slappybob Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Oh, my bad I thought it was about hunting cheetahs but the name is still really bad
tiger01 Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 I don't think Cheetah Hunt is a bad name. Yeah sure Cheetaka would have been better, but the name could have been worse. The 'Pepsi max big one' is in my opinion the worst. Its such a fairground rollercoaster name that comes every year up town sort of name.
DougMJr Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Ride of Steel at Darien Lake. When they lost the Rights to Superman they did the most unamaginitve re-name ever.
Tanks4me05 Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 ^^Though I agree, (I think renaming it Speed Monster, and repainting the track dark blue and the supports black would be awesome) it's obvious that they wanted to keep the ride as recognizable as possible with the public; we all know how easy it is to make the public think that the old ride was demolished and a new one was put in simply by changing the name, color, and adding on-board audio.
The49er Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Anything at Chimelong Paradise, or Flight Deck. Non-coasterwise, Drop Tower.
TJ27 Posted December 30, 2011 Posted December 30, 2011 Son of Beast is the only one that comes to mind. For some reason I don't think it fits the ride and it's named after a ride at the same park. A 7-year old could come up with a better name.

dominoes Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 I haven't been to many places, so in my point of view it has to be Stealth at Thorpe Park. Name: Planes, secrets (stealthy), army possibly? Actual theme: Trucks and concrete.

SixFlagsNewOrleans Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Cyclone. Must be a billion Cyclone names.
B.A.B Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 Two coaster names I hate is Wildcat, which is a name used to much. I also hate Invertigo, becuase it is used to much also.
XYZ Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 Ride of Steel at Darien Lake. When they lost the Rights to Superman they did the most unamaginitve re-name ever. I agree with Doug, Ride of Steel is a horrible name, that is like Son of Beast named "Ride of Wood" (Now, Son of Beast sounds like a nice name)
coastercrazy 9 Posted January 2, 2012 Posted January 2, 2012 I always hated the Dark Knight at SFGAdv because it confuses the G.P. so much because of the other Batman ride right next door.

coasterfansince1999 Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Probably Goliath. They are using it too many times.
Movieguy Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Ride of steel is definitely lame. With all the natural beauty of Upstate, they could have taken inspiration for a better name. How about Drop Tower instead of Drop Zone as well? Oh, and instead of Eejanaika, how about we find out what the japanese phrase for "F*** this ride!" (As Robb so eloquently put it) is, so we can call it that instead?

(As Robb so eloquently put it) is, so we can call it that instead? Google translate says its "Kono nori-gokochi o fakku". We could shorten it to just "Fakku".
cal1br3tto Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 ^Except Dinoconda. But hold the praise for the park; one of their other coasters is named "Whirling Dinosaur Car."
Coaster Cordalis Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 The one I like most: "Fuwa Fuwa Osora No Dai-Bouken (Fuji-Q Highland, Japan)" - to be honest, I've got no idea what it means, I read somewhere about it that it's something profane like "Hamster Coaster", but it sounds quite pretentious ("Why don't you like me anymore?" - "Well, I think you got so pretentious." - "Pretentious, moi...?").
Movieguy Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Anything in China. Case in point: "Super Speed Cool Cool Bear...Come on! Don't hesitate!"
