jcgoble3 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 http://www.visitkingsisland.com/things-to-do/soak-city-waterpark What do you think of the names? Good, bad, meh? I'm just happy they didn't go with "Tube Slide", "Body Slide", and the like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 wow, i really like the names! except for zoom flume, the rest had kind of a tropical theme to them, and then that one... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think they are pretty good! Thanks for noticing and pointing them out to us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoor Man Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 ... and the new entrance is aptly named "New Entrance." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD Reynolds Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 ... and the new entrance is aptly named "New Entrance." Is there a "New Exit" as well? I picture that on the other side of "New Entrance" for some reason...but I could be wrong on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RingMaster Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wow these names are great! My personal favorites are Mondo Monsoon, Aruba Tuba, and Breakers Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Whether you call it Mondo Monsoon or Tasmanian Typhoon, to me it will always be the giant toilet bowl. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not crazy about "Zoom Flume". I think "Snowy River Rampage" was better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Tube Slide??? I can't stop laughing....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Not crazy about "Zoom Flume". I think "Snowy River Rampage" was better. Agreed. I started to say that they didn't have to change that one, but then I realized that Snowy River is a major river in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Overall, these ride names are really great! Good job KI! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterGeek101 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I like the names. I think in 2013 or 2014 more slides will be added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Whenever I think of Zoom Flume, I think of the now defunct water slide that used to reside at Coney Island. It was replaced by the Twister in 2009. The Zoom Flume opened at Coney in 1977. They are also all about the alliteration too! Rendezvous Run, Tropical Twister, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm really confused...can someone tell me all the names now and what they were with Boomerang Bay? Castaway Cove and Lookout Lagoon seem like the same thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Wow. Looks like they pulled out the alliteration and rhyming dictionary for this task..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordSkippy Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 About Zoom Flume...I recall previous name wasn't very consistant. I destinctively remember the map referring to it as Snowy River Rampage, while the pre-ride audio referred to it as White Water Rampage.

TTD-120-420 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I will still call them "that slide over there." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrocoasterkid Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think "Dragster H2O" takes the cake for all time worst name. How in the world was that chosen by CP as a "top 3" and then how did it win in a landslide by a public vote?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsrattler Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Because up north, Dragster rings a bell of speed and racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Im glad they kept Pipepline Paridise, but i will still call them by Boomerang Bay names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emileeee Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Aruba Tuba wins for me. Will they have new voiceovers in Australian accents for all the slides too? Haven't been to the waterpark in years, but that part stood out to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westcoaster Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The names are good, just am still not liking Soak City name. But the waterpark is getting bigger, Do you think KI will ever get a true water coaster with all of this hoopla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the waterpark is getting bigger, Do you think KI will ever get a true water coaster with all of this hoopla? I think somewhere down the road such as the next 2-3 years they might decide to get a water coaster and hopefully with a storyline behind it... (which Cedar Fair has proven to not be very good at) They can call their new water coaster, Tears Of The Beast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
