Don't count on it. There's a hockey team in Cleveland that already bears that name.


Not exactly the same situation, but:

Yes and the Blue Streak was named after Sandusky High School's logo.
I live just down the street from Cedar Point, and I guess you'd label me as a fanboy!

^I think the blurriness on its own would be enough to keep others from using it.

Here's an Idea of mine that I think Cedar Point should use.

A bi-annual coaster event for the first and last riders of the year for the three big coasters. People bid for seats on TTD, MF MV and the proceeds go to charity. The rides will be open during Early Entry for the specific riders, each ride should run at full capacity (all trains) for the bidding riders. The riders then can ride the ride as many times as they want for an ENTIRE HOUR. And the ride is open only to the bidders. They could do this for opening and closing day.

A donkey is a domesticated member of the Equidae or horse family.

^Well, Kingda Ka is definitely of "extreme height," even it if is a one-trick pony. Not surprised at the outcome of this week's episode.

I305 and Steel Dragon 2000 would of been better competitors, my opinion. I wish they would of made 6 competitors instead of 4 :?r But it was still entertaining regardless.

I still don't see how Aftershock (Giant Inverted Boomerang) beat Montu, Alpengeist and Shiekra? :wtf:

^I agree that they could've made better choices for this group; MF was the best of this bunch, though (even though it's the only one of three I haven't ridden).
