Coaster Names
-----------------
Enjoy Your Flight on the Raaaven!
Actually, i was having the same prob, but in every day life, i listen for words or phrases that to me would sound like great coaster names. i also use other coaster names as a basis some times, and go from there.
in a new park i'm building(i have my own fake park franchise called Lands of Adventure, and i have trouble sometimes coming up with park names) i have the following: the park's name is Lands of Adventure Willow Point(kinda lame, but all i could think of at the time) i have a G Tec Giga coaster named "Great American", a woodie in a western themed area named "Ranger", an impulse named "Collision Course", a LIM Premier rides coaster based off Mr. Freeze which im either gonna name "Blast!", "Blast Off", or "Meltdown". i also have a racing woodie named "Patriot" that's all i'm givin 4 now, since i don't want my cool names stolen ;) later!
Here's my method of naming coasters... http://www.webtender.com/browse.html
I like the way you name your coasters.
If i mess up im sorry

Oooh, I'm away from RCT at the moment, so I can't give you any examples, but I can give you my technique: I like two-word names, with aliteration (both words starting with the same letter). The first word is a verb or adjective, and the second is a noun. Here are some names I'd never actually use, but show you what I mean: Rampaging Rhino, Major Mayhem, Villianous Vermin. My brothers think it's cheesey, but I like following in the tradition of the classic Shooting Stars.
I'd name a ride with a lot of helixes called "Centrifugal Force."
I've thought of some good names, but those are the only ones that I can think of now.

I do not name my coasters. I leave them "Wooden Coaster 1" or whatever. Not only does it take less effort, it also makes it easier to keep track of your rides.
I don't really theme much either. I never build stations and the only theming I use is flowers, trees and fountains.

A day is a drop of water in the ocean of eternity. A week is seven drops.
I did a Roman themed area and named some rides in very bad Latin, like Miceus Pluribus (wild mouse coaster), Ferris Wheelus, Gois Kartis, then some as (SF)Great American does with alliterations, Gladiator Gauntlet, and Roman Rush, which is what I try and stick with generally also; King's Kolts and Prince's Ponies (dueling single rail coasters)...keeping a dictionary nearby helps....
did a Egyptian themed coaster named Ra, thought that sounded pretty cool....
Can't go wrong with throwin' in a "Whipper Snapper" or a "Screamy Neemy" from 'Vacation' either.....

Well "Chris," remember there's no such force as centrifugal force, only centripetal. ;)

Is that a Q-bot in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

General Public: Thank you, I realize that. I went through high school fizyx too (I always spelled it that way)! However, even though it is the "ficticious force," and since on loops, people go outwards toward the top....whatever.
It's just the name of a freaking roller coaster! It doesn't have to mean anything!!! :):):)

Ok Kick The Sky from one old fart to another the name of that show was BATTLE OF THE PLANETS wasn't it
Now do you remember STAR BLAZERS It was about a old battleship that was turned into a starship and drawn in the same Japanese style Battleof the Planets/G-force was that's so popular now with Dragonball Z(and I thought it was crappy then)

That show kicked ass. It was probably my first exposure to "Japanimation," followed by Robotech (I have the entire series on DVD) and Voltron.
