KIBOB Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 I wonder why Cedar Fair can not use Thunder Express for Flight Deck? Does Dollywood still own the name? I thought it was supposed to be named Thunder Road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 ^the way the article read, i took it as Kings Island was going to name it thunder express, then after paramount bought the park they changed the name to top gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 And, as told to me years ago by one who knew, I still postulate the original name for Top Gun at Kings Island was Swoop. Yes, Swoop. Note also that after Screamin Demon was moved to Camden Park, it was called Thunderbolt Express....and that move took place in 1988. I really doubt Kings Island would have used a name so similar to one in use by a park they sold a ride to just five years before.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I think Swoop would be an okay name! If the sign were like, a big, comic-book-y explosion with those circular pixels of color, and 3-D lettering.. Hahha. I mean, it's really not that bad of a name. Or even something along those lines like Swinger (obvious detractions aside). Hahha! Top Gun, though, is cooler. Of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I could care less what Cedar Fair re-named Top Gun, you should be more ticked at how terrible they let it look than what they call it. Also, I don't think Thunder Express was ever the name, rather it was "Thunder Run." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 ...which was already in use at Kentucky Kingdom, and had been since 1990... And if you could care less, then you do care some. Terpy, who just HAD to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
