TombRaiderFTW Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I was thinking today about how it's been 10 years since the park was de-Paramounted... Let's pretend you're in charge, and something happened that legally required you to change the names of all the coasters in the park. None of them can stay what they currently are. What would you rename them? You can just change the names, you can retheme the entire park, you can repaint the rides, you can use other properties/movies/books/whatever. There are no restrictions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastForever Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Immediately, and I mean IMMEDIATELY, absolute first-order-of business rename Woodstock Express back to Beastie... ...And I've said before in a different topic, have it REMAIN as Beastie, no matter what company's licensed cartoon characters in fuzzy costumes are roving nearby...I don't care, it STAYS known as Beastie (and perhaps even out the tunnel back in, but that's a different matter...) As for what I would make the other names, I'd have to think on that for a little. But I will be sure to get back to you on that as this is a good topic. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super7 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Some of us that have been around a while still think of that coaster as Scoobie Doo and want it to be yellow again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrow Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Rename and repaint Vortex to Cyclone, just because of how it's kinda the same thing and the familiarity. Repaint to be anything but the weird Black/Blue Yellow/Orange thing it's faded into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow does look better. It also would match the Peanuts theme. Woodstock is a yellow bird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannersdaddy Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I always get a kick out of when the ride ops call Flying Ace Aerial Chase the Baby Banshee. It seems to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeastForever Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 ^My thoughts exactly. It's never failed to amaze me how something that tops out at 26 mph can be among the roughest rides in the park. Granted, I still think its a decently fun ride for a family coaster, but my goodness does it shuffle... Ugh...that's oldschool Vekoma for ya... That is, of course not to be conflated with the new Vekoma, which I will admit have been making some pretty impressive-looking rides as of late and we should try not to let their flawed rides of the past discount what they're truly capable of today.

MDMC01 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I'm not sure I'd rename all the rides, but I do know that I'd rename/re-theme Banshee to "High Voltage" (the name being a reference to a Linkin Park song of the same name (as Action Zone was built around the turn of the millennium)). In addition to the name change, I'd re-paint it silver with Green rails. While this would be the most important change, I could also see myself renaming Congo Falls to Amazon Falls and re-theming Adventure Express to "The Dark Forest Express" featuring Pokémon such as Shiftry, Xatu and other rainforest-esque Pokémon*. Vortex could also be renamed Whirlwind and the song of the same name from Skillet could play in the station. Whirlwind would change from the Blue and Orange to all turquoise track, but keep the same trains (with a different logo on the front). *It would never happen because of the 11th Commandment () and also I like Adventure Express as is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 RFYLCB- Anything shorter. Just because its named after a Peanuts film doesn't excuse its much too long name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarvestmanMan Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Every roller coaster is to be renamed Little Bill's Giggle Coaster. The parking lot is to be renamed Top Cat's Taxi Jam. That's all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Hmmm. Are you saying right after Paramount? I guess I would just add Hawk to every coaster. Invertigohawk, Bathawk, Bansheehawk, Adventure Expresshawk, Blue/Red Racerhawk, Flight of Fearhawk, Vortexhawk, Beasthawk, Back Lot Stunt Coasterhawk, Diamondbackhawk, Mystic Timberhawk, all the Kiddie Hawk coasters... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckeyeBond Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 First thing I’d do is change Action Zone to a place called Haunted Hill. We already have Banshee and The Bat which would fit in with the new theme. It would have the flickering lights everywhere like the SV lift hill, along with the fog and scare actors year around. I would def repaint Drop Zone and rename it Demon Drop. Delirium would become Pendulum. I’d also love to fit a Intiman Blitz somewhere in the newly rethemed area called PURGATORY. Needless to say I like the dark theme and the Haunt season is my favorite time of the year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Good idea! How about enclosing Amazon Falls, renaming it The Catacombs. Then people ride the ride, step off the ride and walk through a dark walk-through haunted catacombs to escape! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
