You're not in the minority. That's the first thing I thought of when I first saw it, that the ride sounds like something we'd see at one Cedar Fair's non-flagship parks!

Well I used to think "Verbolten" was downright stupid, but I've grown to like it. It's taken on its own identity in addition to being a fairly clever play on a German word.

The Swedish word for Invader is "Inkräktare".

The word Invadr is a play on Invader, which is LATIN in origin, derived from the word invādere which means "to attack".

Point, but the those of Norse descent do translate words that way, take the legends of the Draugr for instance

Bottom line - there's no evidence anywhere on the internet that the word "invadr" exists in any Viking context whatsoever.

True the internet is not always the best source for this information It's always best to go to archival evidence for this sort of thing.

In case anybody isn't following the Pass Member Preview Day thread, below is the full video of today's announcements including the announcement of the new coaster!
Note that the video is still processing, so its quality may not be great at the moment.

I personally like the idea of the ride. I mean come on we have London Rocks in the Globe Theater. The Globe was Shakespeare who died in 1616 with modern rock which is a 400 year old difference in time frame.

I don't think this ride is "threatening" enough to be named "Invadr."

I don't think that really validates this. Go back and read the original London Rocks thread. People were livid about the idea of a 1960's rock-themed show in a Shakespearean theater. People only started to accept the idea after deciding that the show would be kept indoors (ha!) and likely only last a few years. Can't really say the same thing for a roller coaster.

Anybody else think the coasters name has already been decided? I think they want people to feel included while feeling that THEY helped pick the name. When looking at the names I just find it hard to believe invadR would lose to (My Referance to the real name) Clash Of Clans: THE RIDE...... Well, I kinda like invadR and have no problem with it being the name invadR I just think it was pretty much already decided at the start.
