coasterchitchat Posted July 3, 2014 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.
Atter Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 Maybe it's the name to a dark ride, something similar to Wonder Mountain's Guardian.
larrygator Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 ^^Canada's Wonderland is not part of Quebec, the French speaking part of Canada.
StLCPfan Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 I thought loup garou was the French name for werewolf, as in the roller coaster at Walibi Belgium.
DarienLaker Posted July 3, 2014 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!?
KI Kidd Posted July 3, 2014 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.
GigaG Posted July 3, 2014 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?
KBrylczyk Posted July 3, 2014 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 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 Posted July 3, 2014 Just to admit, I'd a like a French wolf-themed dark ride at CP or KBF next year.
KBrylczyk Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 ^ Whoah, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Nobody wants a French anything. Not even the French.
janko828 Posted July 3, 2014 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??!"
GigaG Posted July 3, 2014 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??!" Iron Streak?
KBrylczyk Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 ^^ Wood. It means wood. Tweet he's talking about - https://twitter.com/TonyClarkCP/status/481147151011958785/photo/1
The49er Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 My best guess is a haunt maze at Wonderland, but hey, you never know.

RobotsEatElectrons Posted July 4, 2014 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.
gerstlaueringvar Posted July 4, 2014 Posted July 4, 2014 Please be a new wooden coaster for Cedar Point! Or something like WMG.
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 4, 2014 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.
Jew Posted July 4, 2014 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.
JonnyRCT3 Posted July 4, 2014 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....
