What coaster do you think has the best name of any other ride? Also, what name would be worst? For me, I would say the best name would be The Voyage (they didn't take it too far) and the worst would be--I dunno.

The Voyage? The Beast? Those are original, but nothing special.
I like the names Busch picks for their coasters like Montu, Kumba, SheiKra, and Kraken. Griffon...not so much. Maybe it will grow on me.

I like the creative names that other parks don't have for their coasters. I dislike the basic names that parks don't put too much thought into and are used way too much like Roller Coaster, Galaxi, Wildcat, Wild Mouse, Crazy Mouse, and others. Morey's Piers is the capital of bad coaster names, Flitzer, Rollie's Coaster, Doo Whopper, and some of their old coasters like RC-48 also had bad names.

King most of those coaster are using the actual coaster names. So I have a hard time complaining about names like Wild/crazy Mouse, Galaxy, wildcat, Corkscrew, etc.
Best to me: Poller Coaster, Exterminator, RRC, and Alpingeist.
Worst: The flying coaster, Roller coaster(NYNY), Super Wirbel, and Fairly odd Coaster

Busch Gardens comes up with great names for their coasters that match their themes (Apollo's Chariot, Alpengeist, Montu, SheiKra, Kumba, ect.).

My favorites are Boulder Dash, Storm Runner, Ghost Rider, Gemini, Jack Rabbit, anything where it describes the ride, oh and I think XLR8 was clever and Sooper Dooper Looper is lame but cute.
I Hate Wild Thing, Laser, Wild Mouse, Boomerang, Son of Beast. Millennium Force and El Toro are such great rides and the names could be so much better.
I HATE the name "Rollercoaster" If you could call that a name.
--------------------
"Riverside" Cyclone Ride count for 2006= 25
Wild Cat(LC)2006 Ride Count= 151
"What year was that thing built, 1906!?"-My friend on the Boulder Dash.
"The Zoomerang is the only roller coaster that goes backwards and it's the fastest roller coaster in the world"- Kid waiting in line for Zoomerang, who obviously hasn't been out of LC.

I really like El Toro.  Millennium Force and Son of Beast are pretty decent too, I think.

Like the Son of the Beast I would think would be a kitty coaster, not a bigger coaster...

I like Son of Beast too. I think it fits pretty well and there is a bit of a story behind it. I like rides with stories behind them.
