Goliath513 Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Superman the ___ Batman the ___ Rollercoaster Xpress (they had the opportunity to change it and they wasted the chance) Boomerang (there are too many of those) Corkscrew Dragon Twister Flying Coaster
Manny In England Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Xcellerator - the X does not make it sound cool. Blue Fall - It's blue and it falls, well done, I hope you feel proud of yourself whichever commity named it.
FLIPDUDE Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I think ANY ride at bonbonland take the cake. Imean, dog fart coaster?
Sunfire Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I'm with you, Tomi. The rides at Bonbonland are way f'ed up. But I think the worst name for a coaster has to be The Flying Coaster. That name has no originality whatsoever. Why not name it "Eagle" or "Jet?" That would make more sense.

SFGAFan4 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Miner Mike clones.. lol who created that name? Sounds like Bob the Builder.
premierrider Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I think anything named Coaster or Clone names are horrible
WillMontu Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 There's nothing wrong with the Dog Fart Coaster. What is it themed to? A dog farting. What could be more appropriate? As for naming rides "Roller coaster", I know some of the older coasters have that name because back in the day many rides were named that, but the renaming of Manhattan Express to that seems backwards and unoriginal. Manhattan Express stood out (though not in a positive way among enthusiasts) Other bad names: 7Up Shockwave at Drayton Manor (at least they renamed it to just Shockwave) Boomerang (the one at Wild Adventures is a slight exception as it is in an Outback themed area) Corkscrew
kraxleRIDAH Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 I dislike the name Scream! I mean, it's not an object, it's not a historical figure, it's not some terrifying beast or creature, it's not a description of something huge or powerful. It's named after a verb telling you to do something. Any less creative would be a floorless coaster named Sit!
Manny In England Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Sadly a park in China have a ride called "Over Water Roller Coaster." I bet you can't guess where it is.
bgwfreak Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 "Anything: The Ride" This says to the public....hey! we want to use someone else's creativity and ideas and just slap "The Ride" on the end of it and voila, a ride name! It's such a lazy way of naming something IMO. Also, any ride or coaster with a corporate sponsor name in the name of the ride. The Pepsi Plunge?
dr.gumbo Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 ^ Or the inspiration came from a classic Bon Jovi album Never heard of it! (still a bad name)
eBen Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Anything that is sponsored by anything or named after some film or TV whatsitsname, Batman for instance - and who will buy soap because of a theme park ride??? Bling as for Bling you must not have noticed the 'themeing' hanging from the moving platform. All that chain that hides well over 10% of the concrete under the ride platform and I'm sure is sparkled for a few weeks after they installed it at least And for the record the Dog Fart Coaster is one of the greatest names i have ever heard.
JamesMC Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Any ride named after a movie or t.v. show or Corporate sponser. I don't want to ride Sony Splashdown, "The Wedding Crashers" bumper cars or experience "Frasier: The Ride".
IceDragon Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Any ride named after a movie or t.v. show or Corporate sponser. I don't want to ride Sony Splashdown, "The Wedding Crashers" bumper cars or experience "Frasier: The Ride". How about: 'Jerry Springer: The Ride'
SpartanTS Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Any ride named after a movie or t.v. show or Corporate sponser. I don't want to ride Sony Splashdown, "The Wedding Crashers" bumper cars or experience "Frasier: The Ride". How about: 'Jerry Springer: The Ride' I think I'd be up for a Jerry Springer Ride.
Coasterlvr_nc Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Sadly a park in China have a ride called "Over Water Roller Coaster." I bet you can't guess where it is. Wait! I've got this one.... its underground isnt it!

You may have to dodge a few chairs that pass close by overhead...

Manny In England Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Although they're not ride names, I feel the slogans at Oakwood, Wales should get a mention. These three are all great rides with good names but Oakwood seem to have a problem with sensible slogans. Megafobia - Thrills beyond Fear Speed - No Limits Hydro - Water's Revenge
DCody Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 "Furius Baco" always makes me snicker. "Willard's Whizzer" (now just "Whizzer") sounds dirty.
