I voted for InvadR, but yeah, I agree none of the names are very good.

As of two days ago, Invadr is leading the vote for the name.

I hope Viking Raider wins.. It's the only one that's actually real words. Where do they get off suggesting truncated names like the roller coaster is a dating app?

Would be nice to see Viking Raider win. But perhaps if they put some effort in a good logo design they could make Invadr work.

We did a good job leaving royalty out AMIRITE?

Still don't understand why they'd chose a FailCI after Gwazi

That's what I didn't understand. Sure the Florida weather did an extra deal of damage on Gwazi, but for the length of time that it was a rough ride and then stood SBNO, you'd think from that experience they would go with another company. Gravity Group...or any steel coaster company. I don't know how much influence the headquarters or whatever has on individual park attraction additions, but it seems a little strange to me that BGW would get Tempesto, BGT Cobra's Curse, Sea World Orlando Mako, then BGW would get a wooden coaster. Maybe they felt the need for wood at this park, which I guess I could also understand.

I'm guessing it's because GCI have redeemed themselves and are lightyears ahead of where they were 10-20 years ago.

Yeah, GCI, they are the master of momentum, too! :)

I'm not really a fan of the name. It just seems to clash a bit with the naming conventions of the other attractions.

Sounds like a children's ride. Fit in perfectly with Ben 10 at Drayton Manor.

Hi what do you think of this fanmade video? :)



Promising or still needs some fixing? (Bar his superb trackwork.)

Looks like the typical NL user interpretation of a GCI where they double the forces because it's what they secretly wish it was inside.

Official InvadR POV animation. Doesn't look like GCI's best work to me but it should still be fun.

I heard they're reusing Gwazi parts to save money.
