Name Change

[msoeagle]

Msoeagle,

Are you talking about me? Because If you are i have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

No hes my next door neighbor whos 12. And he and I live in wisconsin so it wouldnt be you.

[rct2wizard360]

Shockwavegirl, before I say anything, were you working Shockwave when it opened?

If you were then ignore the rest.

But most rides do valley somewhere on their first test runs, I know Bull did somewhere on the first half of the ride in the early testing stages. Most will and most do.

[zjohn1988]

I would change Condor to: Come back birdy!

And Iron Wolf: Iron junk

Raging Bull: Lets Ride Again

Viper: Cobra

American Eagle: Great America

Whizzer: Take me down!!!

Déjà Vu: It was worth lossing Sky Whirl

V2: Gotham Towers

Ragin' Cajun: Gotham Subway

Batman: Why did we get an award?

Demon: Devil

Spacley's Sprocket Rocket: Im not a coaster!!!!

Superman:Shock

PAST RIDES
Shockwave: Look what youve done!!!

Z Force: Better then Iron Junk!

Tidal Wave: The ride on Roller Coaster Tycoon!!!

The only decent name on your list that I could see working is the name for V2.

Well you go ahead and tell him that IF AE's train EVER came off the tracks, it would be ALL over the news....I've never heard it, have you?

Lots of things that happen now a days at the park are kept so secret, they dont have a chance to make the news.

[Becky O 33]

Yeah i know.

[FRD714]

Here are my lame names that I made up. Feel free to make fun of them.

Dejavu: Fix me!
Raging Bull: Wow, I can see my house from here!
Whizzer: Future floorless
Iron Wolf: Iron headache
SUF: Supermans short flight

[Binks Drake]

Here's a name for the park. "Guests: Go away"

Really smart names you all keep coming up with.

[Mr. D.T.]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA I don't think that was a very good name for a theme park. If that were so, the departments wouldn't barely make any money and would run out of business. Then all the employees would be out of a job.

In response to 'lame names' I'll think of a few as well:

Pictorium: IMAX
Grand Music Hall: Grand Royal Palace Theatre
Theatre Royale: Mardi Gras Music Hall
Jester's Wild Ride: Jester's Yawner or Future Site of a Freefall
Big Easy Balloons: Swinging Balloons
East River Crawler: The Great Octopus
Batman: Batman (Their name should never be changed except I could do without the gaudy yellow track.)
Ricochet: Big Top
American Eagle: The Illinois 500 (the winner gets a prize)

I think that would be a funny name for the park just for like one day to see the crowd's reactions. Also, i though some of the names were pretty good. The one's i came up with were thought out and not just spur of the moment, like naming Iron Wolf "Standing Ovation." I don't like to toot my own horn, but i didn't think that was such a dumb name.

No I did not work there the first year it opened..I was only 8.....

But I know that sometimes rides valley on their first test runs....but they don't open them to the public until the glitch is solved...IF Shockwave EVER valleyed on the course it was only before it opened. Never with people on it.




As for another post someone said that the park would keep it secret if Eagle derailed...........since AE is right on the edge of the park, by the freeway and Washington Ave, it would be pretty hard to keep that an in park secret don't you think? Plus any riders on it when it derailed, guests in the park, especially those in line for it, or any other nearby rides probably wouldn't keep quiet about it either. It's pretty hard to keep that on the DL.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^Very true, but Disney managed to do it once and a while. I read a survey a few years ago about all of Disney's accidents that never were shared with the public. Kind of scary stuff, but they somehow managed to hide it.

[FRD714]

They couldnt hide the california screamin accident a couple of months ago. I dont that ride has even opened back up yet.

[Trailblazer Tony]

^If it hasn't within the past few weeks, it soon will. I remember recently reading on how they are ready to open it again with the modifications.

[FRD714]

^ The reason for that crash is because disney made adjustments to the brake zone and they didnt notify intamin about it or something like that.

It's quite possible if the derail is only one wheel assembly that derails. If the car appears completely normal from the riders' point of view, and the only way you would see one of the malfunctioned wheel assemblies was to get right down underneath the car, it's quite possible that no one would know without Six Flags telling them. In which case, they'd give the infamous, "We don't know. Check back later." Unless the train is full of enthusiasts, chances are no one will figure out why it happened, they'll think the power went out or something.

Yeah.....Disney is in the middle of the lake......a lot harder for those outside the park to see. Maybe the guests inside were payed off to keep quiet. But SFGAm doesn't have that luxury.....even if they could afford to keep the people inside quiet....you couldn't keep a derailed train a secret from those passing by on the freeway, or on Washington Ave.



And by derailed I don't mean one wheel coming off either....Derailing generally means that the train comes off the track. Much like when you hear of an Amtrak train derailing.....it means it came off the rails.

American Eagle: The Illinois 500 (the winner gets a prize)

oh man 4000 prizes a day? That would be nice

[ragingFright06]

[quote="DejaVuGurl1203"]I wouldn't change the name of any of the rides in the park.[/quote]


Are you serious? You wouldn't even change AE's name to "DOUGLAS???" Crazy person.... lol

[DejaVuGurl1203]

Well I like the names that all the rides have.

Really smart names you all keep coming up with.

Haha I agree.

[cousinkid24]

I thought I bring back an old topic.
Those are cool names.

Verticle Velocity: Screamin Towers
Iron Wolf:I liked Iron headache
Dark Knight: You'll be in line all knight

[frightfestkid]

I got some good ones,
Iron Wolf-Raging wolf

TDK-Jokers Jinx(its no batman pretty much only joker), or screamin subway

Raging bull-Steel serpent

V2-terror twister

Chabasco (durring fright fest) hell cups

Giant Drop (durring fright fest) Dead mans drop

Superman:Ultimate Flight (durring fright fest)-Superman Fright flight

American Eagle-Revolution Racer

Revy-American Spin

[Jcoaster95]

Raging Bull can be changed to Raging Pit Bull since the coaster is sadly starting to get rough.

WOW you're kidding me right? Raging Bull rough? WOW

I thought the coaster DID start to get rough the last time I rode it. It's probably either the track itself or the wheels to the train. One thing for sure is that the track could use a powerwash and maybe even a paint job. I noticed plenty of spots where the paint is starting to wear off.

Good thing they repainted it this year. I just got off Raging Bull about an hour ago (last train launched today), and it was really smooth. Also, Iron wolf could be popular again if it got new trains, put it indoors and turned it into a dark ride.

Iron Headache makes no sense, Iron Wolf is made out of steel.....

[bigb7965]

^ yeah it does because of the headbanging

[sfgam1]

V2= Twist 'n Scream

[saylorman47]

^^^^
Haha Iron Wolf indoors?
Would it be themed?
SFGAm could probably just fake it off and tell the GP that they tore down Iron Wolf and built an exciting new dark roller coaster!
Anyone have Ideas for themeing?
