I miss the Go Bananas name! More accurate names: Flight of Fear - You get launched into outer space, literally on a flight of fear. Also, I've seen several people get to the station only to chicken out and leave because they see it launch into the unknown. They make their own "flight of fear!" Hurricane (Fun Spot Kissimmee) - Not the greatest name, but it's a coaster in Florida that's the same model (Hi-Miler manufactured by E&F Miler) of Star Jet at Casino Pier that replaced the famous Star Jet that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy (which was a similar type of coaster) Kumba - Its name means "Roar" and boy does it roar Inaccurate name: Iron Gwazi - Gwazi was indeed correct, being themed to the half lion half tiger, but Iron Gwazi is somehow a... crocodile?

I feel that Wildcat's Revenge is very accurately named. The "original" Wildcat (not the first one at HP) was a very good coaster. Just like a cat, which twists and turns while chasing its prey, the Wildcat twisted on itself, making it a great ride. Unfortunately it became very rough, thus the decision to have RMC redo it. Thus, it was reborn as Wildcat's Revenge, even more twisted than before.

Windjammer killed me, that’s so funny 😂 Other ones I thought of • Scream is accurate since people do tend to scream on it. They ride out loud • Rattler was probably an accurate name based on those POV’s and the fact that it was I believe made by RCCA • Slinky Dog Dash is inaccurate with how slow that goes; it doesn’t dash. Same with rides like (Carolina) Goldrusher, they aren’t much of a rush. • Full Throttle may be traveling at full throttle speed-wise but it’s more like half throttle with how short the ride is • Maxx Force isn’t that forceful outside of the launch; the rest of the layout is fun, but not particularly forceful Edit: throw Tiger Terror on the accurate list too. If you’re a kid riding that as your first coaster, it will probably give you some terror with the first helix and ejector hill. It’s very intense for a 20 foot tall ride
