Kat Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 With Banshee being built, I know there have been numerous rumors over a re-theming for AZ and renaming of rides. Of these rumors I have heard the following: Flight Deck painted orange and re-named The BatDrop Tower renamed Demon Drop However, I was wondering... what would Delirium and Invertigo be renamed to? No thoughts yet on Delirium, but while researching CF trademarks, trying to get more info about The Bat, and if there's a trademark for that, I came across this: http://www.trademarkia.com/stinger-85439858.html The Stinger Anyone know anything about this? The only CF parks I have ever been to are KI and CP so I don't know if there are any rides in their other parks named The Stinger.... but looking at the logo, I think it could be a good fit for a re-theming of Invertigo.... however, not sure how that theme would fit in with the bright paint job of it I just don't see that ride being re-painted so soon, especially not if Flight Deck is going to get an entire makeover.... But am curious about this Stinger at the very least, and would love to hear others' opinions regarding the rumors of re-themed AZ for 2014. Edit: Thanks to my brother Oldiesmann for helping me out. Apparently this is a ride at Dorney park, and the same color as Invertigo.... so this could be quite probable to re-theme Invertigo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tr0y Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 stinger is a clone of Kings Islands Invertigo, the ride itself was originally called intvertigo but when it was moved from California's great American to dorney park, it was repainted and renamed to stinger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd love for it to be a scary theme, like Sleepy Hollow or something. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone else pointed out, "The Pit and Pendulum" would work for Delirium. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xXDrummerKiDXx Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 If said trademark were to be used, would it be for Action Zone or somewhere else? Someone knows, but who? Edit: Accidentally pressed the "done" button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fryoj Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 It's clearly not a ride trademark. Probably not a haunt trademark as none of the others are. An area in a park fits the trademark they filed. Does that mean its Action Zone? No, but it fits. Unless they've already used this name at another park.

Kat Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 I will have to do some research on that. I could see Delirium being left as is. I wouldn't mind seeing the area where The Bat and Banshee are being made into its own sub-section and given a name, like X-Base is a sub section of Coney Mall I don't know about action dark though. I mean it could work since that's Action Zone but I don't like the name lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WailsLikeABanshee Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing a re-theme of all of Action Zone. Heck, just a sub-section would be nice. Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum91 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Amusement Dark makes me think of a nighttime event deal, similar to Cedar Point's Luminosity or Six Flags' iLuminate or igNIGHT. Music, dancing, lights, all that jazz, strictly present to encourage guests to spend longer in the park and spend more on food, merchandise, etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WailsLikeABanshee Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I just realized that they could turn Action Zone into a graveyard, renaming current rides to past rides, (such as the ones mentioned in the Banshee video) and have the Banshee, who wails at the death of others.

The Interpreter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 My thoughts: Drop Tower - Guillotine Invertigo - Flashback SkyFlier - Demon Drop Congo Falls - Tsunami Delerium - Pandemonium At least two of your names would raise immediate legal challenges from the Six Flags Entertainment Corporation. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Kings Island does not have a ride called Delerium nor one that includes SkyFlier in it's name. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanna Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Gosh this park is jumping' since Ouimet took over. It's like a giant Christmas present. New rides, theming, etc., I can't wait 'til opening day! All the things I love about amusement parks keeps happening. Now if we could create a Secret Garden from Tower Gardens.... just bringing that up. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I think Amusement Dark, actually would fit that section of the park. Has a ring to it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Just a thought, but isn't the Halloween Haunt event called something else at different CF parks? Perhaps "Amusement Dark" might be a renaming/rebranding of the event to keep the event names consistent throughout the chain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 ^ it's HallOweekends at CP I think at KD it's still the Haunt but don't know. CP is the only other CF park I have been to besides KI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Did a quick Google search for "Amusement Dark" and didn't get any good leads. Just several sites with the trademark info and some other stuff. It was filed in March for amusement park services and various souvenirs so maybe Banshee, The Bat, and EXtreme Skyflyer will be part of a sub section called Amusement Dark. That would REALLY work out well for Halloween Haunt 2014, with Club Blood and Wolf Pack being back there as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purdude86 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I agree with Spectrum that Amusement Dark sounds more like a nighttime event than a park section. It would work but i'm jsut not a big fan of the name for a aprk section, works great for an event though. As for renaming other rides I love the idea of Delirium being a Pit and the Pendulum theme. Just need to repaint it to match which wouldn't be too hard for a ride of it's size. Also Drop Tower becoming Guillotine would be great. As far as Invertigo, with it's new colors I've always kind of imagined it with a bit of a ghost theme to it, so maybe something like Poltergeist. New logo could have a ghost on it with it's body forming the track shape a bit, just worried it might look too much like Banshee's though. Could also put a bunch of gravestones aroudn teh ground under it to make it be like a ghost flying through a graveyard. They might retheme the theme the whole area over time but I really think for 2014 we are just going to have a new mini-zone with Bat, Banshee and Xtreme Skyflyer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Poltergeist? I suspect Mr. James Reid-Anderson's barristers, from that place that numbers its flags, down Texas way (both corporate and park-wise) or its New York City office (say New York City salsa-wise in a Texas twang) would be in immediate touch. Well, that or call Judge Roy Scream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 The main point is what would fit? Would a full halloween area fit with the pre existing attractions? I wouldn't say for it to be fully true with Congo, but it is very likely in that you could easily modify themes in the Action Zone to "Amusement Dark". Which of course we may get a small area for just Bat and Banshee from the contrast to the themes of Action Zone. Just remember, Screamin' Demon is not a shabby name for Invertigo, or in YoungStudian, "Invertiblow". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
