Funny Nicknames for rides/attractions?

[PrincessJasmine1972]

I've also been known to phonetically call PotC the "Potsy" ride.

I'm sorry, that just really tickled me...

Primeval Whril to me and my friend is the Hurly Whurly

 

[Topo Bella]

My 3 year old calls the Haunted Mansion "Grim Grinning Ghosts" because of the song. I find it funny because she can barely say it, but does so, repeatedly and very fast. It's her favorite ride (go figure...)

 

[MickeyNicki]

DH calls all of WDW...WALLY WORLD! Probably because of National Lampoons Vacation with Chevy Chase

 

[YEKCIM]

Magic Carpets of Aladdin = "Spitting Camel Ride" in YEKCIM-speak.

This year was the first time my friend was going to WDW and I was telling her about Soarin', and a few days later she was like, "I can't wait to go on Sorano!" lol so we joke around and call it that very often!

My younger dd has called TofT "Up down, up down" since the first time she rode it, and the name has stuck for the whole family. Mission Space is "space rocket"

 

[YEKCIM]

Maelstrom (Norway) = "The Troll Ride"

My niece (4) says Hepcot for EPCOT. She also calls BTMRR, the leaning train.

One of DH's former chiefs referred to WDW as Misery World. I don't know why cause he goes every year and loves it. Perhaps it's something his wife came up with. I know if I had to spend a week with him there I'd be calling it Misery World too.

My ds called Spaceship Earth the "Hockey Ball at Apricot."

He also was the one who named the "Ferris wheel of Progress."

How cute!! DD calls Chip & Dale "Chip & Dip".

That is too cute!!

In our family, whenever we refered to "tower of terror" we would say the name of the ride so fast that it became 2 syllables - phonetically "tar-tear".. We just went with it, and now we say "you want to go on tar-tear?"
