I don't know about an awesome name. For a Divas perspective "The Big O" would work for us!

Some names are just Stupid. Deja Vu should have been named "Big ass lawn ornament" Vekoma should have named their coasters "Kill me now" B&M flyers should be named "one element that's good" Just my opinion. I don't think I have a favorite name.

And Worm, Hellavator is an Intamin drop tower, not S&S.

Really? Everytime I read that coaster's name or hear it, I think of a balding man. Not some huge intimidating coaster.

[quote=Chris L]Really? Everytime I read that coaster's name or hear it, I think of a balding man. Not some huge intimidating coaster.[/quote] In english that might actually happen. But how about taking foreign laguages and myths into consideration?

BEAST, Vortex, SooperDooperLooper, Deja Vu. Deva Vu is great but I still can't get over its capacity and operation. Name fits the ride's design. SooperDooperLooper is such a corny name; Hershey has stood by it. Now since they've done that and the atmosphere of Hersheypark, they can get away with any name it seems.

Raptor and Mantis are both very intriquing names to me. (Man, do I sound like a total CP fanboy)

They are just short and sweet, and seem to fit both rides very well.
