    Regarding Steel Vengeance, I love the name. Without the backstory, I always thought of it as Mean Streak coming back with a vengeance.

      “They’ve returned with a menacing and twisted machine so big and brazen, the likes of it have never been seen. The tallest of its kind. The fastest speeds. The wildest maneuvers every attempted. Upside down, inside out, sideways, slantways, over and over and over. They’re back and they’re here with a Steel Vengeance. Frontier Town. Cedar Point. 2018.” Gives me chills every time I swear

    Something that I learned last year was that there is actually no such thing as a "Gwazi" in African folklore. Busch Gardens themselves admitted during an interview after the first announcement of Iron Gwazi, that they made that name up for the ride theme back for the original GCI dueling wood coaster form.

    Let's make a new law. You can only use an existing ride name if it's a clone of that ride. So Batman clones are OK as long as they have the same layout as the one at Great America. All subsequent Goliaths have to be changed. Subsequent Supermans, Jokers and Wonder Women have to change. One of The Mummy rides has to change. Little Dippers across the US. Cyclones. Etc.

    I think "Wonder Woman: Golden Lasso Coaster" is the worst coaster name for a new coaster in a very long time. I'm genuinely surprised you didn't give it a mention, especially since you named Railblazer as a good name in your other video. Also, I quite like the name "The Big One", it reminds me of the nicknames that we would give each other in the army.

    I’m a fan of the literalness of “The Big One” given it is still the tallest in the UK and, likely will stay that way for a while. It probably elicited the same form of shocked reaction from park goers on it’s opening year that Magnum did for Cedar Point. You’re preparing yourself to tackle something far bigger than anything seen before this side of the Atlantic, and that name stands proud. Just my thoughts.

    The face on the Tickler is a version of The Steeplechase Face (or "Tillie"), the mascot of Coney Island first introduced in 1897. His design is supposed to symbolize fun and may have partially inspired The Joker's design in early Batman comics. Many amusement parks and historic leisure areas have incorporated their own versions of Tillie, including Sydney's Luna Park, Steel Pier in Atlantic City, and Asbury Park's Palace.

    I remember first seeing Valravyn in person, and I thought it sounded kinda cool (like a combination of a Valkyrie and a raven). Since those are both creatures that fly, I thought the name was fitting for how tall and fast the ride was. As for Rougarou, I remember seeing a commercial for it and thought it sounded like an odd name, and I at least expected some theming to the ride in regards to the name. Unfortunately there’s not much of that.

    If part of your reasoning for putting Iron Gwazi on this list is cause they "threw Iron on it as if they were a Six Flags Park" then why is a literal coaster that they slapped Iron on the front of at a Six Flags park not on this list? You know, Iron Rattler. And yes the Crocodile theme doesn't fit Gwazi, but it's clear and obvious they kept the Gwazi part of the name as a homage to it's predecessor.

    I've wondered for a while now, why did the Luna Park staff on when they named a roller coaster "The Tickler", which might I add is a Zamperla Wild Mouse, which is basically a family coaster. Truly one of the greatest mysteries of all time.

    • @StamfordBridge
      @StamfordBridge 3 роки тому +13

      It’s named after the 1906 Luna Park coaster/ride, where the riders were in a tub that made its way down a sloping, serpentine course with posts all along the side, sort of like a human pachinko machine. The car (tub) randomly bumped into the posts all along the way, so it was like the car was being tickled as it went. It used to jostle the riders around a lot, so it became famous as a ride to take a date on, as you’d get to know your date pretty fast.
      Also the creepily smiling Tickler face is a throwback to a golden age Coney Island mascot. If you look at it, you’ll see it’s very old-timey in its look.

    I think the best/worst part about Six Flags' obsession with calling rides Goliath is that, for 2/3 of them, not only is it not the tallest coaster at the park now, but it wasn't even the tallest when it opened. Of the 6, the only ones that were are the two B&M hypers. Magic Mountain's is smaller than Superman, and New England's is smaller than their Superman, Great America's is shorter than Raging Bull, and Fiesta Texas' is shorter than all but one of their extreme coasters.

    As a Lagoon native, there were rumors going around back in the day amongst us kids that there was a Jet Star 1 in the park. Rumors differed from it collapsing to killing someone on it, which in turn made them rebuild it and called it Jet Star 2. But honestly, I think why they just named it Jet Star 2 was because it was the original coaster of its model and because that's what it was called at the World Fair it was showcased at.
    But in my opinion, I think Wicked has a worse name. It's themed to a chemical or power plant where something goes wrong, yet they chose to go with "Wicked". Rumor has it that Dal Freeman's daughter named it after the Wicked musical because of the color scheme, but doesn't really fit the theme and doesn't make it stand out from coasters with names like Wicked Twister and Wicked Cyclone.
