How about Ocean wave?
The Wave - Shockwave re-theme
- Thread starter alfie8
- Start date
Events staff dressed as beach vendors try and steal your wallets as you queue for "Crime wave!"
Race to complete your ride before your tea's warmed through in "microwave!"
A ride that will make your hair stand on end...."Blow wave!"
Or install some radiators and you have Heatwave!
And after we could have a Mexican wave
I can’t see them going with that, there’s already two water rides with that name at Thorpe and Crealy, plus they already have Tidal Towers.
not leaving themselves many options though. Maybe they should have gone with a surf theme with Ride the Wave as a tag line if they wanted a reference
Wave Rider?
All the suggested names are pretty nice but I feel none of them are very... significant. For example, 'Wave Rider', (in my opinion) doesn't really sound like much of a thrill coaster, more like a kiddy flat ride that goes round a track. I guess the names could fit in with the family demographic but I still don't think any of the suggested names sound very intimidating or scary.
Doubt it given they have Wave Swinger, I’d say it’s too similar. I can’t think of anything that works other than Tidal Wave to be honest

I would not. (I didn't enjoy Shockwave) I don't really agree with Enso being an extra charge personally.
I don't think they will do a stand up option anyway as it would require a seperate queue and height restriction (which the sit down trains changes).
As much as people will miss stand up, the park has made the decision, its time for a sit down Shockwave
I think there is a real danger that when you charge extra for things you strongly devlaue your "standard" offering.
I am not a fan of upcharges for rides. I personally think once you pay to come into the park, you should be able to joing the queue. I was disappointed when they joined the band wagon with fast pass. I will not pay for fastpass or alternative options like riding backwards. As stated above, it does devalue the standard offering.
If they wanted to do the stand up train then I think they would have to do a sit down train and a stand up train and offer the alternative trains with separate queues similar to apocalypse. It also is not the way frorward for family thrill. I personally prefer the family thrill rather than the thrill rides now that I am a bit older he says coughing!

Certainly building up to it.
