Yeah, they very well could. It would be better though even if they tied them to something, But Wolverine is just hanging out in the middle of nowhere. King King's logo is also a direct copy of Jurassic Park: The Ride, and Tang is just...there? lol. All this added to the fact they have a ride named "Nude Viking"?? Whats wrong with these poeple?

Well, Roller Soaker is a kiddie ride in a way. It's basicully a monorail with water. I never rode it though since it always has a 2+ hour wait even when other rides are walk-ons, all 7 or so times I went. It's crazy.

I never rode it as well, I don't understand why you would want to be sprayed in the face with water?  I'd rather go on Tital Force, or those rapids.

-Hang Over (Sweden)
-Rat (Britain)
-Space Salamander (Japan)
-Dinosaur (Japan)
-Togo Stand-Up Racer (Japan, obviously)
-Swing Coaster (Japan)
-Multi-Inversion Coaster (Korea)
The Asian parks just name rides the English word for what it does!! How Stupid!!

XLC ='s Xtreme Launch Coaster... supprised no one has said anything.
And, I think Hang Over is a kick ass name, heh... when you get off that ride it'll feel like you have a hang over, so it fits the ride perfectly in my opinion

They should call a spinning coaster Sprewell, after the spinning rims.

I think that High Speed Thrill Coaster is an odd name for a coaster with an 18 foot drop and a 200 foot length

Yogurt, I gotta disagree with you on Magnum XL 200. It's not random numbers - Magnum was the first coaster to break the 200 foot barrier and it was the scariest coaster of it's time so the XL is aptly there.

Actually, Moonsault Scramble was the first coaster to break 200 ft. Magnum was the first hyper coaster, Moonsault Scramble had inversions, much like steel phantom, so it wasn't a hyper coaster

The train never reached the 200 mark though, it was basicully a structure. It only reached 60 mph.

Waaaaiitttt just a minute.... if a coaster breaks 200 feet but has inversions, its not a hyper coaster?

This one wasn't because it was a shuttle. If you have a launched 200 foot ride that falls back down backwards, then it's not a hyper

Yeah. It gets to a certain point where going any higher is ridiculous. If you were to make a launch coaster that was 1,000 feet tall, that would just be retarded. The g-forces would literally crush you and the power needed for the launch would make running the coaster inefficient.

They can definatly go higher, but it couldn't be a launched coaster. It'd have to be like a really tall MF. The launch would get too powerfull after a while
