hyyyper Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I like the sound of Banana Roll, but in the style of Drachen Fire and this being pretty much just being an over-inverted cutback, maybe it should just be called an "Inclined Cutback"? Hmmm, not sure. A cutback is basically two corkscrews put together, while this looks more like a top-hat. So that would it make it an inclined-tophat. But I'm down with Banana-roll as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) I cast my vote for Banana Roll as well Of course coaster enthusiasts would approve anything that has to do with food! Edited April 7, 2011 by robbalvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Looks like a "Loose Cobra" But quite a few jokes come to mind with that phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnome Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I thought of this element 38 years ago. Before it went mainstream? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ledgy Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 ^So I can take KT over to Thomas Town to play without her having to wait in queue's with us for hours and hours! In fact, you are one of the few persons who does have the privilege to go playing at Thomas Town, while the rest of us will wait in line for you, too And, I don´t know much about the lines overthere, but maybe we come around Thomas Town a few times, so you can join us in the last round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) I can see it now - Coaster enthusiasts from around the world have waited six hours for a train with people to go through an unknown element on Fuji-Q Highland's brand new Gerstlauer coaster. They decided that it was not worth it anymore, and started to turn around and leave. But, as they had their backs turned, a train with one person in it went through the element! They scrambled back to their positions, and waited again. Now, four hours later, they're still waiting. Apparently, Fuji-Q Highland was only running one train and only letting one person on the ride at a time, and they were bleaching and disinfecting the train for five hours while it was in the station, all while hundreds of people waited for their ride.

Gav Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 On another board I heard the term "Shoehorn" suggested as a name...I reckon its a good one, a single word that hits the nail on the head, and it doesn't have the pointless "Roll" word at the end.

steven6995 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 I agree. Shoehorn is a very clever name for that element. I cast my vote for shoehorn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulm12 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Holy crap it looks like a Lazy-G-Roll. Looks intense and fun, but still. Looks like this one element I downloaded for NL, always called a IOTH (Inside-Out Top Hat). If you think about it, the 2nd one is like the first one bending over tho. CAT (Crazy @$$ turnover) I'm not writing what the acronym is (Super High Inverting Twist) *ATF (Acid Trip Flip)*HALT HAFR (High as F-)never mind... And what's up with that non inverting/ half inverting cobra roll...now Naming it... Shoehorn was cool, so was Banana roll. Maybe CobraBankedTurn/Roll. Looks more like a banana split though due to its both sides... "Horny" inversion nonetheless "WTF" - Wicked Top Flip. was also excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderCoverDrummer1 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I can't post links yet, however you should all go and search "fuji-q-new-coaster" on youtube and check out the first two videos. Your minds will be BLOWN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 ^ Um, I tried looking for the first two videos of the "new coaster" and all I found were videos of Eejanaika, their 4-D coaster which has been operating since what, 2006? With up to 3-hour waits for it too, depending on the weather, the ride ops... The new Eurofighter probably isn't even finished being built, let alone testing. From what I've found on the net about it. Just my opinion, here. Anybody else have new vid or pix, taken lately? ^^ And Barry? I like it! "Fred."

QueerRudie Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Dog Tongue? Will it drool all over you and then need to use the lawn? That might be one of the WORST names I've ever seen for an element!
