Yeah I agree, they can go with Aquaman or even The Flash, Plastic Man, Nightwing, Lex Luthor, or Captain Marvel would be suitable names if they want to stick to superheroes.

"May the Force be with you"
History repeats itself.
Back in the day, how many coasters were named, "Cylcone?" Or, "Switchback Railway?"
Just something to chew on.
Magnum's Station, How they keep it so full that you don't know what line your in. Then you get to the middle of the line, see all the people around you and have a panic attack. This has never happened to me, but I'm sure it could.

Kids pushing baby strollers, who should probably still be riding in them! Just went to SF Marine World in Vallejo, CA (*Sigh*) and I nearly got tripped by one of these stroller-pushing adolesence...
Also, they only had one train running on all the rides. MAJOR annoance. C'mon hour and a half wait for Kong!? Not worth it. In fact, they don't have anything there that I'd be willing to wait two hours for... (Medusa being the only *possible* exception, but that still didn't look too impressive. Guess I've been spoiled by CP & PKI.)
I hate when a coaster breaks down and you ask what the problem is after waiting in line for a while and the ride opps just say "were having problems". That could be anything from two trains in the same block to someone hitting the emergency stop button by accident.
Not to mention people who freak out when the train stops on the lift hill. I don't mind if little kids do it but when teenagers and adults freak out give me a break where's the train going to go?
I also hate the people who put their gum along walls along the queue.

Parks hit for 2000!

Names such as "Pepsi Max" or "Playstation - The Ride"
It would be kinda funny if they named coasters the opposite of what they are like. Example, my cousin got a new dog, a rotweiler (sp?). He decided to name it Fifi.

I think they changed the name "Playstation-The Ride" to something else.
Last year, I went to PKI and there was a toddler, had to be 2 or 3 in the station in a (pen) by himself, screaming his head off. No parents there, they were on the ride. CP let's one parent wait at the station with the child, and then trade off when the other is finished. It was heartbreaking to see this child. CP is a lot more family friendly.
Coastercrazy, PKI has had the same service in effect for years, letting one family member go and having another stay with a non-rider on the platform. If the child was in the pen by itself, then this was due to the irresponsible actions of the parents, not the park. Almost every park in the world these days will allow families to do one and one riding.
Thanks coaster, it's nice to know that. That was a sight I will never forget.
How about SWEAT MARKS???
I am sorry but when waiting in line there is NOTHING more nasty then seeing someones arm pits getting wet--then of course you see this same person over and over again and every time you do--UGH!!!
(If you were the one female on line for MF last Sunday-blue tank top-no bra (that in itself was nasty too) I recommend trying Degree
oh yes and please do us all a favor
BUY A BRA and wear it please

Welcome back Raptor riders-how was your flight?
Hey LuvRaptor, how about the sweat marks left on the seats after a warm ride?! Now isn't that a pleasant picture? hehe
-JJ
Stop...cough, cough....bluusaahahhhhh!!! You're making me...cough...barf!!
God, THAT'S DISGUSTING!!! Hey, that's as bad as saying, "under arm cheese" or "butt cheese". Now, I will have problems sitting in those seats!!!

There's nothing like a woodie...
I hope they changed the name of "Playstation" names like that are grounds for boycotts.
And then there's the black crap on the headrests on some of the rides... (Like on Kong at SFMW.) I guess cleaning the cars isn't a priority if all that head grease just cakes up...

My Pet peeve is all the people in line who don't know how to have fun.... Like I try to get people singing songs... to mke time go faster but I get
"You're cool!" or "Shut up!"
BYW- It makes my life more instesting when I get comments like that
I also Agree with Jeff... I scream like a banchee.. even when leaving the Station on the Beast... Then on the hill when passing the other car!....and Saying things like "Oh my god, it broke!" when we stop on the second lift hill!
Learn to have fun! Please you guys are all taking the fun out of ridding with people you'll never see again in your life! So don't worry about someone not liking you for having a little fun....
I do agree the smoking and making out do have to go! I'll be honest I was one who made out in a line... but once I saw someone else do it I realized how nasty it was.. and have never done it again!
