Great Coaster Names That Haven't Been Used Yet.

[balrog]

I meant just Apollo by itself would sound good (I did fear similarities to Apollo's Chariot), I see what you mean with those hammer though, so I guess Thor: the ride has been used in some way.

Thor is also the proposed theme/name for a future B&M flyer project at Asterix. So it might happen really soon (rumored for 2019).

Or maybe instead of Aurora Borealis, name it Borealis and make it Portal/Half-Life themed.

I like some of these (like 'Malevolence') and ones that others have suggested, but do ALL coaster names have to evoke coolness or power or fear? Wouldn't a silly name make the ride more memorable? How about, for example, Chained Banana? There could be theming with images of an angry plantain breaking free of its manacles. They tried to contain the potential of this fruit, but its ripe goodness cannot be subdued. And YOU will experience its liberation ... as expressed in coaster form.

Thunderball. The term for the mushroom cloud that appears after a nuclear explosion (hence the Bond book/film in which nuclear weapons are stolen being called Thunderball). Would work for maybe a launch coaster or even a shot or drop tower.

I think a Portal ride would be more interesting than a Fallout ride since there are already tons of coasters with the "apocalypse" theme.

I got the idea of skyfish from:-

I think the answer is yes. Grown-up coasters are supposed to be powerful and frightening and intimidating.

A kiddie coaster could have a goofy name like Wacky Worm, but I think we're generally talking about bigger coasters.

Heres another one for you:-

'Maximum magnitude'

Generally, I'd say yes too, but the more I think about it, the more I really, really want this to happen:

Coasty McCoasterface

Well, clearly parks agree with you as 99% of coaster titles go for the same kind of image.

But I think there's a reason that in film casting against type can work well, and I think that a darkly comedic or tongue-in-cheek or even strange and goofy name could go well with a big, terrifying coaster. If they hit the right note, it would make the coaster more of a stand-out phenomenon than the next Goliath or Intimidator or Seriously Scary Thing. I think it would create more personality.

Then again, metal bands these days always seem to go for the same Cookie Monster growl with the vocals, and either you think that's powerful and initimidating, or you think it's boring and kind of sad.
