Jive Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Wacky Worm and Silly Serpent at WoF. They're not actually funny but they're trying real hard.
BrownStreak Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 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. I have a recipe for a dish called Inverted Nachos- I should sell it to a park with an inverted coaster- that would be such a great name for a nearby snack cart!
viking86 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 I think this one beats 'Screw Coaster' http://www.rcdb.com/id1808.htm Jet Screw Coaster
ECZenith Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Any coaster with a name like "Coaster" "Roller Coaster" and "Thrill Coaster" is funny because no creativity went into what is usually a huge investment for parks.
martinb Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Any coaster with a name like "Coaster" "Roller Coaster" and "Thrill Coaster" is funny because no creativity went into what is usually a huge investment for parks. Most coaster that are called "Coaster" or "Rollercoaster" were built in the early coaster years when there was only 1 type of coaster about.....the Rollercoaster, so for them to be called Rollercoaster would be a huge investment! But in saying that if a park named a coaster "Rollercoaster" that opened 1990+ then I would agree with what your saying!
Norcal783 Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 hey would you like ride Coaster with me?.....eh...doesn't sound right.
MattJackson Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Kingda Ka seems like a pretty cool name, that is until you look up the translation!! Kingda Ka is Swahili for either “lose your lunch” or “omigod, what a ride“!! who'da thunk it? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/05/20/earlyshow/leisure/main696741.shtml The name, says Axelrod, "roughly translates into 'lose your lunch' in Swahili. And there's something said at the bottom of the report I really hope is true...
waterviper Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Ok Japan probably wins the most funniest coaster names ever! Just to name a few... Thunder Dolphin Panic Drive Birdmen (extinct) Big Boom Boogie-woogie space coaster One of the funniest ones I have heard ...and here is a RCDB exclusive: Slope Car! Here is a pic of it!
Steffen_Dk Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 I think the funniest name i "Kållerado" in Liseberg, Sweden. In English it means Colorado, but I think it looks so stupid, they have turned the way to spell it into Swedish. The second funniest name i Bonbon lands "Klaptorsken", which means silly ass, and if you understand the name i Danish the theme is extremely funny
Fry Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Kumali at Flamingoland always appealed to my immature side. It's more it's pet name though, Kummy.
SpeedMonster Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Pretty much any English translation of a Japanese coaster name is always interesting. Something like "Crazy Wild Speeding Bullet Car" usually results. But for actual names: BORG Assimilator, Kingda Ka (especially considering it's actual translation ), and Moonsault Scramble.
Casper Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I think the funniest name i "Kållerado" in Liseberg, Sweden. In English it means Colorado, but I think it looks so stupid, they have turned the way to spell it into Swedish. It's actually a wordplay on the name Kålle, which is a nickname for the name Karl only used in Gothenburg. Kålle is also a character used in a set of Gothenburg-based jokes that are well known throughout Sweden.
niiicolaaah Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Boomerang Coast-To-Coaster Serial Thriller Python Pit (I mean, c'mon!) Rita: Queen of Speed non-coaster: Hydro - Water's Revenge
coaster mad Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Rita: Queen of Speed Yeh i agree like come on its just 60 MPH
dragoncoaster1292 Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Happy Family Coaster! http://www.rcdb.com/id3222.htm
Morcar Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 I agree that Roller Coaster (BPB) is a very lame name really but it used to be called (in it's original incarnation) Velvet Coaster which sounds quite sexy really. That is considering how old it is.
Jonathan Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 http://www.rcdb.com/ig1429.htm?picture=5 WTF? Do they praise the coaster Gods? Could someone explain to me what exactly is going on there? Can you sit down in line or something?
