The Random Roller Coaster I happened upon when I visited RCDB today had me a little taken aback! Turns out, a Vekoma coaster in Germany that's been called Wirbelwind since 1982 got some new Vekoma trains and new name for 2010!

Yep!

You won't hear a complaint out of me... As long as their ride is called Speed Snake, ours can't be...

Reptile Cage is still an option though!

Try denying that one, Fort Fun.

LOL it looks like a portable ride.

looks like they just want to be as cool as Diamondback....and jealous that they dont have it...

Ooooh dearie. Copyright infringement much?

Cedar Fair will sue!

If only this coaster was in the US (or possibly Canada), though.

Its good to see that Cedar Fair's innovative ride naming process is being picked up worldwide though!

Don't worry, I'm sure we'll be seeing Speedhawk sooner rather than later.

GYK, still mesmerized by the snake train's lips?

Think of the revenue that could be made consulting with other parks, ride manufacturers, etc. on their attractions new names!

"Fast Metal Thing"

"Bumpy Wooden People Mover"

"200 Foot Paper Weight"

"Flight Deck"

"Vortex"

"Upside down"

The possibilities are endless!

It seems that ride names are getting...generic. The people in charge must be running out of creativity.
