LC12 real name predictions

[Mark]

I reckon something like Apocalypse. However, given their naming for previous rides it doesn't necessarily have to be related to the theme of the ride and could be a bit more 'obscure' like Slammer, Rush or Stealth. I remember when Slammer and Rush were revealed as the names and people wondered what the hell they were on... Now they perfectly fitting names.

I still like my End Game

Penis

Ride penis at thorpe.

If the map is anything to go by, then that will make one of many that have...

 

[OfficialAltonTowers]

Or they could just steal Nemesis' again

Nemesis: Apocalypse...

What? they already have Nemesis: Inferno, why not have another one? lol :roll:

seriously though, something like Crisis (Crysis) is quite befitting, or even 9/11: The Experience, Maybe Fou14teen: What Alton Could Have Had, i could go on for days...

(Family Fortunes for those who havn't seen peter kay's live standup: look what you could have won)

Crash: The Ride at Thorpe Park (R)

Yeah, Crash was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw this topic. Dunno. I can't imagine the name being particularly inspiring, whatever they end up with.

Crash the ride would just sound like a fantasy from this film;

^That's part of the problem though. Most of the names that have been suggested so far in this topic are already the names of disaster films and/or other rides.

Thing is, there's a better than evens chance that the ride will carry an IP (personally I wouldn't bet far side of Modern Warfare, given Thorpe's obsession with the demographic that visits it), and on that basis, it's hard to bet against Thorpe proving somewhat predictable and naming the ride after disaster films and/or other rides...

I still like apocalypse, crash is quite good, but it doesn't inspire

END GAME

*UPDATE*

Probably old news but apparently to some random fanboys youtube video the ride is going to be called "Storm Surge"

Interesting

^Nope, nothing interesting there. Did you look at the date that video was uploaded? Probably not, it was 18 Decemeber 2010. The reference to Storm Surge was probably due to the fact that they were still building Storm Surge (you know, that new raft ride thing?) at the time. They don't once suggest that this will be called Storm Surge, and it they did then they're fools.

Just another stupid, and pointless, video/post in these threads. :roll:

Sorry

I got all excited and nearly wet my pants, i thought i heard the name storm surge somwhere but i couldnt quite remember, i dont reguarly visit thorpe as its a good 4 hour drive, but since i saw Raptor running i just want to go on LC12 lol,

Oh Well, you cant blame a man for trying (well you can, but we wont go there...)

 

[Mit deLuxe]

They will probably get some movie studio to sponsor the ride and name it 2012, and have John Cusack in a pre-show mumbling about how he's going to save everybody.

 

[Mysterious Sue]

I think' End Game' is too similar to the theming for Saw for my liking

2012 immediately says 'end of the Mayan calendar' to me, in which case the Apocalypse and Doomsday suggestions would be more plausible. Or maybe Annihilation or Devastation, or my personal favourite, Cataclysm.

 

[alexdude98]

'Death Flight' might be good. Calling it '2012' may mean it would have to be renamed in 2013.

 

[Coastermaniac94]

^ have to be renamed every bl**dy year

 

[wabbit42]

I think it'll have an obscure name. Possibly an abbreviation for something. A codename for a mission/operation/investigation/project. Like, just for a crap example, A-2012 or something. Possibly with the letter X in it for good measure.

This.

And if it is called 'Armageddon' or 'Apocalypse' I might not ride it.

 

[T0M]

Air: Disaster

 

[slappy mcguire]

The Chavinator.

My hopes for a decent name aren't particularly high.
