There’s marketing punch with Hercules, as well, hence why its a strong contender. The Mercury ‘connection’ to Hercules being a winged coaster, as Drachenwolf previously suggested.

Winged coaster? Who said anything about winged coaster. MMXX is not a winged.
Discussion a couple weeks ago. Post #5,631, Jul 5, 2019. I concede I’ve not been able to follow every post, and may have missed updates to the contrary.
Quite honestly, any factual updates can be found in this front page article. Anything else you might read are "guesstimates”, "wishful thinking”, ”I heard it thru the Dippin' Dots telegraph”, "I'm a coaster expert because I've ridden them for years” and "a Kingsmill deer showed me the leaked plans".
Any chance the name could be in the clues, very abstractly, as in the first letters of each verb? I.e. Escape, Run, Rise, Implore... Not necessarily in that order, and there is going to be one more teaser before the announcement.. I like the Gladiator and Hercules suggestions so far, but maybe the answer has been in front of us the entire time...
Edit: I also don't know what word they could actually make out of those letters, plus one, fictional or in the dictionary.

Their full name in Europe is actually International Amusement Installations. International Amusements Inc. is the sales representative that is based in Flower Mound, Texas.
Side note: I think the mmxx announcement date of 30 July is very intentional.
It's exactly one week before the SeaWorld 2Q earnings call.
This allows the execs to freely discuss mmxx on the call; along with whatever other new SeaWorld attractions are already officially announced by that point.

That video might be enough for Busch Gardens to consider it as officially historically documented.
Gladiators were fighters for entertainment, not soldiers or connected to the gods. They didn’t run messages, they weren’t sailors who plunged into the sea. They didn’t win to escape Pluto’s underworld. They won and received honorable recognition from Cesare and fan mail from the audience. They were the rock stars of the ancient world.

The Heroes of Olympus maybe there's some ties here because the gods mentioned so far do from straight from the series of YA Novels.

That seems like the best reference for possible names thus far. I think some the name guesses here are cool, but generic, and I believe the park had said one of the reasons they wanted unusual spelling on InvadR is so they could copyright it and make sure it would stay unique. Most other major names (I guess excluding Griffon and Loch Ness Monster) are either unique or a combination of 2+ words: Alpengeist, Verbolten, InvadR, Tempesto, Apollo's Chariot, etc. If I had to guess, I'd say the same will apply here. Either 2-3 words, or something unique that can be copyrighted.
^^ I understand where the 8 letter "leak" came from, but unless details have been hidden from my eyes, I don't see it as concrete truth worth abiding by. It may be worth considering, but having these theme guesses utilize the 8 letters as like a deciding factor seems silly to me since it has not been very confirmed. At least to the extent of my knowledge as a casual onlooker.
Correct me if I'm wrong, of course.
