Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

It looks as though it is official:

Thanks for all your votes and name suggestions for the new Mat Racer - hope to see you out at Soak City this summer to ride "Dragster H2O!"

[bgroodogDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

-_- this is why you leave name choices to the planning and design department....

[Intimidator305Challenge me at Donkey Kong...I dare ya!]

^ Why? They can't do much better. Look at the names Cedar Fair has come up with in the past. "Drop Tower", "Boo Blasters on Boo Hill", "Backlot Stunt Coaster"... should I continue?

[DarienLakerCan you see the donkey in my toast?]

You forgot "Flight Deck", "Time Warp", and "WindSeeker"!

[Ace Of SpadesAm I allowed to eat donkey during lent?]

^Oh come on, Time Warp isn't bad, and Windseeker's quite cool...if a bit inaccurate .

[cprocks22If the donkey is rockin, don't come knockin!]

I always thought "The Crypt" was pretty bad. Anyway, did everyone stop caring about Dinosaurs Alive? I know I did

[TopThrill182Holy crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

While I admire CP's efforts to include the GP in the naming process--Dragster H20? No offense to its creator, but that has to be one of the worst--and most Roller Coaster Tycoon-ish--names I've heard in a while... I'm sincerely hoping that, like most other Soak City slides, the slide's name won't be prominently featured anywhere. I blame the P&D department for even letting this name get on the ballot!

[99erHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Planning & Design has nothing to do with the naming, that falls under the Marketing Department at Cedar Point. Especially in this case. Trust me, those in P&D would not have picked that name if it were up to them.

[CoasterKings908A zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey.]

I actually want to see how Cedar Point will go about with this (theming, marketing, etc.).

[MooseWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

My guess for theming: none. Perhaps the sign or a finish line.
