Stoan Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I am going with Polaris. Story line for me with it being where Firehawk was, in X-Base, and next to Outer Limits: "We captured the ship and aliens that came to Kings Mill, now we want to see what other things we can do with the technology we learned. In the ship we found that it originated from Polaris system. Construction has begun on a mechanism to launch our own ship to the system to return the favor of invasion." *Bonus points to Cedar Fair is the main hill points toward the North Star (Polaris) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeastFarmer Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I'm mulling over whether or not the park would name the new coaster Shooting Star. According to the blog post about The Beast's 40th, the park was going to rebuild the Shooting Star beside The Racer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creed Bratton Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 I personally would love it as a great nod to the park's history with Coney. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I think it will be Orion. Polaris sounds too much like Polaroid imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta Lizard Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I have always felt since they were trademarked that Polaris would be a good name for a polercoaster but not much else. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedar Fair Fanboy Posted May 20, 2019 Author Share Posted May 20, 2019 So the most vote by now is Orion. But the color of the track is still grey and black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofBaconator Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 People who like to jump to conclusions. Speaking of colors, I think we can speculate the one color they won't be using- red. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlentless Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I think the Giga will be "Polaris" because 323' will be hill drop (just my theory). Then they'll rename Flight of Fear to "Orion" so we'll have an all new space themed X-Base area. Kind of like how they renamed "Flight Deck" to "The Bat" when they put in "Banshee" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the name changes and not the theming people would still call it Flight of Fear. Its one of the coolest names for a coaster in my opinion 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its one of the coolest names for a coaster in my opinion I like "Flight of Fear" name too . . just speculating as to why they would register two names. I know there could be a dozen reasons why. I just see them wanting to re-theme the entire area to go along with the new Giga. Actually I would not like a re-theme inside FOF . . just fine how it is. You're right people will probably still call it "Flight of Fear". I still call "The Bat" "Top Gun" sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamekate Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think it'll be Polaris. Even though I like Orion more, I've seen a few "teasers" indicating Polaris. Flight of Fear should not be changed.Also, On one of my FOF launches this week they said "Polaris or Orion" lol I thought it was cool to see them acknowledging the KIC rumors.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamekate Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 They've been dropping teasers at CP too. I seen a flyer on Facebook with strange wording. Like a telegraph just saying how Firehawk won't return to Xbase. No new info.That being said, someone else was leaving CP and Polaris was put on a bridge. It was in the decoding thread somewhere. I had teasers in quotes, you never know what's real and what's not. I wanted to post this though. If they named the coaster Orion... Diamondback could be considered the "Serpent" and we'd have possibly one more cool themed coaster on the other side of the park?

ethancoaster Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I'm on Team Orion. Parks want names that are easily recognizable and memorable for their customer base. Orion just sounds more iconic and proper for a coaster this size. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The idea that whichever trademark isn't going to be used on the new coaster will be used for Flight of Fear still kind of vexes me a bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeFéeVerte Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I think the name will be Orion. Theories of why: Sky/Space theme goes with area Orion is a hunter, capable of ridding earth of all beasts (in some stories) Orion means “Light of Heaven” , ties into Anno Domini Constellation is believed to be facing the charge of a bull, but can easily be changed to the charge of a beast. Possible backstory: We were warned by the wailing of a Banshee, that soon death was coming to the family. Orion spread for a brief moment to kill a beast and we saw the end of SOB. Now Orion has come back to stay and take out the biggest Beast of them all. Polaris also ties into the sky/space theme, means “Polar Star”, and is the North Star. This just seems too generic imo. I would love a hybrid coaster in the likes of Steel Vengeance and themed to a resurrection of SOB, but not likely to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As do I, I like both names but Polaris just has a special place in my heart haha. There used to be a concert venue in Columbus names Polaris Amphitheater. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
