Someone said smething about Apocalypse. I think that would be a sweet name.

I've heard of people wanting to name it the Lake Eerie Legen. But I think that would get old fairly fast!

I thought it was already named; i thought that it was already painted too. Am I out of the loop on this again???

I think "Intimidator" would sound cool. I like the colors how they are, although lime green supports might look cool.

Since I love blue, paint it ummmmm...well....uhhh....How 'bout blue? And maybe some silver supports to go with it? Oh. Wait. That IS what it's colors are. It's almost a Civil War thing. Blue and silver is close to blue and gray. hehe
Don't ask. This is what happens when you get bored at work.

I'd name it "Totaly narlley and rad and bodatious" and paint it's track black and it's supports red.

If it was named the Intimidator they would have to paint all the cars black with the number three, and have a Dale Earnhart promo video in the queue line (JUST KIDDING PEOPLE :))!!! If it wasn't tied in with Nascar (I hate Nascar) then it would be a cool name, I agree.

I think Midnight Blue track with silver supports and a touch of orange would be cool. The trains would be midnight blue with touches of silver and orange. Contrary to what everyone else has said, I like the name Millennium Force. It could be worse, they could have named it MANTIS!

Hmm, naming it Mantis would be a little confusing since there is already a ride across the walkway with that name. However, I like both the names Mantis and Millennium Force. I think that Millennium Force symbolizes the future (2001) right now, and in years ahead, it will help to seal its probable classic status.

Okay this is kinda random... but Mantis anf MF triggered it in my mind. What is teh deal w/ CP's "M" fetish? Have you noticed that? There is MF, Mantis, MS, Magnum & I am sure there are plenty of other little rides w/ M as its first letter. Just a little observation!

I like the name "Apocalypse" but you know the local churches would not. If it were named that, it would be Banshee all over again.

There's this English terminology called alliteration. It's a repitition of consonant sounds such as M in Millennium, Magnum, Mantis, Mean, and so on. It's been used for centuries as a story telling method for Bards when there was no written language to help them remember their stories, actually all the way back through Brython times--remember Beowulf? This is actually a Celtic tale brought to the Eastern English coast line by early migrants. But anyways--enough Lit History here. Point is, it is intended to help people remember various items and it's also sorta cool saying ten things in a row beginning with the same letter. Very good marketing move on CP's behalf.

They probably should have named Raptor "Mango Madness" instead.

This has nothing to do with the naming of MF, but how is the elevator cable thing going to work
