Oldschool75 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 So I wonder what new ride and at what park is getting this name? This was registered yesterday on 10/23/2013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Hopefully no park gets that name. It's awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I see you got that 4g. Perhaps Centurion has something to do with 100. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 New name for Flight Deck - stands guard over the Banshee! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfanatic83 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I love the name Centurion! That would be a great theme (Roman gladiatorish) for a ride! Carowinds? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Perhaps it's the name for whatever is replacing Knott's Berry Farm's WindSeeker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 At KI a centurion regularly told me to "halt", that I have "come to far" and that "visitors were not allowed within these walls". Oh how I miss him. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 IIRC Carowinds is going to get a 300+ (presumably B & M) for 2015 according to the details/media reports from the deal they made with the state (or city?) to secure funding for improvements. That's the obvious choice for now, though it could be a number of things they have in the pipeline for one of their many parks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanna Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Centurion has the same ring to it as "Apollo"' I think it's a good name. Perhaps each park will eventually get a signature B&M coaster. It will provide a thrilling, yet individual coaster to suit the different overall theme of each park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 I love the name Centurion! That would be a great theme (Roman gladiatorish) for a ride! Carowinds? That would make sense. I'm guessing they will get that rumored big coaster in 2015. Hopefully Centurion (whatever it is, IF it even becomes something) gets some decent theming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PyroKinesis Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hopefully no park gets that name. It's awful. But "Amusement Dark" is a fantastic name? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I have a strong feeling that this will be the name of Carowind's new gigacoaster when it comes... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Hopefully no park gets that name. It's awful. But "Amusement Dark" is a fantastic name? I never said that was a good name. What did that have to do with anything? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerNut Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 My source is my guess like everyone else however breaking down the name "Centry" is a person guards something. We know Carowinds is starting to remodel North Gate and the new coaster will replace our skycoaster. It will be all on the NC side and be 300 feet tall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroKinesis Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I never said that was a good name. What did that have to do with anything? People in the Cedar Point speculation thread thought it was the greatest name ever when that trademark was found. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Spinoff off ride based on everyone's favorite Phantom Theatre character, yea... "Halt!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndyGuy4KI Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 I think it is a pretty cool name personally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Remember the backlash when the name Gatekeeper was first found out about? People just like to complain. It's like no matter what parks do for us, some people still can't get enough. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merthecat Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Your source^ Uhh...it was already announced. A lot of people on Carowinds Connection thought it was a great name when I broke the news to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Though it is likely that this will be the name of a future addition at Carowinds, keep in mind that this name could be for a ride planned for another park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Honestly, I think most names for new rides always seem a little bit corny or uncreative the first time you hear or find out about it. It has to grow on you a little at first before you can imaginine yourself saying "Let's go ride (insert name here)" in the upcoming season(s)... ...But once it does, 98% of the time you end up liking that name. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 I actually really like the rumored name that turned out to be Gatekeeper...Lotan. It sounds cool and it could have a cool backstory and some theming. Plus I'd love for it to be a green and blue coaster. However started that rumor got me pretty excited, but Gatekeeper's more fitting and emphasizes its most unique feature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I think its funny how everyone is already assuming its goung to be a B&M Giga. Just like when Kings Island rumors started 80% of then said giga coaster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 If you mean at Carowinds, local government has already been informed of the plans. Name? I doubt it, but size and type of ride, yes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 http://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/blog/outside_the_loop/2013/09/charlotte-council-wrestles-carowinds.html?page=all This article shows where the ride is going to sit and that its 300-315 foot tall. The interesting thing is, looking at the slideshow, that it suggests its going to be a wing coaster. Not sure if that is just whoever did the article taking liberties from the pictures used at the meeting, or if Cedar Fair themselves said that.

Diamondback FOF Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 It also says "riders on the planned giga coaster at Carowinds will be suspended from above, with their feet dangling in the air" Not exactly how I'd describe a wing coaster. I wanna say the reporter doesn't exactly know what's going in...and that'd be a huge jump in size for wing coasters Edit: only 65 mph for a 300+ foot tall coaster...? And wow, an additional 400,000 guests just from that! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Top speed of 65mph for 300+ ft coaster, either this is a case of over engineering by B&M or they plan the longest trimmed braked drop that will take the world record from The Beast. Probably just the news playing into Cedar Fairs games, last time i recalled the so called expert the news interviewed for Kings Island Banshee told us we were getting a winged coaster with multiple world records. We all walked away from the park that august night with neither of those... Until i see footers I'm not going to believe what the news has to say, or the park for that matter, honestly why would the park come out and tell us what we are getting, this early. all i got to say is, COME ON MAN! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
