TwinsGP Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I saw a user write this in a few forums. I can't remember the user's name, but it bugged the hell outta me for a while and I still can't figure it out. Thanks a bunch in advance!
dandaman Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Laser Snake Horse on Fire. It was the name of (I believe) Wes' photoshopped idea of what eventually became Diamondback. EDIT: Found the link. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=618919#618919 In all its magnificent glory.
cfc Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I'm still shocked that no other park has picked up this awesome concept.
SharkTums Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 ^Oh but they have! We discovered a 'new' roller coaster in the middle of the city of Chengdu, China. We emailed Duane and told him that it's name was Laser Snake Horse on Fire. For some reason he didn't believe it. Personally, as yet another generic chinese kiddie coaster, I feel that as the discoverers we should get to English name it!!!!!

Wes Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Laser Snake Horse on Fire. It was the name of (I believe) Wes' photoshopped idea of what eventually became Diamondback. EDIT: Found the link. http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=618919#618919 For the sake of total accuracy, the name was a combination of every theming idea people thought the ride was going to be. KI did a good job of trying to trick people, so their teasers had references to snakes, horses, and something about like laser vision or infrared. The Photoshop was done solely as a joke to make people calm down about the name and theme at the time. I added the "On Fire" bit, because everything is better on fire. Glad it stuck around!

They were even turned into the most popular t-shirt on the market! Hotness!

Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci got to name America, why can't you christen an unnamed kiddie coaster "Laser Snake Horse on Fire"?
larrygator Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 ^^WOW, that's an incredibly awesome photo. Thanks for the in-depth coverage.
Reon Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 ^^^Beat me to it. I love how we wore those to the press release and actually got recognized as a club because of that! I still wear mine all the time, but its starting to fade.
