Hi, I am creating a series about talking roller coasters; the story would take place within various theme parks and would revolve around the roller coasters dealing with things that happen inside and outside the parks, such as unexpected ride closures, rude guests, and arrogant coaster enthusiasts.

I am looking for a name for this series. The 1st idea I had was "Raving Rollercoasters", but I'm not sure how well it fits the premise. What do you think of that title, and if you have other ideas, please let me know.

"Ups, Downs, and Twists Along The Way?" tongue Or just "Ups and Downs" if you're feeling laconic.

Yeah, except my question was ignored.

Why not, "Off the Rails"?

Or "The life and strife of Storm und Drang."?

...

Edit: Ignore the above since I only found out later it had multiple meanings.

New suggestion: "Life in the Loop."

[up] From where do you get "Storm und Drang" being a synonym for "rollercoaster"...?

[up] I just googled "synonym for roller coaster" and that was right there as number one in the list according to the synonym-site called "Thesaurus".

But I'll just change my previous post instead if it was a bad suggestion.

[up] Ah, I think that I've found the entry that you're referencing.

However, as I read that entry, it's not referencing "rollercoaster" in the sense of "an amusement park ride on rails", but rather in the metaphorical sense of "a situation with lots of sudden ups and downs".

[up] Wait, isn't that what a slice of life in an amusement park is?

[up] I don't know how they're depicting it.

But here's the thing: to call it "Sturm und Drang" would lose the double-meaning of "rollercoaster"; you'd have a title that references the "ups and downs", but not the fact that it involves rollercoasters. Or at least, so I see it.

Well I'm apologizing about that and done an addition with another title.

[up] I don't think that there's anything to apologise for, for my part—but fair enough! ^_^
