Funniest Ride and Coaster Names

[Movieguy]

Are there any ride names out there that just make you want to laugh each time you hear them?

 

One that gets me every time is, of course, "Screw Coaster" at Nara Dreamland. Another one I get a chuckle out of is "Montezuma's Revenge" at Knotts Berry Farm, because as some of you may know, Montezuma's Revenge can be used as a euphemism for a certain kind of digestive disorder.

If Speed Monster's name was in Norwegian, it would be quite funny for you; Fart Monster

Brief Encounter! at Beech Bend

Insect-a-Slide at Wild Adventures made me laugh when I first heard it.

 

Top Chill Snowcones and Race For the Fry at Cedar Point. COME ON, THOSE ARE AWESOME PUNS. But they aren't rides.. so maybe they don't count.

 

Unfortunately I can't think of anymore.

This doesn't exist, but I wish Six Flags would get "Batman: The Boomerang."

I think Cornball Express is a funny name. Also Rita: Queen of Speed, when i first heard it i thought it was hilarious!

Spinball Whizzer

[chavslayer]

Grampus Jet. WTF!

[martinb]

Flying Fish

 

The funniest thing is, when the coaster finished, a recorded voice would say "Thank you for Flying the Fish"

Take a look at the drop after the loop, is that for real?

 

I bet that hurts

 

 

Another funny ride name, Thorpe Parks pirate ship:

 

Mr Monkeys Banana Boat (Coolest themed pirate ship EVER)

 

More funny names, visit www.pleasurewood.com

 

They recently renamed all their rides,

 

Log Flume is now "Mellow Yellow"

Pirate Ship is now "Shiver Me Timbers"

Fireball is now "Whizzy Dizzy"

Rattlesnake is now "Snake in the Grass"

Waltzer is now "Walt Sir"

How could you forget the infamous Houndeprutt (sp?) aka Dog Fart Coaster?

 

I think that Hershey's Roller Soaker should have been named the "Hershey Squirts" as you get squirted on a Hershey Park coaster.

 

Also, let's not forget Whizzer that was at PGA and at SFGA. As you know, it's known for jokes like "I have to take a whizzer" and stuff like that...now thinking about it, the name "Willard's Whizzer" doesn't sound too right either.

WTF? Do they praise the coaster Gods?

I always thought the coaster Regina at Tobu Zoo was pretty funny. I mean imagine saying, "Lets go ride Regina!"

[downunder]

I always thought calling a Vekoma SLC Mind Eraser was particularly apt.

 

Magnum XL-200 - named after a latex product, those bunny hops are likely to render a man into a state of not needing this product.

[Movieguy]

When I first heard of the "Magnum"...I seriously thought of that old TV show, "Magnum P.I"

Dude, it's gotta be the WWF: Smackdown S&S drop tower! Or Playstation: The Ride.

You know, I heard a rumor, that back when the now-defunct WCW was still around, they were gonna put a WCW Nitro themed coaster in one of the Six Flags parks...

 

...Maybe that's where SFGadv's "Nitro" got it's name from...

[rollermonkey]

^Loop Screw is actually pretty good. I have POV, I need more edumacation on the compewter so I can fit it under 30mb.

 

I like the end results of a lot of translated coaster names:

Through the Woods Jet Coaster

MoMonGo Standing and Loop Coaster (Momongo is Japanese for flying squirrel.)

 

Of course there's always the mouthful we usually refer to as the Hamster Coaster.

[sfmmFREAK]

i'm surpirsed there hasn't been as mutch mention of dog fart coaster

[ebl]

^ Actually, there was. Read the entire thread c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y...

 

What about "X" at SFMM? Why not...M? Or G?

There's one called "Orphan Rocker" in Australia. It was built back in the 80's but hasn't opened yet.

[Nrthwnd]

In Vancouver, our coaster is called...

 

Coaster

 

 

Actually - that's not very funny, is it? Sad, depressing, un-original, yes. Funny? Probably not..... Not even amusing, at best. Hmmm. Maybe, at worst... and on and on and on...

 

[Tömmioh]

^ Yeah, so is mine local coaster...

 

There are some quite funny named coasters in Japan.

ie. See Through Coaster

Bullfight Rollercoaster Matador

 

'Rythmical Coaster'

for some unknown reason this name makes me laugh.

 

Another name I came to think of is Linnanmäki's coaster 'Linnunrata, which would be translated to 'Birds' track', if you wouldn't know the context of the word correctly. Knowing it, it would be translated to 'Milky Way' (it's a space themed coaster), I still think the name is a bit stupid.
