketing and advertising. I understand the motive behind this, but I really did love the name Nitro and I thought it was very original. As a parkgoer and park enthusiast, I don't like it when original names like this are used over and over again, even though I understand the motives behind it. I get it as a business guy - I hate it as a park enthusiast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Wow, that sucks on so many levels. I could see them possibly giving the name Nitro to another BRAND NEW coaster that was similar in style as Nitro. But renaming a old ride to, Nitro!? That is just asking for bad karma. Shame on you Six Flags. I'm goiong to go outside now and blow up something with an M-80 to release my anger over this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hercules Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Ah, I'm sorry to jump the gun on that. I didn't read it correctly. I will give you credit where credit is due. I still don't think you should freak out about this though. It is just business. It's something that I don't like either, but I have come to accept.

coasterbilly Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 that is so strange and so dumb, almost as dumb as CF renaming the rides @ SFWoA to GL taking various names from other coasters @ CF parks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
