^^Ah, I forgot it was in Iowa. For the longest time I thought it was in Northern MO for some reason. Makes me feel better about it then.

Already a coaster named The Bandit as well. Honestly, the name means very little. You could call it "The World's Worst Roller Coaster" and people would still ride it. They will do plenty to promote it and with social media the way it is, there's no way it won't get it's due...if it's deserving.

Never imagined so many people would get so worked up over a ride name. And it's not like it's a bad one either. You want vanilla for a new coaster name? Look no further than Wild Eagle and Dollywood. And by all accounts, it sounds like it's a great ride. So who gives a rip about what it's called?

I don't think anyone here is worked up or really cares too much about the name. It's just something to talk about, especially since most of us expected it to be themed after a bull.

I also like the name "Ridgerunner" for the coaster. It seems to fit...they could give the coaster a "white lightning" or "moonshiner" theme...that would fit! Who knows, maybe old man Wilson the farmer was cookin' up some brew behind the barn!

Too bad they are not having a contest to name the roller coaster. Winner wins a family 4 pack of SDC season passes for 2013!

Well as long as everyone is being so vocal about throwing out ideas for a better name, I'll go ahead and submit mine for consideration.

Heist

Many variations come to mind as well, but I always prefer simplicity.

I think were getting back to the name bull.  This is the name of the top bull on the PBR circuit  :).

I really like the idea of moonshining and a bull. Both are fun. Cant wait to see what it will be. What ever  they choose I am confident they will do a job well done. :)

I really like The Baldknobber and The Scarecrow.  The theming for these two names would be endless, plus the ideas for apparel like t-shirts would be pretty interesting.
