The next marketing term

I'm gonna side with a couple of people who already posted and guess "ultracoaster."

It's what first popped in my head when I read Jeff's initial post.

Kudos to Joseph. That is the best guess yet. I, too, was thinking ultra coaster but I guess you could say Mega Coaster. I also like Aero Coaster but the name doesn't really make a difference to me.

oooo... I got some more...

God Coaster
Sky Coaster
Really Really Tall Coaster

EDIT: The above were more like jokes... but here is a good one: JetCoaster

I believe CP will continue to follow metric termanology:

Mega appears to be the baseline for hypercoasters - Giga is larger than Mega - and Tera is larger still - so my vote goes to Teracoaster. Granted the numbers dont match, but the industry does seem to follow these steps, and the names sound good. Megacoaster, Gigacoaster, and (possibly) Teracoaster.

High Velocity Coaster.

America's Rockin' Roller Coast

Did you read this thread Tom? Anyway, I will guess ginormous-coaster.

Terror-coaster...hahaha. :-( No one is laughing.

I'd put my money on Dragster.

Daaba-coaster!!!! (Damn, 'ats a big a**ed coaster!)

Tom - Jeff began this thread with the comment that it will NOT be Tera-Coaster. Try again.

I thought Giga- And Tera- were coined off the computer terms? (mega, giga, tera, bytes) I didn't think there was any metric unit called a giga or tera. I could be wrong though.

Nosebleed-coaster
OGIRMP-coaster (Oh god I ruined my pants coaster)

quantumcoaster!

The world's first BFC?

Titanic-coaster? Hey I took a wack at it!

------------------
Don't you hate it when you try to say something funny but only YOU laugh? Example above

Sorry, should have read the first post more closely. I will say that regardless of what Jeff says, Tera has been used so frequently, CP may have an uphill battle to coin a new phrase. Assuming they are not going to use Tera, my choices would be:

Metacoaster - Meta reffering to beyond

Macrocoaster - Large

Supercoaster.

Tom

just kind of curious, why do us (americans) use, giga, tera, when we use feet to measure our coasters; not meters. just a thought.
