BB1 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Every coaster has a name, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. It could be bad if it is a clone, like Batman, or Superman, or a good thing if it is special to the coaster, like Banshee, or The Bat. So, what are some interesting coaster names? Or, what coaster names do you think will be a good idea? Good Coaster Names: -The Beast -Millennium Force -Silver Bullet Coaster Name Ideas: -Thor -Centurion -Konungr 1 Quote

tuxedoman52 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I think a good name is Wicked Twister at CP. There is no other like it and suits the ride perfectly in my opinion. 4 Quote

Existential Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I personally love the names of Chinese coasters when translated. Like: Fairly Yum Yum Gumdrop Coaster of the Forest. Or other such yarns. 8 Quote
BloodBlade21 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I am getting a bit tired of the Colossus, Behemoth etc. Can't they find a better name than a synonym for large?? 5 Quote
TombRaiderFTW Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 My favorites: -The Beast -Behemoth -Leviathan -Poltergeist -Millennium Force -Comet -Silver Bullet -Oblivion -Verbolten -Gwazi -Gemini -American Thunder I'm absolutely the worst at coming up with my own ride names out of the blue. If I have a theme or something to go off of, it's much easier. 6 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 "Fiery Fist of Pain," from one of the last of the semi-decent Spongebob episodes (before the show jumped the shark completely and became utter garbage). 6 Quote

LordSkippy Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 Oh boy, finally a topic that gives me an excuse to talk about Fairy-Magic Funland.Several years ago whilst exceedingly bored, I wrote up the fictional history of a fictional amusement park named Fairy-Magic Funland. The gist of it was that Fairy-Magic Funland was the most ludicrously unsafe amusement park in existence, and I mean so ludicrously unsafe the park must have been cursed. Anyway, the singular roller coaster in Fairy-Magic Funland was a (fictional) kiddie coaster named Rolling Coaster (or Fairy's Flight; the park couldn't seem to decide) that had previously been located at two other parks, the first of which completely burned to the ground after the coaster was installed, and the second of which saw the coaster derail and hit two patrons and a costumed character. Dark? Absolutely, but it sure was hilarious at the time.So yeah. Rolling Coaster is quite the interesting name. 5 Quote
homestar92 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 If Roller Coaster Tycoon taught me anything, it's that a pay-per ride shuttle loop named "Steel Money Printer" is the best idea in the world. 15 Quote

PhantomTheater Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Best existing name - Rollo Coaster ( amazingly simple, but it is the only one. Compare to the many named Roller Coaster or Coaster ). Name that should exist - Headbanger. 4 Quote

Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I often dream of having built a theme park in Billings, Montana. I even made a couple of RCT/RCT2 parks following along the lines of that dream (never RCT3; it kept freezing up my laptops). There had been real talk of a "Western Heritage-themed" park there (complete with a giant cowboy observation tower) about 20 years ago, but it never became a reality. Here's what I'd come up with: 1. A wooden twister called "Rimrock Rampage" (Billings is known for its "Rimrocks," a cliff wall that runs along the northern edge of the city); 2. An out-and-back "Racer" called "Alias: Smith & Jones" 3. A mine train called "Sluicebox Sam" 4. An inverted, steel coaster called "Yell-O-Stone" I'd have also named my flats such things as "Sidewinder" (Troika); "Big Sky Bandit" (Wave Swinger a'la Zephyr); and "Teton Tango" (Jump2), among others. 5 Quote
JTW Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Personally I think Kumba is one of the most fitting names out there. 2 Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 It became challenging to come up with new names. I made a quick, randomizer spreadsheet and came up with a few wild ones. So, who's up for a spin on "Ned's Poncho?" 6 Quote
zombieninja Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 ^^^^ There's a different kind of Flying Circus I wish I could ride in my lifetime. Quote
XGatorHead 8904 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I once had a park in RCT where all the coasters were named after different phobias. I only remember four of the names offhand: Claustrophobia, a completely underground coaster Agoraphobia, built right next to Claustrophobia, out in the open Arachnophobia, a coaster with 8 out and back sections Triskaidekaphobia, a coaster that had 13 loops. 9 Quote
BB1 Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 A total remake of the SOB, same wood and bolts, with two loops and a corkscrew, and call it PAIN. Quote
