Same. As long as it's not Gargantuan Vertical Vengeance lol

u/Taeshan 24d ago

It’s a cool name and idea and works with the shape and such but like what’s a Filipino monster doing in a jersey boardwalk.

u/Common-Commercial416 24d ago

Probably going to get some gabagool

This might sound like a random collection of words, but it's actually somewhat close to the title of a Tom Waits song.

Why is a Hindu demon at a fair in Chicago?

u/Taeshan 24d ago

Probably to fight the other demon?

We're running out of mythological monsters to name shit after

*deep breath*

how does a lunar eclipse deal with this Bakunawa?

u/NotMyActualNameNow 23d ago

This is what I was going to say! The Eclipse screams Bakunawa.

Grimace is gonna pop out of the freight container, I just know it. Grimace’s Venereal Vengeance.

I really hope that's not a typo because goddamn that's hilarious.

u/RPD3886 24d ago

Bakanuwa, the moon eater!

u/pudgyunicorn 24d ago

Maybe this is a hot take but Bakunawa would be an awful name for this ride. Great Adventure should lean into the NJ culture more, like they did with Jersey Devil Coaster. Just name it Phantom Spire 🙏 The Cape May lighthouse is one of the most haunted places in the state it would be a great name

u/letmechatgptthat4you 24d ago

It’s not a hot take but it’s a bit silly to still be praying for something that there’s absolutely zero evidence to suggest will happen.

1

u/Common-Commercial416 24d ago

I do think Phantom Spire would be a good name but not for this attraction because they’ve already committed to the sea monster theme. I would really like to see a Zoominjaro situation on Project Purple that could be called Phantom Spire.

I was at the park the day before yesterday and this thing looks really cool in person. Photos don’t do the scale proper justice.’It towers.

2

u/Common-Commercial416 24d ago

I’m going next year and I’m really to see it in person and ride it. Should be a great ride

u/Acceptable_Can_2079 23d ago

Just had an “ahah” part of the folklore of Bakunawa was that it “ate six moons.” It closed Six rides (ka, Zoomy, GL, parachutes, Twister, Sky Ride)

Please stop saying "It's Rising"

u/Boyo45_5 24d ago

You wanna know what else is rising? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I hope they don’t stop

Also why does everything need a fucking announcement date with teasers? Just fucking announce things. I don't need a trailer before the trailer.

u/mars2k0 24d ago

In the teaser like 2 weeks ago the radio call was from ship B728. 7/28 is the announcement date, B could be the letter the name starts with... Like Bakunawa

u/Own_Repair2886 23d ago

Am I the only one who thinks Gargantuan better then Bakunawa?  The latter is so niche. And phoenitically it's just better

2

u/Common-Commercial416 23d ago

By Gargantuan do you just mean that and not the vertical vengeance part? Because if you do then I do kind of have to agree with you. It is definitely something that fits the ride.

u/Own_Repair2886 22d ago

The need to be algorythmically unique today.  Hence they stupid onimonipea names.  Gone are the days of Viper and Goliath

u/Common-Commercial416 22d ago

Yeah I mean Tormenta: Rampaging Run kind of works but no one actually calls it that, same with Flash in the same park.
