i think Alpengeist is a great name. I also like Pandemonium for the spinner at sfne because its true to its name. Names dont make coasters, so ive really not thought about it

yeah, Six flags needs to get more creative with their names, in my opinion its stupid having the same name, even if its the same ride.

Why is it stupid, how is the general public to know any different? As far as they're concerned, they turn up at the park and they see the ride, it's called Viper, which is a cool name to be fair, and they go, yay, great, snakes, let's go.

You have to think about it from the parks point of view as well as your own.

And what's wrong with Crazy Flying Coaster? It's in Japan for christs sake, what the hell else were they going to call it, you know what the japanese are like. Most of the people going to that park are going to be Japanese and that is the kind of thing that appeals to them, so why name it something for our benefit?

^Actually Gouldy, that coaster is in Taiwan and it is in the same park with the Flying Submarine G5, a B&M dive machine.

Japan, Taiwan, same difference, they all have stupid eyes and yellow skin and ridiculously cute schoolgirl outfits, they're all in the same place and they all love western culture in the bum and take it to the extreme, with names for shows like "super fun cool mega fun show" etc etc.

I am joking by the way, although I'm not, I just say that so no one is offended, cus you're supposed to .... but you can see why I might get Japan and taiwan mixed up ey.

I new what park it was at, just you know the countries in that area all just merge together.

WEll, Dirntin is a really bad name to give to your child, but a good one is Kyle, possibly the best name in the world!!! I wish my name was Kyle!


I think your name is Kyle. Could that be? [:O]

OMG I think your right! Praise be to the gods! But that brings me to my next question, how did you know my real name? Are you some kind of sick stalker, looking at people's profiles and junk?[lol]
i hate the name kyle

Now let's sing:

kylie give me just a change, let's go out and dance.
We can get it to the groove, i can watch you move.
Later you can sing to me like a shining star.
But i'd rather do you on the backseat of my car.

[lol] akcent - kylie [lol]

Here are some neat names in my opinion:
Big Bad John
California Screamin'
Montezooma's Revenge
Psyclone
Mister Twister
Hangman
Whizzer
Hurler
Ricochet
Zingo
Sooperdooperlooper
XLR-8
Zippin Pippin
Swamp Fox
Vertigorama
Giant Dipper
Grand National
Space Invaders
Sewer Rat
Space Salamander
Surf Coaster
Hangover

I don't think coasters have bad names, I just think they could maybe have better names. So I don't have a list for that one.
