      I'm kinda sad that only one ride from my home park was mentioned. I was thinking that you would put X2 next to or close to Goliath but now that I am typing this I am remembering that the ride has decent theming but X doesn't really have to do with an arrow 4d coaster (unless you take in account the fact of x being for extreme)

  • @Alex-lo6yt

    Rattler / Iron Rattler is a nice double meaning.

    I’m surprised no one mentioned Top Thrill Dragster. Pun of top fuel dragster, it’s fast and accelerates like one, and ‘top’ works because it was once the world’s tallest coaster.
    And for good measure Kingda Ka is a good name too. Fitting for the tallest coaster in the world.

      Candymonium is a great coaster name. It describes what having a sugar rush is like, just like the buzz you might get from eating all the candy you will no doubt consume at Hersheypark. Perfect for a hypercoaster... and what happens when you have a sugar rush? You get hyper. :) Plus it's just so fun to say. I also like Skyrush as a name, it sounds exhilarating. I also *really* like that the moment those two coasters cross paths is known as 'Candyrush'. Who the heck doesn't wanna go on a candyrush?

      @@AirtimeThrills So at the park, they say that "Kumba" is Swahili for "roar," which would be cool if it were true, but it's not. "Roar" in Swahili is "kishindo." However, there are other great names. Montu is named after a falcon god of war in ancient Egypt. SheiKra is a play on words with the shikra, a type of hawk found in Africa that has a habit of diving straight down to catch its prey. Tigris is a Sky Rocket II themed to the tiger, but it's also the name of a large and important river in Mesopotamia. Then there's Cheetah Hunt, which is a more boring sounding name but fits perfectly because the ride, an Intamin Blitz coaster, is designed to mimic the cheetah running through the savanna. I think all or most of these names could have made it into the top 25, or at least an honorable mention.

      Magnum XL-200 has the same issue. its name literally just means "Big extra large 200 ft tall" which is sort of lame.

    12:04 here in Brazil we have a similar situation: the RCCA woodie Montezum has a double meaning in its name, since it is themed to the Aztec's governor Montezuma (the coaster is located in Mistieri section of the park, dedicated to those pre-colombian civilizations) and the name could be divided into two: monte (mount, as it has large hills), and zum (zoom).
    Just a quick note: you said that montezuma's revenge was the first launched coaster. That actually belongs to wether Katapul or Golden Loop, since both of them opened in 1977 and were the first shuttle loops by Schwarzkopf
