Is the name actually Medusa Steel Coaster, or is that the English translation?

The name "Fujiyama", for example, is a play on the common American mistranslation of the name of Mount Fuji. It would make much more sense for somebody who was a Japanese native as opposed to a tourist. It's not exactly the same type of situation, but it's similar.
It's the actual name. It's one of those cases where something will sound much better or make much more sense in its native language than to people who speak another language trying to understand it.rollermonkey said:

Does it really matter? Everyone's just going to call it Medusa anyway.
I mean everyone still calls them Hull City not Hull City Tigers

Ok I mean it's not like there's a huge English-speaking population in Mexico City anyway. The name matters even less because it's a foreign language, or at least a second language, for most of the locals. It's like all those pathetically named rides all over southeast Asia - it doesn't actually matter at all.

No, but for the half the board that may never get to Mexico City, what else can they discuss about the ride at this point?

I've been to the park, and it's surprisingly nice. I just don't see myself getting to Mexico City again anytime soon, what with being an unemployed, full-time college student for about three more years.

The operations are pretty good, too. No pimply-faced Mexican kids running the rides. It's almost all adult ride ops.

I knew I was doing the right thing in Nolimits, when I was building these "unrealistic" wooden coasters. lol
