coasterchitchat Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Cedar Fair filed for an interesting new trademark this week to use the name “Rougarou” in their theme parks. I’ve no clue yet just which park may get to use this name, but Rougarou is the French name for Werewolf. The use of the French name could be a hint that it could end up at Canada's Wonderland, but who knows? Here's the parks that could get this name for the new park. 1) Canada's Wonderland: B&M Wing Rider with wolves on the track. Likely since there in Canada. 2) Cedar Point: RMC woodie and theme it to the insane wolves. Not likely since it's gonna replace Mean Streak and why would they put something French in the Frontier Town? That seems kinda weird. 3) Worlds Of Fun: What if they RMCed TImberwolf and rethemed it Rougarou? Still has wolves in the theming right? I don't see this coming. Comment below on what which Cedar Fair park will get "Rougarou" as their next ride's name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atter Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Maybe it's the name to a dark ride, something similar to Wonder Mountain's Guardian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 ^^Canada's Wonderland is not part of Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLCPfan Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I thought loup garou was the French name for werewolf, as in the roller coaster at Walibi Belgium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarienLaker Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Hmm, maybe Cedar Point wants to use the name "Rougarou" for their new dark ride if they're ever going to get it!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I would agree that it seems to make the most since that this could be for the Wonder Mountain type installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GigaG Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I thought loup garou was the French name for werewolf, as in the roller coaster at Walibi Belgium. Just thought of that- Could this also be a haunt name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 To end the debate between Rougarou and Loup Garou - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rougarou Both are accepted. Anyways, I'm on board with the dark ride idea. I'm also gonna throw out Knott's as we know there's construction in the old Kingdom Of The Dinosaurs building. Boom.

Schwarzillard Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 First post- whoo! I think the knots idea is interesting and probably accurate. However I could see CGA or even KD get this as a dark ride because that is one area in which they are lacking, and (for CGA) the name could quite possibly indicate that is going near demon.

coasterchitchat Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 Just to admit, I'd a like a French wolf-themed dark ride at CP or KBF next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janko828 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 this could be for Cedar Point because a couple of days ago Tony Clark posted a picture of wood and captioned it "what does it mean??!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The49er Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 My best guess is a haunt maze at Wonderland, but hey, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobotsEatElectrons Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Aren't Cedar Point and Kings Island constructing buildings that are expected to be haunt mazes? Sounds like a great name for a new haunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Please be a new wooden coaster for Cedar Point! Or something like WMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I'm putting my money on the new dark ride for Knott's. They're basically spoon-feeding it to us now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Aren't Cedar Point and Kings Island constructing buildings that are expected to be haunt mazes? Sounds like a great name for a new haunt. Haunt name wouldn't be trademarked unless it was going to be for a year round haunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Just did some more research on Rougarou. Apparently, the Rougarou is under a spell for 101 days. A coaster with a drop of 325+ feet could achieve speeds of approximately 101 mph. Just throwing that out there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 ^Or maybe 101 feet tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
