 | It's been a while since this topic was up, and since the newsgroup has
been lethargic lately, I thought a topic on coaster names would be
good. I was wondering if any of you have names for coasters that
aren't currently used by a coaster?
What are your favorite coaster names? Least favorites?

500 feet.
I said it first, just like I did for TERA TERA TERA.
No one said it could be done. The fucks on CFB said no way. Well,
guess what, it's close, and soon we'll have a
PETA PETA PETA.
Of coarse, Intamin won't call it that just to give someone else credit.
No way they can give me credit for calling it that. They'll come up
with some dumb fucked up name like Megaosphere.
Just like I did a couple years ago, I'm calling for it.
PETA PETA PETA
500 Feet.
It's closer than you think.
Let's look it up.
Troposphere
The troposphere starts at the Earth's surface and extends 8 to 14.5
kilometers high (5 to 9 miles). This part of the atmosphere is the most
dense. As you climb higher in this layer, the temperature drops from
about 17 to -52 degrees Celsius. Almost all weather is in this region.
The tropopause separates the troposphere from the next layer. The
tropopause and the troposphere are known as the lower atmosphere.
Stratosphere
The stratosphere starts just above the troposphere and extends to 50
kilometers (31 miles) high. Compared to the troposphere, this part of
the atmosphere is dry and less dense. The temperature in this region
increases gradually to -3 degrees Celsius, due to the absorbtion of
ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer, which absorbs and scatters the
solar ultraviolet radiation, is in this layer. Ninety-nine percent of
"air" is located in the troposphere and stratosphere. The stratopause
separates the stratosphere from the next layer.
Mesosphere
The mesosphere starts just above the stratosphere and extends to 85
kilometers (53 miles) high. In this region, the temperatures again fall
as low as -93 degrees Celsius as you increase in altitude. The chemicals
are in an excited state, as they absorb energy from the Sun. The
mesopause separates the mesophere from the thermosphere.
The regions of the stratosphere and the mesosphere, along with the
stratopause and mesopause, are called the middle atmosphere by
scientists. This area has been closely studied on the ATLAS Spacelab
mission series.
Thermosphere
The thermosphere starts just above the mesosphere and extends to 600
kilometers (372 miles) high. The temperatures go up as you increase in
altitude due to the Sun's energy. Temperatures in this region can go as
high as 1,727 degrees Celsius. Chemical reactions occur much faster here
than on the surface of the Earth. This layer is known as the upper
atmosphere.
The upper and lower layers of the thermosphere will be studied more
closely during the Tethered Satellite Mission (TSS-1R).
----------------------------------
So I guess the next choice is a Mesophere coaster right?
I don't care. To me it's a
PETA PETA PETA
You go Intamin.

I'm almost giving up hope that I'll ever see a Bukkake:The Ride.

Beaver Land Mine Ride, but I can't decide if it's my favorite name or
least favorite.
