Hahaha! I'm sure the lego reference was also mentioned about Zadra's trains as well.
Personally, i'm digging these and i'm positive the trains will look awesome once on the track

It's crazy when you think how much Shiekra used to dominate the skyline! Oh how things have changed
This Park had a great lineup to start with but now it's something else haha

But it's still just a barrel roll, right?
"Death Roll" is over imaginative coaster enthusiasts trying to think of something where there's nothing. Colossus has five of the things, for ****s sake...
EDIT: Two points of clarity - yes I'm including the RMC engineers and/or park marketing in the statement above if that what they've named it, and yes I think this coaster is going to be brilliant (including the barrel roll).

I respect the thematic naming of the element for a bit of fun, but:
Barrel roll
Jojo roll
In-line twist
Heartline roll
Zero-G roll
And now death roll
This is getting a little out of hand!
(Yes I know some of them have subtle differences but fundamentally they are all more or less the same thing)

I love this post because it literally tells me nothing. It's a dumb name, and I know how crocodiles eat.
Keep up the quality posts xx

I think this is a coasters-enthusiast issue. Because I think that every normal person would find it kinda cool that one of the elements the coaster is doing is named to some behaviour of the animal.
If you would have a dolphin themed coaster with a cut-back, then I would certainly not mind if people start calling it a tailflip for example

You forgot the "corked roll" and the "lagoon roll".
The Lagoon Roll is at least a fundamentally different bit of track shaping though. I mean, I'd call it a double barrel roll, but I can live with that having it's own name. It's definitely not as tenuous as the death roll.
