They have the same supports in part, but that's largely superficial. One was a wooden coaster and the other is a steel coaster. That's not just a rename. It's replacement of one coaster with a different type of coaster. I've never bought into RMC i-box as "hybrid". They are steel coasters with some wood for show.
Parrot Troopers was the original name and it was located in the Safari section.
That's really what I mean by not including TT in the renames. What we have today is a different coaster credit than what came before, therefore it's more replacement than rename. I digress, it looks like Topic Twister Meister has touched down in this conversation.
The logic I’m referring to is something out of theatre history. IIRC “authentic” performances have the original dialogue, casting, setting, etc. from when the play was first written. “Relevance” is when a performance changes those to embrace a different time period or present day. To carry this over to theme parks, an attraction’s original name and theming are “authentic.” Changing that because of external influences like ownership changes or area rethemes, such as Italian Job to Backlot or Ricochet to Apple Zapple, is considered “relevant.”
That is incorrect. The flyers were originally installed in CAG as "1776". It operated on the spot where Victoria Gardens Pizza now sits. It only operated in that location for one season, 1975.
In your defense, I should have used “an” there, which would have helped clarify.
