For the record, the following are the only somewhat sensible guesses that were posted prior to Jeff's post on 1/6/03 at 7:20 PM where he said that someone had guessed it "save for an incorrect vowel":Thrill-Coaster, Icono-coaster, Strato-coaster, Ultra-coaster, Uber-coaster, Super-coaster, Quadra-coaster, Intense-coaster, Rocket-coaster, Jumbo-coaster, Meta-coaster, Macro-coaster, Turbo-coaster, Nitro-coaster, Blasto-coaster, Sonic-coaster, Collassal-Coaster
Even this list includes some which are really not very likely but I think I have listed all but the profane and otherwise "stupid" ones. Question for Jeff: Is the correct one in the list above?
------------------
Jeff - Now that the announcement is so imminent, could you at least answer my question above so that we can keep this game going? Also, maybe you would be willing to throw a few of the above "marketing terms" out to narrow the list for us?First CP Visit: 1970

Wasn't StratosFEAR what the Stratosphere Tower going to call their Arrow Fishook? I think so BUT they spelled thiers the normal way. I like my play on words better...------------------

1. Originally, I posted "Ultra-Coaster" which I like the sound of but it no longer fits with the "change the vowel" hint that Jeff offered. Also, I now feel that "Ultra" doesn't leave room for the next largest coaster.
2. "Strato-Coaster", as originally posted by Fluidcoasters seemed logical if it were changed to "Strata-Coaster" in order to satisfy Jeff's comment that a vowel needed to change. However, now I am thinking that "Strata" will not convey to the GP that this is the next largest coaster. The term is just too vague.
3. So, based on the above, my latest and final vote is for "Colossal-Coaster". It is simple, it conveys something very clear about size and based on kakarot's original spelling of "Collassal", it satisfies Jeff's requirement to change a vowel.
I'm done.

Going with the missing vowel theory, I'm gonna go with Rider's "extreme coaster" (spelled with the "e" this time) as a dark horse bet.
Interesting... I never even thought of that....
And that was just one of my gag guesses.

How about Stratocaster? :)
Heh. Cedar Point may have the first Stratacoaster but Disney MGM Studios had the first coaster with a Stratocaster.
