Shouldn't all this be in the other thread...the one that's for the actual name of the ride?

Quadra-Coaster is my vote. The StratosFEAR name is awesome, but won't be used for the marketing term.

500 ft coaster will be a Peta-Coaster.
600 ft would be a Exa-Coaster.
700ft would be a Zetta-Coaster.
800ft would be Yotta-Coaster.

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.

So does Gary Gnu do the press release?

Thrill-Coaster, Icono-coaster, Strato-coaster, Ultra-coaster, Uber-coaster, Super-coaster, Quadra-coaster, Intense-coaster, Rocket-coaster, Jumbo-coaster, Meta-coaster, Macro-coaster, Turbo-coaster, Nitro-coaster, Blasto-coaster, Sonic-coaster, Collassal-Coaster
Even this list includes some which are really not very likely but I think I have listed all but the profane and otherwise "stupid" ones. Question for Jeff: Is the correct one in the list above?
I originally posted "Ultracoaster" but I don't see this as being correct because it really wouldn't make sense with any of the vowels changed. Also, "Ultra" seems TOO final (like, what would be better than Ultra - Super-Ultra?).
I really think now that it will be Strata-coaster.

D/\MN GINA!!!!!!!!
"Collassal" in your list should be spelled "Colossal" -- maybe there is your vowel? (And you have to get the 'L' out of there!)

I spelled it "Colassal" because that is how the original poster (kakarot) had written it. There were a few later posts that suggested that if it were written "Colossal" it would be spelled correctly AND fit Jeff's hint about the misplaced vowel.
As for "Strato", it was actually Fluidcoasters who originally posted it this way and that was before Jeff gave the misplaced vowel hint. Therefore, if Fluidcoasters nearly got it right, one of the vowels would need to be changed. And this would most likely be changing the "o" to an "a".

They won't call it a Tera-coaster simply because of Bush's war on "tera" ... they don't want Ashcroft to declare the ride to be Unamerican, and people won't ride a ride that they think supports the "tera-rists"...
That's too Fun-E Spryboy! "tera-rist" lol - Cedar Point is NOT Un-American....
