one of the address databases at work offers four alternate names for every road and it still doesn't capture the complexity of the state's road system
They are not, presumably, looking to expand into the UK? (Or perhaps, per Blackquill, this is a trap - they are from the UK, and they've not recognised US roads often maintain the same name for their entire length)
About a decade ago the park lost its vintage 1919 roller coaster, the Jack Rabbit
Aww! Dammit. Not just for its name, but its heritage. *sigh*
If you took someone to the park and told them it was built in 1990 they wouldn't have any reason to disbelieve you
Mm, I rather suspect Alton Towers and Thorpe Park could be seen similarly. But then, they're owned by the same corp that indulges in all the usual concession excesses one would, sadly, expect of a theme park. (They also own several other venues, including Warwick Castle. From the roomie's description, it's much as you'd expect of an Octopus Corporation business, with everything trying to make money, and lots of it)
