DarienLaker Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Twisted ColossusWicked Cyclone Honestly, I'm just going to continue calling them Colossus and Cyclone. Seriously. Those are awful names, especially TC They should have called it "The New Colossus" instead. Six Flags just can't remodel a coaster then call it "New (insert ride's name here), that is just as bad putting some brand/property and adding the words "The Ride" to it. If you ask me I think Six Flags is running low on ideas for new ride names instead recycling old ones (like Goliath) and/or putting the words "Chaos Coaster" to a Super Loop flat ride!

gerstlaueringvar Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I still think YOLOssus is the best name for TC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiMiT Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I'm still a fan of Super Speed Cool Cool Bear. No ride name will ever be better than that. I don't know why, but I was really bothered by the wild mouse at Wild Adventures, which was called "Go Bananas!" All of the other coasters at the park have decent names, but this one...wat?

Generic Name Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I forgot to mention Helix. Beautiful coaster and it looks very fun from the POVs, but the name sucks. It's like naming a ride "Vertical Loop", "Airtime Hill", or everyone's favorite, Corkscrew. At least it has a helix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossus2 The New Colossus is the poem on the Statue of Liberty welcoming newcomers to the United States. The coaster could have been given an American theme, and the name would be a nod to a piece of Americana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneaky Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I think this one also deserves to be mentioned: Wallis's Wonderful Wriggling Wirral Wacky Worm rcdb.com/2730.htm The name is almost bigger than the ride itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharman19 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Cedar Point is the ground of terrible names. Here are my thoughts. Ocean Motion: What? Blue Streak: Overused. Windseeker: lives up to its name when it closes for high winds. Mantis: Sounds like a kiddie ride to me. Corkscrew: How Original! Top Thrill Dragster: I see what you did there. Millennium Force: How come it's not as intense as I305? Magnum XL-200: What's next, M-60 Thrillinator!? Slingshot: How Original! (again) Snoopy Bounce: Just call it Snoopy's bounce party!

Speaking of Cedar Fair in general, here are my thoughts on their bad ride names .Flight Deck: Sounds like something for motion simulator ride. .Skyrider: Not really an appropriate name for a stand up coaster .Bat: O.K. for a suspended, flying, Wing Rider,or any other inverted coaster, but not for a boomerang coaster! .Time Warp: How "Original"! .Woodstock Express: Overused. (note to Kings Island, rename your "Woodstock Express" coaster back to "Beastie"!) .Steel Force: How "Original"! (again) .Backlot Stunt Coaster: Even worse than "Italian Job: Stun Track", come on how about a better name for those coasters! .Wilderness Run: Despite the fact the name of this kiddie coaster has changed to something lamer than "Jr. Gemini", I'm still going to refer to it by its old name. .Spinning Dragons: I see what you did there.

fraroc Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I never understood why the Intamin Half Pipe in The Mall of America is named "Avatar Airbender" I mean, they should have named it by the show's full name "Avatar: The Last Airbender-The Ride" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Helix is a very good name, sounds so high-tech. Agree to disagree. I personally think it's unoriginal and sounds like Liseberg ran out of names for rides. At least it isn't Dark Ride like these three coasters: http://rcdb.com/1422.htm http://rcdb.com/2395.htm http://rcdb.com/8657.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is steel force not original. I love the name. Time warp really isn't used a lot either. And I personally love the name Mantis and it's logo.

Sharman19 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 This one is called "Cobra Roller Coaster" but there is literally no themeing at all to a cobra, and it doesn't even have a cobra roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharman19 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Altair CCW-0204 is a pretty bad name in my opinion, it is just too much to say. So let's just call it Altair so we can say "Hey dude! You wanna go on Altair?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
