Weird Coaster Names

Judge Roy Scream comes to mind...

The funniest coaster names usually belong to kiddie coasters, and I say "Mild Thing" is the funniest if your park already has a coaster called "Wild Thing". I guess having a "Brain Teaser" if you already have a "Mind Eraser" is funny as well, but I think "Mind Eraser" is one of the worst names for a coaster yet.

What about Dexter Freebish's Electric Roller Ride at Astroworld?  Very strange.

I kinda liked the origanal name of Cedar Points Corkscrew when it was announced in 1976: "The Great Lake Erie Roller"

djansi, you are so wrong about Mind Eraser being a bad name. A woman rode the one at Elitch Gardens a few years back, repeatedly hit her head, and now has memory problems.

SFA 2002-What are they building?

Boomerang Coast to Coaster... bleh.

Brain teaser is a nice kiddie name for SFDL's ride,

 or how about Ant Farm Express? or better yet, Bar-One Bushwacker?

Can't forget about Boogie-woogie Space Coaster, and of course, la cucaracha!

I still think Wild Chipmunk is the best name ever :)

Uhhh, Cornball Express is weird, but looks fun!

WARNING: May be habit forming

As much as I like them, I will list the "huh?" coasters in order of confusion:

Raging Wolf Bobs- Is a wolf raging mad so he's bouncing along the track?

X-Flight- Umm, what does this mean?

Superman: Ultimate Escape- I think V2 would have been better on this one (I know it was the first but still...)

Not a coaster, but at CP, what were they thinking when thay named the tower Space Spiral? Sounds like a good name for a giant slide.

I pray that I will never see a Six Flags Conneaut Lake

Willard's Whizzer comes to mind..;)

Beer, Hooters and Coasters. Is this a great country or what? ;)

Boogie-Woogie Space Coaster at Space World :)

What about the new kiddy coaster at SFMM? Jr. Goliath? Isn't that like saying a jumbo shrimp?

Flying Unicorn......LOL!

The Great American Scream Machine is a fine name for a woodie, but for an ARROW LOOPER?!?!? Ugh. 2Hostyl, that was for you.

What about "Little Titans"? Same concept as Jr Goliath.

I am bored.

Sky Princess.

Sounds like a Barbie doll, not a coaster.

I thought Double Loop was pretty creative! And Raging Wolf Bobs, what's up with that? Whizzer, Cornball, Teddy Bear, Roller Coaster, and Zingo are some more.
