CedarFanboy Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Why did they rename Rebel Yell? Is it because it has Rebel in it? Also Apple Zapple??? I assume they renamed rebel yell because of its confederate ties. I've seen quite a few complaints about the name, and the park has the perfect opportunity right now to change it.

thrillseeker4552 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Racer 75 isn’t the worst name in the world (Cedar Fair likes their “noun + #”), but Apple Zapple is just terrible. It’s nice to see rides getting refurbishments though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLCHeadache Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Blah on the name changes, except Racer 75. A nod to, while staying distinct, from Kings Island's Racer. And they're distinguishing their mouse coaster from Carowinds's mouse coaster which is not even the same model (KD's is the large park layout while Carowinds's is the compact layout) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleRiderCam Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I can't wait for Cedar Point to rename Maverick to Steak Breaker with the opening of Steel Vengeance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Why did they rename Rebel Yell? Is it because it has Rebel in it? Also Apple Zapple??? Because rebel is apparently racist now and the SJWs cant have that, instead they want sh*t names like Racer 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philrad71 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Stop bitching and quit overlooking the "create your own mac and cheese bowls". Get your priorities straight, people! And yes, I love the names & retheme...Apple Zapple. Sounds like someone was high. lol Edited February 2, 2018 by Philrad71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABW Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have no problem with the new names, any attempt to spruce up an area of the park should be taken as a positive, in my opinion. Especially in a park, such as KD, which needs more thematic consistency. (Who the hell thought putting I305 in the "Congo" section was a good idea??) P.S. Going after SJW's is like shooting fish in barrel. It's too easy. We know they're stupid. I don't need to be reminded they're stupid. That's kind of my take on it. I know nobody asked, but I kind of wish more people took that approach to it rather than a pissing contest. Those who've been on the internet long enough should know what I'm talking about.

Keetz Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Apple Zapple sounds like a bug zapper that sprays apple scented pheromones to attract and kill bugs. I hope it is themed as such. I'm glad the whole area surrounding these three coasters is getting some love. The pavers will look way better than the asphalt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScreaminNewEngland Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Renaming Rebel Yell is just absolutely ridiculous. Other than the name changes, everything else seemed like great improvements! Oh and Apple Zapple just killed me a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Welp. Twisted Timbers is now ruined by these terrible names. First of all, Apple Zapple is the greatest coaster name ever so learn to embrace it and let Apple Zapple into your heart. Second of all, what the f*ck are you on about? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterburner Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) Between Apple Zapple and Kiddie Hawk, Cedar Fair is really going all in with the cornball family coaster names. I love it. Edited February 3, 2018 by Afterburner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Okay, I super love Apple Zapple. That is awesome. As for Racer 75....eh, not in love with it. I do heartily approve of the de-Confederatizing of everything, especially near the Confederate capital. Loving Dolly Parton's Stampede too. So the answer is 152 years to the question "How long will it take the South to realize they lost?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The names are okay... not really a fan of racer 75... but I'll get used to it. Sad the cheesesteaks are gone for a mac and cheese bar, but again... that's just me. You folks local to Dominion are very lucky to have such a nice park. The pavers are going to be really nice for you. Our Coney Mall at Kings Island was redone a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
