Gold Coaster, Hiss-teria & Steel Taipan: Dreamworld reveals potential roller coaster names in trademark applications

With a new launched roller coaster due in late 2020 and an announced update of Hot Wheels SideWinder on its way, the first hints about themes come by way of recent trademark registrations for the names Gold Coaster, Hiss-teria and Steel Taipan.

Does having multiply name choices indicate DW have no idea what the theme is going to be?????????????????????????????????????????

Well they need to name two coasters... 

 

as alluded to in the article, perhaps they’re just trademarking anything that seems a possibility until they find something better, lest it be pulled from under their feet...

DW's lead car concept.

 

Good to see you're ahead of the curve with your avatar

Hiss-teria would be good as the branding for the spinning car.

crocodiles next to lazy rivers... now i guess we'll have snakes on a (coaster) train?

Out of those, I think Steel Taipan is the best fit for the coaster and it’s features. I think Hiss-teria is too corny for a high thrill coaster. Gold Coaster, while corny would work for Ocean Parade and maybe opens some opportunities for queue theming

“most venomous type of snake in the world, responsible for four confirmed deaths over the years”

 

Is the word “snake” being used here as a euphemism for old park management??

Steel Taipan sounds like coolest name in my opinion

Steel Taipan works for me. Its a good strong name that invokes all sort of badassery. The name Gold Coaster would also work well with the rename of the Sidewinder. I suspect that the old girl still has some life left in her- its a fairly simple design and the fact that it stood SBNO for close to 6 years at LPS with minimal use means that despite its age, it actually has low km on the clock. I cant see it going anywhere in the short to medium term, espcailly when there are plenty of older Arrow loopers in the world still running.

MFW I realise Sidewinder is a snake themed name.

Hello Im new, long time reader. 
I have to disagree with y’all on this. I think Hissteria is a great name when you drop the hyphen, I think spelling it out like that makes it tacky. Steel Taipan is very generic to me and doesn’t have the uniqueness of Hissteria. 

Steel Taipan is a great power name that could easily become a household name, unlike the "Joker" ride that most prefer to call the "DC Rivals Hypercoaster" (because that name sucks!)

Gold Coaster - perfect fit for Ocean Parade and a great last name for the old girl. If DW are rebranding this, surely MW can squeeze some more life out of AA which is slightly younger & in better shape.

Hissteria sounds like a better name for a spinning flat ride than a Coaster.

 

Gold rush getting a snake theme confirmed?

Yeah that's what I thought too. Like Hissteria should be the stingray sized flat that goes next to the coaster.

Hiss-Teria Vs Turbo Gwazi; what's the better name?

Steel Tiapan just sounds like the most fitting name

I like Gold Coaster for HWSW, and Steel Taipan is alright I guess for new coaster, there's gotta be better options though.

Welcome TheChad (it was great).

The problem with wordplay puns, is when it's written without hyphens or other grammatical cues to point it out to you, it gets lost.

Most people think that's just how you spell Pandamonium, for example - so the hyphen helps people get the joke. But it is, as you say, tacky - so you either make it tacky, so people get it, or the joke goes over their head.

Both opened in 1995, and as Jobe pointed out, Big Dipper was SBNO for almost 20% of it's life, so the age difference is negligible, but the wear and usage for each would be very different.

Wow huge fu*king light bulb moment. Just got the pun. The Joke definitely went over my head. 

 

Yeah it went over my head too

Maybe they are going to use both snake related names... call the track the steel taipan and the cars hiss-steria...

 

then you can ride the Hiss-treria on the steel taipan.

 

Or more likely an idea that doesn't suck
