V2-dude Posted June 30, 2006 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!
pvcoasterguy Posted June 30, 2006 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.
ECZenith Posted July 1, 2006 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."
phazan Posted July 1, 2006 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...
WillMontu Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I think the new "car" theme ties in well with the "parking lot" theming that the ride opened with.
GADVFREAK99 Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 This is stupid the only REAL NITRO is in GADV. It will be another coasters name.
Jeezus Juice Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Yeah, what is Six Flags thinking!!! That would be like SO DISRESPECTFUL to NITRO!!!1! It would ruin my life and my dreams!
IwantRevenge Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 No there ruining SFGadvs orginality with Nitro! now i'm mad. First a cloned Medusa name, now a cloned Nitro, what next another El Toro? KingDa Ka?[/rant mode]
Guest Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Next thing you know, they'll steal the name Superman from SFGadv!
IwantRevenge Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 ^too late there are 2 other Superman: Ultimate flights we only have 5 orginal names El Toro KingDa Ka Rolling Thunder Skull Mountian Great American Scream Machine
willski Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 ^too late there are 2 other Superman: Ultimate flights we only have 5 orginal names El Toro KingDa Ka Rolling Thunder Skull Mountian Great American Scream Machine SFoG had the GASM name first. Make it 4 original names.
Hercules Posted July 2, 2006 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.
TheArchfiend Posted July 2, 2006 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
3rdShiftCM Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 No there ruining SFGadvs orginality with Nitro! now i'm mad. First a cloned Medusa name, now a cloned Nitro, what next another El Toro? KingDa Ka?[/rant mode] Like Oh my god, how could they do that!! Got to love them Kids!!
IwantRevenge Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 And the fact that there are three Superman: Ultimate Flights, not two. note i said there are to OTHERS! as if i'm tlaking aobut the Gadv superman and saying there were 2 more like it. Get it?
Hercules Posted July 3, 2006 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 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
