Generic Name Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Another "Apocalypse" coaster? Goliath was taken. Here we go again with Six Flags overusing a name that doesn't involve a DC Comics superhero or villain! Two things... 1. It's actually SMARTER for them to overuse a name that doesn't involve a DC Comics character since there are no additional licensing fees involved. 2. While I get that people don't like it when Six Flags reuses names, no one seems to complain when companies like Disney or Legoland does it. How many Space Mountains and Dragon's do we have in the world? Look, I get it. You want a more original name or theme. But let's also remember this is Six Flags we are talking about. Personally, if it means they spend less money on creative for a name that none of us would really give a crap about anyway, and 99% of their guests would never know that "Goliath" also appears in several other parks, I'd rather they save that money across the chain and spend it on putting in another ride at one of their parks. I think the majority of you guys know I'm right. --Robb Oh I get that, and it makes sense for Six Flags to reuse names. My jab was that they were just going down the list of names they used, but yes you are right. And in all fairness, Apocalypse isn't that bad of a name (compared to some other names for rides I've seen, and not just at Six Flags). Part of me wants the Cyclone name to be retained (New England history and all that) but I'm not originally from NE so it doesn't really make a difference at least for me. Really as long as it's not "Apocalyptic Cyclone" I'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NunChaser6685 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 New clue posted to Twitter. I would think this is the letters of the new name all scrambled, but I see no Y. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camthedominator Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm on board with the whole apocalypse thing. In my opinion it has a nice ring to it. Also, Six Flags doesn't need to give us hints, they have already spilled the beans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canobiefanatic Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I see New England and storm. Still points to the storm theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I ran it through an anagram generator, just the letters that are scrambled. 62,501 results. http://wordsmith.org/anagram/anagram.cgi?anagram=dcesktmnoewsegstoliimrci&language=english&t=0&d=&include=&exclude=&n=&m=&source=adv&a=n&l=n&q=n&k=1 Whoever has the next few days free, be my guest.

ECZenith Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 So far I have these words or combos Steel Storm, doom, new, iron, RMC steel, twister. I still have d c m o n w g i i i to fit into the code if it were steel storm. Not using the generator just a pencil but I suspect if it's not the name of the coaster it could be a hint at what it is... There's a chance if we decode it , it would not be the name but the machine type itself which we already know. You cannot spell the words New England, apocalypse, Cyclone, or Warning (Obviously) These 3 i's are killing me but I love puzzles, riddles and codes! Beats the hell out of SFFTs stupid game There's no a in the scramble, not sure where you two are seeing it... Lots of smart people on here, use your noodles!

camthedominator Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that there are a lot of roller coasters named after torrents of any sort. I mean there's Cyclone, Twister, Hurricane, Thunderbolt, Lighting ect... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega_Coaster_77 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 So the park is packed today Some of the WORST ops I have ever seen the fp line for bizarro is like almost 50 people long I don't even know why I'm still in line! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camthedominator Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I fell so bad for you. I have had the Bizarro incident happen to me but I have never been on a crowded day, but I heard from a friend who goes to Sandusky that the lines at Six Flags New England can rival the ones at Cedar point on the right day.

RyanTPM Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Strange that there is no Y in the letters. Maybe that's just to throw us off though, i'm still going with Iron Cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic Name Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 One name I would be very surprised to see being used is Twister, considering we had a tornado strike Springfield a few years ago, and I still hear about cleanup stories till this day on the evening news. I'm not saying Six Flags won't use Twister (or Tornado or any variation of those two), but I'm not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'm going to say "New England Apocalypse" for Six flags New England's RMC coaster since they already have a coaster named "Goliath". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camthedominator Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Yeah, your right, that is a very nice name for the coaster. I can actually see Six Flags doing that. Also Six Flags has never used that name so it would be logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT goes back to school tomorrow. Not sure about Mass. NY has 1 more week left. That's why. I went on a WEEKDAY in late August a few years ago and it was hell.

ECZenith Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 "Steel Storm Is Coming" leaves behind DKWEIU "We Kid U" ? Just a couple weeks ago I was saying I believe the name would be storm related but no longer Cyclone, which I feel, feels too retro for such a transition. With "New Cyclone" or "Iron Cyclone" being a little reminiscent of last year's RMC projects, I was hoping for a "Storm" name vs. Cyclone, considering we get Hurricanes and severe storms here in New England, Cyclones are the mirrored version of Hurricanes in the opposite hemisphere but don't quote my meteorology...
