Title: Silly make believe ride names.
Post by: Tony from Tulsa on July 17, 2010, 09:33:15 PM
This is pretty self explanatory, but allow me to 'splain: Simply make up names for imaginary rides, post, and let the hilarity begin. I'll start with two of my faves: The "Vomitron". And the ever popular "Barfovator". Obviously, I don't take well to spinning and g forces. Aaaand...BEGIN!!

How about a cross between American Plunge and the part of ThuNderaTion that comes just before the tunnel!  You could call it Thunderous American Flushinator

"Cookie Tosser"

"Up Chucker"

"Its a Reality World" - ride through scenes of people b!tching at gas pumps, people sitting watching political shows, looking at employment ads at a kitchen table. Ride through a drive by gang shooting and the finale is a simulated earthquake/typhoon/tornado.

"The Bankrupter" - it turns you upside down and shakes you like a paint mixer until your change, purse, wallet and cash falls to the floor. The entrance reads "Enter at your own risk! Employees get to keep anything that hits the floor!

"Road Rager" - adult only bumper cars where you get to flip off, cuss out and threaten any and all who hit you!

"The Stock Market Crasher" - A roller coaster with no loops, turns or tunnels. It just goes straight up and straight down, straight up and straight down, etc.

SDC needs a new "liquid coaster" to replace Buzzsaw Falls, so you could combine a looping coaster with a water ride and a Funnel Cake stand (You can never have too many of those!) and call it...Are you ready?????
River of Lost Funnel Cakes!

"The 405" - simulated coaster cars that are bumper to bumper and inch along with horns blaring just like you were in L.A. at rush hour!

"O.J.: The Ride!" - ride guided automobiles (like the taxi cars at Worlds of Fun) that look like a white Ford Bronco as you wind and weave your way through simulated L.A. communities and highways! You'll go under bridges as animated dummies appear over you cheering and holding signs! Be ready! Because at the end of the ride, a young man will rush up to the side of your car and start yelling at you! This ride is for all ages (it only goes 35 miles an hour).

"Orange Rush" - Ride a simulation of Kansas City freeways and highways during construction by taking twists and turns, careening and blazing at speeds up to 60 and 70 miles an hour!!!!! Just to slow way down, come to a complete stop and edge your way to the end of the ride!

Haha! "The river of lost funnel cakes" -good one! How about a German themed , high velocity roller coaster with hairpin turns at every corner simply named "Der Neckschnapper".

Post by: PastorDon on July 18, 2010, 08:06:37 AM
"Der Neckschnapper"  Good one, Tony.  By-the-way, I listened to some of your music on line and I agree with Junior, you've got a great talent there.

Funny, we were in CO somewhere doing some extreme rock climbing etc, and on drop we went down was the "widowmaker" my wife was urging me to go....weird huh?

OK....Here's a ride called The Tornado.  Riders get into a 4 person car and ride it up through the center of a 100' tower.  At the top, it exits the tower and moves straight out away from it about 40' feet or so.  Then it starts down a spiral track that winds down around the tower in ever tightening circles before being spit out at the bottom.  To complete the effect of being caught in a tornado, large Van de Graaff generators are strategically placed, emitting lightning bolts, and it rains on you all the way down.  I imagine the G-forces are tremendous.

Mr. Mom?  You quoted Mr. Mom?

By the way, not to get too off subject, but "Hugo's Way" sounds like a title to an awesome movie!

^Naw - it would either be a chick flick or a porno.  I'd have to pass.

I was thinking it sounded like the "Carlito's Way" with Al Pacino, but just set in the Ozarks.
