Does anyone know any good names for coasters/rides with oriental themes? It isn't very fun naming a ride Batman:The Ride when it is surrounded by oriental temples.
-------------
There are currently 11 coasters with the name Batman, 8 with the name Superman and 22 with the name Boomerang. Batman and Superman: The Ultimate Chiller Knight Flight Krypton Escape Ride.

"Fung Wa" or "Tin Ma"
This is a Chinese Comic Series that the movie Storm Riders was based on. If you like Crouching Tiger, I highly recommend seeking out this film. It blows CTHD away. It has all the wire work plus Hollywood level special effects and computer animation. It is terrific.

Panda Express! (good for kiddie coasters, place some entertainers around the track, and you have an interactive themed ride!)

You could use words from dragonballz, Gundam Wing, Akira, or other anime.

For my latest park with an Oriental themed section, I have the following named rides:
Shangai Surpise
Orient Express
Fortune Wheel
Tai Pei
Hong Kong Phooey
As I ran out of ideas, I then consulted my local Chinese take-out menu!

One of these days when I have *way* too much free time (read the off-season) and am bored out of my mind I'm going to make a five course racing/dueling coaster called
"5DV: Five Deadly Venoms":
Scorpion
Centipede
Toad
Snake
Lizard
And another five course racer/dueler called:
"Super Ninja: Elements"
Earth
Wind
Fire
Water
Sun
