News Project 2027/Skyland/Purple: 375-ish Foot Tall Mack Rides Spinning Shuttle Coaster (Phantom Spire? Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance?)

[NYCityBoy]

I rather like the name "Gargantuan". Sounds big and scary. They can leave out the "Vertical Vengeance" part IMO.

I think another clue points to the station resembling a container ship.

Whomever came up with that name needs to be fired. Put some other word in front of Vertical Vengeance and maybe it would be okay

Superman retheme ab to be Superwoman: Voluptuous Vixen. They're obsessed with double Vs more than Nixon was

I just cannot bring myself to believe they would use such an incredibly terrible name. Legacy CF loved trolling names ahead of announcements, I have to believe this is the same.

I'd prefer slop spire as an official name over GVV.

 

[CoasterBroCam]

They said they’d announce in June. Fucking liars. Never coming here.

Gargantuan seems fine, the VV just seems too tacky.

It could work though.

Lex Luthor Vertical Vengeance

Lex Luthor Vertical Vengeance

To be fair Vertical Vengeance sounds like some kind of plot Lex Luthor would have in his repertoire.

 

[DWNitro]

I still feel like Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance is like a tagline or something. Like in a commercial they would say “Come experience Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance on Phantom Spire at Six Flags Great Adventure”, or something of that sort

But the announcement date seems to be official at least

 

[Clear]

There is just no absolute way they named it this after spending all that time wanting to get the theme correct

It’s like Chevy coming out with a new car and calling it the fiberglass Road Blaster

Ryan: don’t do it. Don’t do this to us

 

[Nitro230]

It’s like a bad joke at this point. I’m not surprised….just disappointed that they’re going with this name.

They come out with an announcement and show us some AI generated logo I will be throwing hands.

Do better Six Flags

I’m a bit surprised the announcement is so late in July. I know they’re waiting for Shoreline Pier to properly open before announcing project purple but I was still expecting the first 2 weeks of July. Track-work is almost definitely going to be complete by that point.

Also yeah the name is really bad, like one of the worst.

Yeah, putting all my faith on the name into them knowing this and playing with us. Gargantuan and Vengeance are workable on their own with other combinations of words, but not together. It's so literal. If we're doing that let's just cut the crap and call it Giant Roller Coaster. But I think it makes some sense, actually, after friggin' Tormenta Rampaging Run. GVV is sadly consistent. If it's GVV, I'd be happier with Barney's Big Ride and embrace the purple and some really crazy non-DC IP.

There's absolutely no reason to think this is teasing the actual name. It seems far more likely to me that they're just trolling thoosies with the name and teasing the planned announcement date.

Ultimately though, maybe I'm biased because I really do just absolutely refuse to believe that they would actually name this thing Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance. We have shitty ride names in this industry, don't get me wrong, but Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance is truly a level all its own—particularly for a ride of this importance. Imagine if for the next decade Six Flags was forced to advertise the park alongside the name of its flagship coaster, "Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance." There's just no way, surely...

Really hope so. I can see a teaser ad on their socials in the coming weeks going something like, "On July 28, gargantuan vertical vengeance comes to Six Flags Great Adventure as [The Kraken] is unleashed!"

I feel like this is the type of ride that absolutly should not get an ai logo. Not that the other ones should have but considering how big of a deal this is for the park the last thing they wanna do is look like they've cut corners. They need to REALLY make it look like they give a fuck. They need a home run on any and all fronts they can get.


On another note, they are really about to drop the Cherry Poppin Daddies of rollercoaster names on us

 

[northdetective]

on its face, Ryan Eldredge's hesitation to declare this the replacement for Kingda Ka means nothing to me, but I am now clinging to it as a sacred truth that protects me from this awful name because the "Vertical Vengeance" tagline implies a direct successor

 

[KrillAtTheDriveThrough]

Honestly that implies a 50% chance they are messing with us (please) but then the other 50% implies the "real" ka replacement's gonna be named gargantuan vertical vengeance, aka we're just postponing the inevitable lmao

 

[the_pantsmith]

Tormenta Rampaging Run is also such a stupid name with the same naming convention so I’m personally bracing for GVV to be the name. Both of them scream ChatGPT. Praying for Phantom Spire but expecting the worst

 

[Clear]

To tag line something Phantom Spire and see such a huge positive reaction from the fans and the enormous support from everyone …..

Just to be like: “chat gpi come up with a rollercoaster name for a tall rollercoaster that’s gigantic and a sea monster but keep it in line with recent names like flash vertical velocity”

Is next level tone deaf. Proof the upper managment still doesn’t listen
