Title: will Chang get a new name? Ideas...
Post by: BackGuy on July 21, 2010, 02:02:12 PM
How about renaming it Scream Machine 2? It's lame and uncreative, but it's a more marketable name than "Chang" and it'll still give the same headaches. So why not?

Of course they can be even less creative and call it "Green Lantern" since the movie will be out next June.

(I realize we may end up not getting Chang, but the new ride will still need a name)

If they care one bit about keeping the boardwalk theme in that area, then they shouldn't name it after a movie.

They haven't cared about keeping the theme in that section since Superman came in.

It all went downhill after that.

And as much as Mr. Kinzel likes nickels, were it a Cedar Fair park, it could be The Great American ChangE Machine! :)

I can actually bank on an abbreviated name like STC1 or something.

I think a name like Nor'Easter or Storm Surge (someone else proposed Storm Surge) along with a storm theme would be really cool for the ride. I think Green Lantern would be cool too, as long as the coaster had a storyline like The Incredible Hulk.

hahahaha. It wouldn't be a huge surprise if that actually happened, which is that sad part.

I'd call it ChangE...

too bad it isnt in movie town. then we could call it the bruce wayne coaster. but green lantern sounds like a good name.

I wouldn't get my hopes up on that one.  Rather than pay for a theme, I look for current management to expect to be paid for using a theme.  Perhaps the Miracle Whipped Mile or something similarly commercial...

I see them using a name they already own and have materials ready for. Like Goliath, Viper, etc.

I'd really be shocked if they licensed anything like the Green Lantern.

^ if they do that they could name it vipers revenge since we had a viper already.

Shockwave 2
Title: Re: will Chang get a new name? Ideas...
Post by: GADVwow on July 26, 2010, 09:06:41 PM
Given that name is in use at Kings Dominion, now owned by Cedar Fair, I don't see Six Flags risking using it...and yes, I know of the name's past.

The best Shockwave ever is still kicking at SFoT. ;)

Indeed...and the worst closed for a Superman: Ultimate Flight (instead of Whizzer doing the exiting)...

I actually liked Chicago's Shockwave.  GASM was better, but I didn't headbang on the Illinois version.

Post by: AV Matt on July 29, 2010, 12:32:10 PM
How was it better especially if it banged your head? They were almost exactly the same ride. I liked both. Losing Shock Wave was a bigger loss for me at the time though.
