I know, the off-season is strong with this post, but I'm curious about what rides make y'all feel a little sick.

Firehawk is the only roller coaster that's ever made me vomit, both on the ride (thank heavens it wa while flying and not while lying) and after I got off. Batman: The Ride clones also make me feel pretty nauseated.

Also, flippy/spinny flats often make me hate my life and unsettle my stomach. And SkyScreamer (GAdv) gave me a panic attack but wasn't necessarily nauseating.

I know it spent all last season out of commission, and when it is running it's my least favorite roller coaster there, but it seems like a shame for it to sit unused for another season.

I don't spend a whole lot of time internetting (this is pretty much my only contact with other coaster enthusiasts, I've checked out other forums and such but coaster enthusiasts on the internet can be smug, elitist assholes and I want no part in that) but I figured maybe one of y'all fabulous people may have heard something.

Sometimes parks come up with really great names. Sometimes they really, really don't. What are some of your favorite/least favorite ride names?

Hydra: The Revenge is easily my favorite ride name. The first time I went to Dorney, I liked the name Hydra (what a great mythical beast to name this ride after, so fitting for the ride experience) but didn't understand what it had to do with revenge. Once I learned that Hydra is where Hercules once stood, DP won my heart.

My least favorite is the Kingda Ka/Zumanjaro combination. Both rides' names and theming leave so much to be desired individually, but the combination makes no sense.
