The Interpreter Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Uh. Racer. Scooby Doo lka Beastie lka Fairly Odd Coaster lka Woodstock Express. Both opened with the park in 1972. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 The kiddie coaster's name deserves more respect than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 So, list them all. I did. Shortening them to some name never used (Beastly?) isn't traditional, to be kind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Beastie + Fairly = Beastly. But hath since been changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonofbeast2.0 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 A bit off topic but I think it's funny how the workers at the rides are always a year behind slogans sometimes more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I call Woodstock Express neither its current name, nor its original name all while wishing it had its non-original tunnel back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick00 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I do the same thing. No matter what park Im at, I always call them the bumper cars, Scrambler, Monster, Train and Troika. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongliveKingsCobra Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 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...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slitthythroat Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 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.

diamondhawk Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 RFYLCB is too long for me. I call it the baby log flume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homestar92 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiocolts Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Pepper Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 ^ 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
