DirkFunk Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Oooh, creativity! I like imagining names. Steel Gunt The Kinzel Experience Hookers on Meth King Jason (Lebron's image cost too much, so they settled for Cleveland Indian/BALCO client Jason Giambi. Much cheaper.)

Myself Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Kind of a stretch here...but could this be the ride Cedar Fair will use the name "Centurion" for? I know the "leaked" Carowinds logo doesn't match Mantis's current or test paint scheme, but recall when King's Island tried to fake us out with "the Bat" as a wing coaster: Note not only how unpolished the Bat logo looked as the fake wing coaster announcement versus the final logo, but the different color scheme. Something in my gut tells me that this logo is going to be used for SOMETHING...and that redone Mantis may just be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewesker Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Don't know if I'd put stock into that. KI apparently had no plans to convert Flight Deck until they did the tease and it got a great response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I wasn't the only person thinking that! I do think Mantis is gonna get the Lebron treatment, though. King James: Centurion? /hookers on meth, I could get behind that.

ScreaminNewEngland Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If they even put the name james in the title, I'm going to be upset. The King or Centurion is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlahBlahson Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 They should do the King James naming a coaster for a day thing before this season, while the hype is at its highest. Who knows, maybe by May 2014 James got hurt or something during the season and the Cavs are mediocre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverstreak2016 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The "lemon chill" guy gave me an interesting conversation yesterday. Wicked twister will be changed to "the king" with cavalier colors. Meanstreak will be "silverstreak" in 2016. And finally mantis will have a green spine with red pillars and be known as "mantis inferno" featuring a redone second half of ride and the new sitdown trains will travel 10mph faster than the old mantis.

We're blaming it on the "lemon chill" guy now? What happened to the mouthy dip-n-dots guys? I can buy Silverstreak and Mantis Inferno, but renaming WT to "The King" is definitely a stretch. Who knows though, I'm not one to rule anything out anymore, and the NBA tie-in would be interesting. Mantis Inferno is legitimately an awesome name though, even if it doesn't make ANY sense.

JamesMC Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 This may be a rant.... I am "all" for themed rides, HOWEVER..... Not all themed rides have to tie in with movies or sports teams or personalities etc...etc... My home park SFGA was the first to introduce "Batman, The Ride" for a B&M creation....and don't get me wrong, it was a really cool concept....did I need to see the movie or be a Graphic Novel Enthusiast for me to enjoy the ride?... no! I just needed to like roller coasters...and I do. All the tie ins were just fluff for a good ride....but I didn't get in line going, "Oh wow, I am going to soar and twist like the Bat Man?" No, and I believe he just flies in a straight line anyway. If Cedar Point is going to a deliver a LeBron James (and of course I am sympathetic to the name...ahem) it should be a RMC retooling of "Mean Streak" to an Out And Back. Think about it, when LeBron reached the pinnacle of his career...he went a long distance, far away. (Lift hill to turn-around, Miami) AND THEN decided to come home. (or back to the station)......unless of course Mantis rehab is going to have a lot of "Hoops" around the track..... Do we really need a Sports Star themed ride to make it entertaining? No, either it's a good ride or it's not. Not saying Mantis shouldn't have been called "Stacked, The Ride", but please Cedar Point....spend more money on the Rehab and less on the promotional tie-ins In ten years it won't matter anyway....we will have all moved on to the next movie or the next sports superstar. Just please make a good ride................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
