I always found some of the names of Chinese coasters rather amusing such as Loop Screw Coaster :lmao:
Strings - Bacon - Coasters - Turtles

You didn't search very hard! I merged your thread into an existing one.

Top Thrill Dragster, Kingda Ka, and Volcano: The Blast Coaster are all kinda weird.
Hurler and Montezooma's Revenge are based on unpleasant body functions.
But the oddest one is "Sky Princess" on a decent woodie at Dutch Wonderland. Really. But hey, they named the steelie "Joust" for no apparent reason, too.

Oh, and Magnum XL-200 sounds like a condom brand. They should have a Trojan coaster next to it.

What's with the donkeys anyway?
