LingLing13 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Which coaster has the worst name (by the way I searched for this topic and there was nothing) I think the coaster with the worst name is Stealth at Thorpe Park. It's themed to 50's drag racing yet it's called Stealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIP Psyclone Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well, the worst named coaster I can think of (technically different than worst name, but oh well) is the upcoming Goliath at SFFT. Why a Batman clone being renamed Goliath we may never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natatomic Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I don't know about worst, but Scream! at SFMM is a rather unoriginal name. It's like coming up with a brand new food and naming it Digest!. Maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepills Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Which coaster has the worst name (by the way I searched for this topic and there was nothing) I think the coaster with the worst name is Stealth at Thorpe Park. It's themed to 50's drag racing yet it's called Stealth Maybe, but I thought it was called Stealth because it sticks out a mile. Almost like a joke name because its anything but Stealth like. I do think Goliath for the Batman clone is a crap name also, right now I can't think of anything else to put Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdstrom Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 1.) Corkscrew - Found everywhere 2.) Underground at Adventureland 3.) Any superhero coasters - Batman, Superman, etc. 4.) Millennium Force - very lame name for such a good coaster 5.) Wild Thing - Yes, it's wild and it's a thing but come on 6.) Sky Princess at Dutch Wonderland 7.) Jackrabbit - I don't get why people would name coaster Jackrabbit? 8.) Racers - Geez, how unoriginal 9.) That Spongebob Squarepants coaster coming to MOA. 10.) Any coasters named after movie is very tacky - Example: Top Gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDragon Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Mighty Mini Mega at Southend. No it's not mighty. Yes it is mini and no it is not mega. Green Scream at Southend. Yes it's green but nobody screams. or Stealth at Thorpe. If you're gonna theme it to a dragrace, call it Dragrace or something related rather than animg it after a friggin aeroplane.

sam06pr Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 all of the rides at Chimelong Paradise. 10 inversion roller coaster Motorbike launch coaster Family Gravity Coaster Twister Coaster How original. Maybe its just the language barrier and it sounds better in whatever language that is (Mandarin?) All I need to hear is Dive Machine through the clouds! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadley Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I know it doesn't open until next season, and I know it's a GCI, but SFSL's new '08 coaster...Evel Knievel. For me, stupidest decision ever for a coaster that isn't a booster bike! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerBlackWings Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I know it doesn't open until next season, and I know it's a GCI, but SFSL's new '08 coaster...Evel Knievel. My sentiments exactly. Who, UNDER FORTY, even knows who Evel Knievel IS?!??!! I made it a point to email Joe Draves (of GCI fame) and ask why they didn't push for the "SuperDave Osborne Theme".

ebl Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 X. Now that's...interesting. Would they have called the next ride Y? Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgb60 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Names that are taken from other languages, or made up to sound like other languages. Gwazi, Sheikra, Kingda Ka. They tell us the word is supposed to mean something. But if you google the name, every item returned refers only to the coaster. No mention of African hawks or mythical half lion/tiger creatures. BTW, Sky Princess is now called Kingdom Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 X. Now that's...interesting. Would they have called the next ride Y? X360? I think 'screw coaster' is a bad name, or any of those really literal names for that matter, 'the flying coaster' would be another example.

Jim S. Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 BTW, Sky Princess is now called Kingdom Coaster. I'm not sure whether that's an improvement. I'm voting for Idlewild's "Rollo Coaster", as the only thing worse than "Roller Coaster". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks4me05 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Pepsi Max Big One. I know pepsi sponsored it but seriously, Big One? I actually think The Big One is actually not that bad of a name - seeing as Nukes and H - Bombs are referred to as "The Big One" (or Ones in that case) and since PMBO is still the largest coaster in England, the name seems fitting. Just in case you didn't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texcoaster Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Marvel Mania - Visionland Arkansas Twister - the first season t-shirts had a silhouette of Cyclone on them, and the coaster is an out-and-back Earthquake McGoon's Brain Rattler - Dogpatch (RIP) Zyklon - This was the name of the gas the Nazis used to kill people in the concentration camps. It's also German for "cyclone", but come on... Zonga - not much better than it's previous name: Taz's Texas Tornado Willard's Whizzer later shortened to just "Whizzer", but the damage was done. Shaft of Terror was changed to Tower of Terror, but again, the damage was done Tig'rr Coaster if you have to intentionally misspell it to make it sound cuter, it sucks. Two Face: The Flip Side is just barely better than Face/Off Fairly Odd Coaster is a mammoth stretch to include "theming" Sooperdooperlooper - 'nuff said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
