I vote for "The Great Space Coaster"
If you remember that show, you truly are old!

Bastard! There aren't supposed to be things that "if you remember you're old!" Not yet! Stop it dad!

OMG...Hands down THE BEST name anyone's come up with...That's just too funny

I like that name Dave, but after 9/11, Skyscraper probably wouldn't be an appropriate name. If they can't name a coaster Banshee, I'm quite sure this one won't fly.

Doh! Thanks for catching that. And here I thought I was being creative. I don't think I'm all here right now, as I have a killer sore throat + other goodies and am taking 500mg of powerful antibiotics 4 times a day. I apologize if I offended anyone.

Oh well, back to the hot tea. :) :(

"The Great Space Coaster was the anti-Mister Rogers Neighborhood, a land of sassy insults, practical jokes, and plenty of shouting. "

Sounds like a show before its time... :)

my money is on 'FireStreak' ;)

I say something like "Hotrod", even though Xcelerator already has that theme. Hotrods did drag race in a way, and they could be considered dragsters.

Darn it Jeff, you stole the Genuw quote that I was going to make. That and the intro song to the show are really the only things that I remember.

By the way Gemini, maybe you are old at 29, but I personally am not. Besides you are over two months older than me. My birthday isn't until May 19.

"The Great Space Coaster, whoa whoa whoa, on the great space coaster off we go!"

Anyway, if you are going to vote for Great Space Coaster, then I'll put in my vote for "The Electric Company."

I'm thinking it will be something short and sweet.... perhaps, "Ignition!" I've been browsing through Drag Racing Sites and without including sponsors names, thats the only really awesome one I could come up with. =o)

It's all in Twisted Wicker, can't you see?!

10 more laps until the count is officially retired

Coasters have code names before they have a offical name. Dragster is code name for the project. This dosn't mean the ride is gonna be called Dragster. Anyway I like Xcellerator Force for the name. It fits it well!

Why does CP only have one Bird of Prey and a whole bunch of Sea Gulls?

Uh...I'm sure Magnum Dan is aware of that.

Why can I see CP going with a name like "Extreme Dragster" ?

I think it will be called "Electro-Blast"; Like Sonic-Blast.....Because it will use LIM's which are charged with electricity that blasts the train out an through the ride track! So when the official announcement is made I will be hoping for Electroblast.....Although it sounds kinda stupid it fits for the new ride!

2003 Electroblast Baby!

It doesn't use LIM's! It's uses hydraulics.

I would have preferred a cool drag racing term like Top Fuel, but the name that CP went with was also a good choice (IMHO).
