Why is it that any topic with SFMM or CP in it turns into a vs. topic? Holy crap, people. Go outside and do something; it's the offseason.

So I'll take it in another direction. Frankly, I don't give a rat's a$$ what ANY coaster is named. It's a coaster, I'll ride it.

I love it! SFMM comes up with a unique name, people complain. But if they theme it to a superhero, people complain. Those of you who are so bothered over a name - something that has NO bearing on the ride experience - need to get a life!

If this floorless has any kind of combination including vertical loop, immelman, zero-g roll, boomerang, air time hill (can u say Superman WBMW) it will become an instant legend.

I think SFMM has done a good job getting unique coasters and names for them.

Those colors are really ugly. If the name begins with an "S" or has more than 4 syllables, I will be very disappointed. I don't like floorless coasters either.

Joker: Krypton Jinx (as obtained from the SIX FLAGS ride name generator) will be the new name of the coaster!

I don't care what it is or what it is called, as long as it is open by Spring Break!

No, actually, my uncle's friend is the assitant manager of a dippin' dots stand at SFMM, and he said the name of the new coaster shall be "Psychlops".

That has got to be one of the most logical things I have ever seen posted on here. Well said. I wish certain people would learn from your example.

When all of you special people who know so much and are so perfect own your own amusement park, you can name the ride yourself. Otherwise, shut up.

everyone goes on about this coaster in Madrid, you know that BM floorless Superman. Believe its rough and trim braked after the first loop and after the bommerang.. I've ridden around 30 of the BM's in the world and this one is no winner.

The six flags parks I see that comes up with some good original names is sfmm, sfgadv's, sfft, sfgam, maybe more things like X, Revolution,R:R , Medusa, Nitro, Poltergiest, Raging bull, Georgia Schorcher, and more. Six Flags came up with good names before they could keep doing it, the more things they run out of the more original the ride.

Why would someone not want a clone of Medusa? (I'm assuming we're talking east not west). Medusa is very intense, certainly more intense than Nitro.

Wow... I'm really with Moosh on this one. I'd love to hear what a lot of you would say if the name was Batman/Superman oriented..

They wouldn't do that. I know about SFGAdv but I think SFMM *thinks* about their names a *little* more. ;)

SFMM pulled away from the Superhero themes after Riddler's Revenge. So I doubt we'll be seeing any more Superman/Batman themed rides at the park.

Remember when Goliath was rumored to ba called Aquaman? I miss those Wild Rumors on Thrillride :(

Anyways, is it definate that this ride is a Medusa clone? To me, it'd not too big of a deal but I'd prefer somthing a little different.

It wasn't a rumor; it's complete truth.
