Latest revision as of 12:15, 14 July 2019

In addition to above, there are a number of common mistakes made by theme park noobs regarding ride names. Some of the more frequent include:

• Sonic Spinball - Pinball Wizzard
• Squirrel Nutty - Squirrel Nutkin
• Duel - Haunted House, Target Zone
• The Flume - Log Flume
• [ride name] - The [ride name] *exception to this being anyone saying "The Blade" or "The Smiler", which is just uber-cool, or anything else that actually does have 'the' in the name.
• Nemesis Inferno - Nemesis. This is clearly unacceptable. There is only one Nemesis, and it lives in Staffordshire.
