DropZone99 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Im going to guess what Cedar Fair will name all the Paramount movie title rides such as... And say what the ride's new theme will be. Drop Zon: Stunt Tower - Power Tower. Keep about the same only make it have more red. Top Gun - Raptor. Paint green and black, and make it have a small wooden tunnel with fog. Congo Falls - Action Falls. Lose the jungle theming and make the "geisers" be like theyre bombs. Tomb Raider: The Ride - The Lost Temple Of Rivertown. Make the pre-ride show talk about Rivertown. Italian Job: Stunt Track - The Getaway Plan. Just lose the Hollywood theming and make the signs say Cedar Point>, Valley Fair ^, ect...

Browntggrr Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Why not just change Congo Falls back to it's original name of Amazon Falls. And Top Gun to Thunder Alley. The others- well does it really matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 To the public? Probably not. To Paramount Pictures (not CBS in most cases...) from whom the names are licensed? You bet your sweet bippy it matters...and somehow I don't see Cedar Fair renewing licenses other than Nick. Heck, Paramount Parks didn't even renew the Outer Limits name, if you recall (or perhaps the Outer Limits people weren't interested in renewing it...)

hauntguy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Drop Zone - Just leave it the same! Congo Falls - Gator River Italian Job: Stunt Track - Stunt Track Tomb Raider- Mineshaft ... Themed as the forgotten/rundown rivertown mine shaft. Top Gun- I like the Raptor Idea! -Hauntguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 DROP ZONE: Leave it Top Gun - Valley cruiser Congo Falls - Amazon falls Tomb Raider: The Ride - The Forgotten Temple Italian Job: Stunt Track: I Love L.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what they are changed to, who cares. The rides will still be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hans1208 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Top Gun - Thunder Road or Thunder Alley (whatever the originally intedend name was to be) Drop Zone - Free Fall Tower Congo Falls - Amazon Falls (it's original name) Tomb Raider - Kings Mills Mineshaft or just Mineshaft or The Cave or Kings Mills Cave or Cave In Italian Job Stunt Track - Driver's Ed Stunt Track (sarcasm intended) Days of Thunder - Pitt Stop Motor Speedway Face/Off - Migrain Maker (it kills me every time I ride it...but I keep riding it) Paramount Theater - Kings Island Theater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikewhy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Whatever names they choose, I hope they are unique. I do not want the rides given names like Raptor that exist at other parks. The names should be unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Whatever names they choose, I hope they are unique. I do not want the rides given names like Raptor that exist at other parks. The names should be unique. I agree and I don't think CF would use the same name for two roller coasters in the same state. If Thunder Road or Thunder Alley was the original name of Top Gun I think they should think about naming it that or possibly Bat. I think that IJ:ST would be the hardest to re-theme since it actually has themeing beside its name and a paint job but that could just be called Stunt Track and remove the some of the LA stuff.

bparrott03 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I read somewhere that most of the newer rides wont have to be renamed, because the liscense is different or something. Im not sure. You cant trust what you read online. Who cares what they name it. they still are some good rides I do think that CF will do a good job naming them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Okay, ive heard some ideas and here is my new list thing. Drop Zone:Stuntower- The Stunt Tower Top Gun- Raptor Congo Falls- Amazon Falls Face/Off- Migrain Maker Tomb Raider:The Ride- Rivertown's Lost Mine, or The Mineshaft Italian Job:Stunt Track- Drivers Ed Gone Wrong Days Of Thunder- Pit Stop Motor Speedway.

I agree. I think IJ:ST will be the most difficult to rename because the whole ride is inspired by scenes from the movie. To rename it means to retheme it, and that might be an endeavor that KI doesn't want to take on. Who knows? I guess we'll see. I doubt, though, that they will ever use the name "The Bat" again. Personally, I LOVED that ride, but with the ride retired, so the name should be retired as well...unless they were to rebuild The Bat in a different location using the exact same plans as the origianl. Naturally, they would have to correct the issues that brought about The Bat's demise. Seriously! Wouldn't that be sweet? Bring back The Bat...but make it do barrell rolls.
