If you have the petition to force Walibi Holland to rename this dueling RMC Raptor into something better than Yoy, please reply this comment if you can.
I’m Dutch, Walibi released a dutch statement saying the YOY name stands for ‘WHY OH WHY’, or YoY in short. Terrible name, it’s heavily criticized by Dutch media outlets
Apparently you have to pronounce it as Joy. And the park is also very rude on social media about it... when people say it's a crappy name they say "well yeah you'll crap your pants when riding YoY" and so forth. Very weird. Insanely hyped to have a dueling raptor at my homepark though.
YoY is supposed to be a palindrome, a word you can spell the same both forwards and backwards. Since the ride is a dueling coaster, no matter if you ride the thrill side or the family side, you are still riding the same ride regardless of if you start on (Y)oY or Yo(Y).The tagline "ride the other side" tries to promote riding both sides
My interpretation is that it's pronounced by individual letter in the English language.... So that would be. Wye-O-Wye which closely resembles "Why-O-Why" At least that's what I thought of when I first saw it.....
I love this channel, you have a great sense of humor! And idgaf how it's called, this is my home park and I've been looking forward to ride this for years
I said this in a previous video by my good friend Pesh, its not a terrible name its just something that as coaster enthusiasts we weren't expecting. Tbh i kinda like it
The name is so bad, its brilliant. Just think about it, people will talk about this just cause its such a weird name. free publicity. i love it. Been to walibi holland last year and LOVED untamed, imo best coaster in europe (that ive ridden) So im deffo going back once this opens!
Looking at the povs of this thing, it looks solid but definitely not one of RMC’s best. The duelling aspect is really cool but the rides lack the insane pace or sequencing of the previous raptors, therefore I don’t think it will be one of the stronger ones. From the precreations I’ve seen, the ride looks way too long for its own good and the middle section meanders quite a bit. We will just have to see when it opens though because everything could change
That NoLimits 2 footage looks amazing!😉

Can we make a petition together prehaps?
Ok
I really hope they keep the name. It's so stupid and bad, I love it so much
Same, I love the name
This is a certified Yoy moment.

You call that rude lol
YoY comes from Joy and Yay, YoY combined

I think they asked a Dutch person to spell joy but they had no clue. Soooo we ended up with yoy 😂
YoY, sounds more like a name for a vegan protein snack treat? Or a toy for your dog?🌭🐕🐶
Take a shot everytime Maloney says YoY, that'd be a hilarious challenge.
I still am wondering when in 2025 it will open. I am going in June but I’m unsure if it will be open
its planned to open 5th of april at 12:30 so no worries. i live 10 minutes away from the park. let me know when ur going

It's pronounced like Joy
Not the famous UA-cam Poop of the yougurt lady being refrenced with the name "YoY" for this dueling RMC single-rail coaster 😭😭😭😭
I personally really love the name. It’s different, simple, and fun to say.

My eastern European family used to say "yoy" when most would say wow or yikes or oh boy or holy crap etc...
Question for Jack. Can you rank all of Oceania’s coasters. I would like to see how NZ’s coasters to Aussie.
YOY…lecake!
Object show community, assemble.
No one in the Netherlands likes it either. Don't worry. All the praise goes to Efteling and Dance Macabre right now, although that aint a coaster.
lucky me, i go to walibi next year with ma school, on june
Is it definitely meant to be pronounced "Yoy"? I assumed it was Y.O.Y. to sound like Why Oh Why
It's pronounced as "joy" according to the park. Still not a great name but at least it makes a bit more sense once you realize that
I thought it was an acronym but nope. One word
walibi calls it joy but the rest of the netherlands calls it "why oh why does it have this stupid name"
Don't judge a book by his cover.
My name suggestion Double streak racers
to me YoY sound spelled like '' why o why" if you spell each letter individual!!
FINALLY A UA-cam POOP THEMED COASTER!
Would you prefer YOY RACECAR YOY? That's basically what it's name is.
how about: a man, a plan, a canal: panama
or: on a clover, if alive, erupts a vast, pure evil; a fire volcano
They must have been watching bfdi or smth
I feel like it's supposed to be called yoyo, but I'm guessing it's not going to end up being that.

I brought this forward to a Dutch person and they don't have any idea what it means either
I think it’s called YoY because it’s supposed to be 2 you’s

Why, oh why is it called Yoy?
They said it's just pronounced joy
Yoy
Im hopefully visiting next year, but the name sucks.
The name reviews itself. Why, oh why...
It's a name so bad it causes waves online.
It's free marketing!
Nevwr have i ever been more disappointed in a rollercoaster name
The logo makes the name worse
You pronouns it like “joy”
Horrible name.
