Ride Names

What dod think they are going to name those rides.

X-Flgiht S:UE and BKF

I am sure they will keep X-Flight the same. S:UE will probably become Ultimate Escape and BKF will probably become Knight Flight. That's just a guess but it seems like it would be the easiest for a name switch.

AKA Cobraroller on Cbuzz

I would hope they would do something like that. It would eliminate a great deal of confusion. And, I like both of those names as it is.

Don't count on it...

Just a thought...

Cedar Fair may change many of the rides' names simply as a way to place even more distance between what the park was under Six Flags' ownership and what it will be now under their ownership. A sort of emphasis on the change that has happend per say.

If they just dropped the Superman and Batman prefixes, people will still call those rides Superman and Batman, especially if the rides are still the same color scheme. I would expect complete name changes for this reason.

I would expect complete name changes as well, and all new paint schemes in a few years. Well, maybe not on BKF but definately on superman... I mean those colors are just so superman it isn't funny!

Arms down.....Arms down.....Arms down.......Arms down.....Arms down....Arms down...(you think they would get it the first time?!)

2003-TTD-15 Rollbacks-1
2004- Demon Drop (first year)

Superman will be re-named Twisty-Twist Fasty Fast and Batman will be re-painted red and black and re-named Lady Bug. (notice the sarcasm yet?)

------------------
Who was that masked man anyways?, I don't know but he sure had a stupid looking horse.

2000-2002: Camp Snoopy

2003: Mean Streak

2004: TBA

I will probably just call them Superman and Batman like I always do.

If Batman has a nice roar as the trains pass buy similar to Mantis then I think Banshee would be a cool name for it.

Everything that has a beginning has an end.

The Matrix Revolutions

Yeah I think Banshee should be one of the names LOL! Let's just hope that Geauga isn't as much of a religious town as sandusky!

If CP and CF decieded not to use banshee at CP then why would they use it at GL. I know its a cool name and would be really good for the ride, but I don't see that happening. If you use the search function you can find a link to an article on why CP changed banshee to mantis.

Yeah I know it was just a joke. I know why they opted not to use the name too I just thought it was funny.

Shipwreck Falls => Snake River Falls

Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall => Demon Drop (Well, probably not.)

Hurricane Harbor => Soak City

Willing to bet that won't happen...

What about Hurricane Harbor? I'm curious to what it will be called.

I agree as well that Banshee would be a great name for BKF, however it probably wont be used considering the history. I think Serial Thriller will be a bird theme, Falcon, Hawk, or Vulture maybe. Mind Eraser will most likely be Boomerang or how about "Eras'er Mind." lol. Honestly have no clue what they will come up with for SUE. Ultimate Twist with "Do the Twist" as the catch phrase! Oh yea! lol. Hurricane Harbor I see as returning to the good old "Turtle Beach." Bring back as much history as possible.

Actually, Turtle Beach was just a section of Geauga Lake's original waterpark called "Boardwalk Shores". I wouldn't mind seeing that name make a return.

Boardwalk Shores opened in 1983 with Neptune's Falls, the now-defunct Undertow, a re-routed Giant Slide that dumped guests into Geauga Lake itself, and a sandy beach. If I'm not mistaken, it was the first time a waterpark had been added to an amusement park and only one admission fee was charged for both. Other "Moments In BS History" include:

* The Wave (defunct) added in 1984. Was at the time the second largest wave pool in the country.

* The Stingray Wet Slides opened in 1987.

* Turtle Beach premiered in 1989 and was so popular that a second phase was added in 1990.

* Hook's Lagoon opened in 1997, replacing the Undertow.

* A brand-new wave pool and a lazy river were added when the area was renamed Hurricane Harbor during the Great Flagging of 2000.

Just some random trivia on a rainy day....
