atem122 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It's not a roller coaster or even ride for that matter (kill me), but the best name ever is the mexican restaurant at Knott's Fiesta BBQ: Mexican Food Riddler's Revenge is also a really cool name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 This isn't a ride per se, but I love how Disneyland lists all thei coasters as "rollercoaster type rides". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiveForTheLaunch Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Kingda Ka, Dominator, El Toro, Phantom's Revenge, Behemoth, Troy, Prowler, and Goliath (even though it's terribly overused now). There are tons more that I am probably forgetting, though. Anything with "hawk" in it is automatic lose now though, it is getting so overused.

cal1br3tto Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Apparently Corkscrew at Knott's/Silverwood was called "Gravity Defying Corkscrew" for a while. Now that, in my mind, is just cute. It makes it sound like a circus act or something really amazing (which it was, when it was new!). Here's another cute one, from the old days: "Giant Safety Coaster". ??? I don't get it. Other than the obvious...but even then, who would ever think of putting "Safety" in a coaster's name? Perplexing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollercoastercraziness Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I think the asians know how to do it! My vote is on roller coaster! I mean who would have even thought of that name! its soooo original! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I vote for Top Thrill Dragster. Precise and to the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Italy Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Katun The italian inverted in the Mayan City. Themed like a Mayan ruin. You pass through a "Stargate" at the beginning and end of the ride. A "Katun" is a period of 7200 days (approximately 20 years) in the Maya calendar.

osm Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I vote Happy Valley Shanghai as the most creative ride namers on the planet. I mean, how do you get the inspiration for brilliant titles like Dive Machine or Mega-Lite? But in all seriousness, I like most of Busch Gardens' names; Alpengeist, Montu, Griffon, SheiKra, Kumba, as well as Nitro, Behemoth, X2, iSpeed, El Toro, Maverick, Katun, and Blue Fire. I only seem to like the names of good coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Well, even though it's not even opened yet, I'll have to say that Untamed is a pretty cool name. Quite fitting for a compact Gerstlauer Eurofighter. And as for World Joyland (That park in China with the B&M Flyer)... well, I personally think they've gone above and beyond at naming, with coaster names like Dragon Soaring the Sky, Mystery in Clouds, Starry Sky Ripper...

The SETGO Guys Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well its not Cheetah hunt! I really like the name Nitro, Its one of my favorite elements (yeah I'm a nerd) and it just is a great name overall! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braztaz Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I've always loved Apollo's Chariot and Alpengeist. Pretty much all names Busch (other than Cheetah Hunt) comes up with. Six Flags can come up with some good names, but whenever they do they reuse it on 10 different coasters and it loses it's effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreos Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Oblivion. Colossus as well. Even though the name Colossus is used on many coasters, it's still a pretty cool name IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
