Original Ride names.

[The Interpreter]

Uh. Racer. Scooby Doo lka Beastie lka Fairly Odd Coaster lka Woodstock Express. Both opened with the park in 1972.

[TheCrypt]

Scooby Doo opened with the park in 1972, alongside The Racer. If I were to take a wild stab at it, I would think that Scooby Doo was finished before The Racer, only because it was a smaller project. Therefore making Scooby Doo/Woodstock Express Wooden Coaster 1, The Racer Wooden Coaster 2, The Beast Wooden Coaster 3, and tsaeB fo niS Wooden Coaster 4.

However, in the likely event that I am wrong, and that The Racer was finished first, then The Racer is Wooden Coaster 1 and Woodstock Express Wooden Coaster 2.

[The Interpreter]

The kiddie coaster's name deserves more respect than that.

[TheCrypt]

Well what should I call her? Many liked Scooby Doo, but many loved The Beastie. Not too many liked Fairly Odd Coaster, and Woodstock Express is the current name.

[The Interpreter]

So, list them all. I did. Shortening them to some name never used (Beastly?) isn't traditional, to be kind.

[TheCrypt]

Beastie + Fairly = Beastly. But hath since been changed.

[BB1]

Does anyone know what the former Boomerang Bay ride names were?

Coolangatta Racer, Down Under Thunder, Sydney Sidewinder, Snowy River Rampage, Crocodile Run, Tasmanian Typhoon, Great Barrier Reef

Pipeline Paradise, Bondi Pipeline, and Awesome Aussie Twisters, you forgot those in your post, a more accurate page is here http://www.KICentral...attractions.php

[tuxedoman52]

No. I got used to it pretty quickly.

[Outdoor Man]

i still find myself calling Boo Blasters, Enchanted Voyage... and great pumpkin coaster, the Enchanted Voyage line queue

[Sonofbeast2.0]

A bit off topic but I think it's funny how the workers at the rides are always a year behind slogans sometimes more.

[medford]

I call Woodstock Express neither its current name, nor its original name all while wishing it had its non-original tunnel back.

[Maverick00]

Cedar Point operaters still say, "Enjoy the rest of your day at Cedar Point, Americas Roller Coaster, Ride on." I still haven't heard an operator say Thrills Connect.

[jcgoble3]

I have few memories of the pre-Snoopy era, so old names are not a problem for me. However, I do have a tendency to refer to KI&MVRR, RFYLCB, and Dodgems as simply the train, the log flume, and the bumper cars, respectively.

[Maverick00]

I do the same thing. No matter what park Im at, I always call them the bumper cars, Scrambler, Monster, Train and Troika.

[TheCrypt]

Well, at Kings Island, they kinda are the Scrambler and Monster, and WAS Troika.

I've heard some ride ops say "Where Thrills Connect!" this season.

[homestar92]

As a result of this thread, I will henceforth refer to all rides in the park by what they WOULD HAVE been called if this were RCT.

You mean, Wooden Coaster 1, Extended Coaster 1, etc.? I don't think that's a good idea!

[LongliveKingsCobra]

lol I like it!

Pirate Ship 1

Fries Shop 1

Ice Cream Stall 1, 2, 3

Bathroom 1-10

Handyman 1-1443843

Mechanic 1-59893

ect ect and so fourth bahahahh

[jdawg1998]

"Janitor 6, you're doing a great job cleaning up the park!"

[LongliveKingsCobra]

But you really need all those handyman if you don't want throw up in your park. I think at the most I had in one park was 100...?

[slitthythroat]

I don't call Drop Tower by it's new name because it sounds utterly bland. I call Outer Limits its new name, because OT is too complicated really. As far as I know I call everything else by their new names, other than those that never changed. (i.e Vortex, Beast, SoB)

[diamondhawk]

RFYLCB is too long for me. I call it the baby log flume.

[TheCrypt]

But you really need all those handyman if you don't want throw up in your park. I think at the most I had in one park was 100...?

I think they're called janitors. But I'll go check!

[homestar92]

They're Janitors in 3, Handymen in 1 and 2. Also, I call RFYLCB, "The Log Flume" due to the fact that there are no other log flumes in the park .

Congo Falls is a Shoot-the-Chutes type of ride if I remember correctly.

[A.S.Coasters]

So you preferred the RCT naming method. I see

I love riding Wooden Coaster 2 at Kings Island!

So then I guess if I have my history right, you enjoy riding The Beast?

That would mean either Woodstock or Racer because they both opened with KI.

[LongliveKingsCobra]

I think they're called janitors. But I'll go check!

You know, I think they are too, and the mechanics are called handymen... Oh well.

[ohiocolts]

I found this in the men's bathroom by the Coney Mall entrance. I just had to take a picture.

I imagine it has been up for awhile.

[Sergeant Pepper]

^ I can't believe that is still up! That is kind of cool though.

My friends/family still call rides FACE/OFF, Top Gun, Drop Zone, etc, but I call them their current names.

[tuxedoman52]

I sometimes call FLight Deck TOp Gun.

[coasterfanatic83]

"Wooden Rollercoaster 4 looks too intense for me.'

I guess I should get rid of the loop...
