If so, there is no need to file a new trademark on the ride name again. Just like Ford and GM still hold the trademark names of their former car models that they no longer produce, like Falcon, Granada, Corvair, Firebird and T-Bird. If this is the case, there is no need to file a new trademark on The Bat as the name of a new ride that might be flying in the area! Dracula, that evil vampire that he is and the prince of darkness, has transformed into a giant vampire bat, is swooping down through the mist and fog as he choose his victims. You can hear the loud, bone chilling screams as they try to protect themselves from being turned into the undead, just like the evil vampire that is Dracula! But there is no escape from the evil clutches of his talons and fangs as he grabs and transport his victims to his evil lair. They will rule the night for all time. Trademarks last indefinitely, but I don't see one for The Bat. It could be that it was formerly registered to someone else and not transferred to CF, but I'd have to do a more extensive search to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can picture it now... this rollercoaster will be the fastest b&m invert, it also has the most trim brakes on any b&m invert to date with 7 which is a world record ya! ( editing to emphasize " will be carried out in cuffs " was metaphorically speaking, just shows how severely disappointment i will be. ) This is why I am not attending the announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTW Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I thought really hard about taking a day off today for the announcement but after nearly reaching a mental deadlock I decided to roll over the vacation day I would have used to 2014 so I can spend a day riding. I'll probably go poop at 10:30 or so. I'm sure it will be all over every outlet I frequent by then. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSkippy Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 A floorless standup would be essentially be BICYCLE SEAT: THE RIDE. (Bicycle rider, just see what you've done - to the church of the American Indian! Say, do you like worms?) Ouch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Screamscape is no reporting that Flight Deck might be renamed The Bat because the Flight Deck logos on the trains have been removed. Really?!?! On another note, it sucks that people like me (who live far away from the park) can't see anything from the webcams because of the weather... How many acres is the site in question?
