kiruler102 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 This has always boggled my mind, even since they changed the names of the rides who here is accidentally or on purpose call the ride by its original name because it comes right off my tounge of the original name so here it goes. Would you call it...... Drop Tower OR Drop Zone Tomb raider the ride OR The crypt Face Off Or Inverigo Top Gun OR Flight Deck i just thought i would throw that out there knowing that i have been going to Kings Island for 9 years and have called them the names they have always been and even since they changed the names i will probably call them the name they have alwys been send me your opinions Quote
iChase Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I think the names are only a fraction of it. For a like Tomb Raider it would depend on what they did with the theming for The Crypt. Anyway... Drop Zone Not really sure, don't know how The Crypt fits its theming. Face/Off Flight Deck isn't too bad. I just hope they add (or restore) some scenery. Quote
Guest rcfreak339 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Personally, I think all the ride names are pretty good, but Drop Tower will always be Drop Zone to me. Also, Flight Deck needs a renovation bad, like in its early years it really felt like you where about to get on a flighter jet and I wish it could become that way again. A new coat of paint would be nice too! Quote
iChase Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 A new coat of paint would do wonders for that poor ride. I would love to see the under station queue opened up again. I certainly would fit in with the new title. Quote
Browntggrr Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I could care less about the ride names. I pay to enjoy the park, and the rides they provide. How the ride is named will not change how much I enjoy the park or the ride itself. Quote
Tuskin Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Same with me, the name does not change the experience of the ride to me Quote
PKIVortex Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I agree a name is just a name. At least they didn't call it Rollercoaster 1, Rollercoaster 2 etc. LOL Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 For now I have been calling it: Drop Zone The Crypt Invertigo Flight Deck. Although I'm probably going to go get my pass processed, and as soon as i see Invertigo I'll scream: "Face/Off! Ohh baby how long has it been!" then I'll spot the new sign and in reaction say: "Ohh, yea. Bummer." Quote
Phantom Theater Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Im gonna call them by their new names because its the start of something new.Anyway,me and my mom didnt like paramount.Weve been to Cedar Point and it was great,and KI last year was better than any other year at Kings Island! Quote
italianchef Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Being a journalist, I am very aware of new names and events. It's my job. So I'll go with the new names and honestly prefer them. Quote
Beast1979 Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 I am glad Paramount is gone but I am so used to those names I still call them by their former names sometimes. Quote
BavarianBeatle Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 In time I'm sure I will get used to the new names. I have no problem with FOC or Wild Thornberry's, so it won't take me long. In 2 weeks, I will just be happy to be there and the names won't really matter. Quote
Jasper Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 I have only 3 says on this Topic. Drop Zone Top Gun Face Off Those are really the only 3 i care about. Quote
welchce Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 There are other Inverigos out there, so that shouldn't be too bad. Crypt is a lot shorter and quicker to say than Tomb Raider:The Ride. I think the hardest to get used to is saying Flight Deck instead of Top Gun, at least for me. It always used to be the first ride I would go on with it's closeness to the front of the park. Quote
clbehymer Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I am so horrible at new names... I still call FOF Outer Limits Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I keep referring to the rides by their "original" names, too. I can't cross over from IJST to BLSC. Can't do it. Yet. Quote
Tuskin Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 I agree a name is just a name. At least they didn't call it Rollercoaster 1, Rollercoaster 2 etc. LOL I still would not care if they did hahaha .. I would just think roller coaster tycoon more ... does anyone else ever get that feeling of wanting to play roller coaster tycoon while you are waiting in line at KI? I sure do haha Quote
iChase Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 ^Absolutely! I actually play it every time I get done at the park. Quote
SOB_TOM Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 "A rose by any other name still smells as sweet." As long as the rides dont really change, Im happy. Quote
DeLorean Rider Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 "A rose by any other name still smells as sweet." As long as the rides dont really change, Im happy. Yea but the changes they've made to tomb raider are really a thorn in the side. Tomb Raider will always be Tomb Raider nomatter how ****ty it becomes; it's part of the rides nature. I'll probably simplify IJs new acronym to BS aswell... Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 My wife and I still call Boomerang Bay "WaterWorks". Our daughter, who was 2 last year, was even calling it that last year. I guess at some point we'll have to change since eventually her friends will be like "WaterWorks? What's that?" Quote

I guess at some point we'll have to change since eventually her friends will be like "WaterWorks? What's that?" Ya i was calling it the same thing but i think i will have some difficulty calling the names there new names like Drop Tower its always gonna be drop zone Top Gun ALWAYS Invertigo is fine and italian job is still the same to me Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 You will adopt....or in two to three years virtually NO ONE will know what you are talking about. Go to NU and ask where the Scooby Doo coaster is! Quote

The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 If I'm the they, I will look at you nicely and ask: "Which one?" Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 You will adopt....or in two to three years virtually NO ONE will know what you are talking about. Go to NU and ask where the Scooby Doo coaster is! Well, I wasn't really planning to adopt. I may adapt, though. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 No, you will adopt the new names, as you adapt to the situation.... Terpy, being as punny as usual... Quote

I may adapt, though. ya i dont think i want to adopt Kings Island but the would be freakin cool i would rename it and all kic members would be able to get in for free on wednesdays and passes only 60$ Quote
miamidolphins Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 Flight Deck??? Are you kidding me?!?!?! Flight deck has to be the least creative name I've heard for a ride since... uh... you get the point. And Invertigo is a typical generic insignificant name that obviously didn't take much effort to think of. I am indifferent between drop zone and Drop Tower Quote
beastrider97 Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Me, Drop Zone Screw crappy new name! The Crypt Face Off Flight Deck Quote
