January 17, 200620 yr Yes, you read right! Paramount's Kings Dominion has made yet another name change for their Italian Job Stunt Track clone (PKI, PCW), now dubbed The Italian Job Turbo Coaster New Official Logo below: 4th times a charm? Originally The Italian Job Stunt Track, then The Italian Job Street Chase (unofficially), and what many hoped was the final name, The Italian Job Stunt Coaster has now made the most drastic change as The Italian Job Turbo Coaster I guess in a push to show individuality (even though it's a clone) they redesigned the logo using old art and renamed it. I think it looks pretty good but the name is more cheezy then the original and it puts less emphasis on the movie which it is based What does eveyone else think about this?
January 17, 200620 yr ^I agree, that name is terrible, I thought stunt coaster was the best, but no no where has it been confirmed that it will be an exact clone.
January 17, 200620 yr At least "Stunt Track" gives PKI the feel of a "movie-studio" theme park (like some attractions at the Universal parks). "Turbo Coaster" has almost a 70's, Disco-Era feel to it, like "Supertrain" or "Love Boat". Egh!
January 17, 200620 yr We should get a Disko themed to Moskau by Dschinghis Khan. Moskau, Moskau! Wirf die gläser auf der Wand. Rußland ist ein schönes land, Ho ho ho ho HEY!
January 17, 200620 yr ^THAT WOULD BE TE BEST RIDE TO EVER COME TO Kings Island! the ride ops would dress like him!
January 17, 200620 yr ^ Well put TRexRage1993! I think they wanted to get away from the Stunt Track thing cause it reminds too many people of Test Track at Epcot... And yeah if they had Moskau: The Ride - I would soooo work that. I can't do that funny Russian dance though...
January 17, 200620 yr Sorry but no I think your confusing me with someone else klock. But still pkd could have named the ride better than that.
January 17, 200620 yr Am I? Does anyone know if the ride is indeed identical to ours? I heard from someone that it was like reverse of ours - same layout but like a mirror. Don't know if it is true though.
January 18, 200620 yr Watch, they will get some freaking awesome coaster that breaks all the records.
January 18, 200620 yr turbo coaster, just a little on the queer side. I got some lame ride names for the Italian Job coaster for PKD (though they all suck, bear with me): -The Italian Job Stunt Track: RUSH HOUR <--stupid -The Italian Job Stunt Track: Collision Course <--stupider -The Italian Job: Most Wanted <--stupid rip-off of Need for Speed -The Italian Job: Speed Track <--stupidest Let the much needed hate mail and criticism commence!
January 18, 200620 yr I REALLY think that, since the Italian aspect is present in all forms of this ride, instead of getting splashed with water near the end of the ride, they should fill the pond with vino!!!! Let's keep the "thematic approach" as much as possible.
January 18, 200620 yr ^Instead of helicopter gunfire lets have mobsters firing tommy guns! (not real mobsters that would be crazy!)
January 18, 200620 yr "Ten thumbs up for the new name," The Power Rangers HEY! Thats a really good movie...or so I rembmer it was...
January 18, 200620 yr You wouldnt believe how many people came up to us and asked what a "Stunt Track" is or what it does. Our standard answer was "It's a roller coaster" I liked "Stunt Coaster" best. Who knows at this rate they might change it back to that.
January 18, 200620 yr Well over on PkdPlace we're bashing Turbo Coaster so badly that hopefully they will change it back. Stunt Coaster was perfectly fine and I was starting to actually accept it.
January 19, 200620 yr We should get a Disko themed to Moskau by Dschinghis Khan. Moskau, Moskau! Wirf die gläser auf der Wand. Rußland ist ein schönes land, Ho ho ho ho HEY! Can I sign up for that ride?
January 19, 200620 yr Nevermind^ I just saw on the site it's new NEW name. lol. I for one dont mind the new name.
January 19, 200620 yr i always thought a sweet name would be... The Italian Job: Mini Cooper Getaway. They already use the word "stunt" for drop zone.
January 19, 200620 yr i always thought a sweet name would be... The Italian Job: Mini Cooper Getaway. Brilliant! Much more alluring than "Turbo Coaster", or "Gun Violence: The Experience".
January 19, 200620 yr i always thought a sweet name would be... The Italian Job: Mini Cooper Getaway. Brilliant! Much more alluring than "Turbo Coaster", or "Gun Violence: The Experience". ^ You know, because of the helicopter!
