I love Crazy Flying Coaster! It may be "generic" but its such a great name.

I also think that to say that Batman: The Ride is an overused name is false. Its not used but for one ride that Six Flags just likes to install at their parks and happens to be one of the best invert styles around.

Frankly, I think that Superman is overused since its used for Flying coasters, Hyper Coasters and even a Floorless and NOW a Rocket Coaster. Thats overusing a ride name, even if the subtitle is different.


-Raven
-Legend
-Voyage

3 best names on 3 of the worlds best rides. ;)

My all time favorite is Children Coaster. No, it's not "Children's Coaster", just Children Coaster.

Chidren Coaster: http://www.rcdb.com/id1181.htm

I also like many of the old coaster names like Cyclone and Wildcat.

Don't forget Italian Job Stunt Track, Mighty Canadian Mine Buster, and Crystal Beach Cyclone, They're pretty cool names.

For the worst names I'd say Superman: Whatever, and Wild Mouse, and Roller Coaster, and probably some wierd euro names.


I also think Expedition GeForce is a cool name.

Nemisis, Raptor, The Raven are some of my favorite names.
But the absolute worst names are the ones you have to choose from at downtown Disneys Virtual Coaster ride.
You have to choose between 20 adjectives and 20 nouns. So my coaster was named, "Atomic Wedgie" horrible horrible name.

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]

actually it's very simple. when a coaster designer gives his coaster a powerfull name ( like the name of gods or something big ), the coaster will automaticly look gigantic. a coaster will be a pain in the ass if you give it a name ltteraly to the ride ( like "coaster" or "ride with loop" )
