Well, first off, the Dalahhioasdfjalsd;lja Mine ride (don't know the full name) at SFoG. They could've chosen a name that everybody could prenounce.
LOL...
Pronounced Da-lon-uh-ga! An old gold mining town in North Georgia, where the first gold rush in the US occured. At least back then SF went for original names.

Playa, on occasion they will turn High Rollers trims off....If memory serves on the last day of the season they'll turn them off, but I'm not sure
Which brakes? The trims atop Hill #2 an be somewhat variable, but the set on the turnaround seem to bite every time.
The return run would have leg-bruising, violent air without them...especially at night on a good hot track. And just think if CF believed in greasing tracks. Oh well.
Harvest weekends tend to be the best bet for a good ride on anything at VF. Of course, then it gets awfully hard to pry me from WT. Cold days/evenings force them to crank up the launch power on the Space Shot--or at least it did on the final Sunday last year. There aren't any words in the English language (expletives included) to describe those rides. None.

Two names I'm surprised have not been used yet are "The Flash" and "Icarus".
Actually, Parc Asterix has a coaster called Vol D'Icare, which I believe translates to "Flight of Icarus" (or something close to that).
As far as names that don't fit, how about Arkansas Twister? It's an out-and-back, not a twister. Not that most people would notice or care, but I always found that one humorous.
And speaking of Magic Springs, I think the name "Big Bad John" is going to produce a fair share of double entendres. It's not necassarily a bad name, but could you say "I want to ride Big Bad John" with a straight face? ;)
