Names
Other names for the Fabbri Versions include Discovery, Excalibur, Excalibur 2, Terroriser, Obliterator and Circulator. The Bussink version has also been named Xcalibur, Evolution and Imperator. The Bussink version is a pretty rare attraction as there are only three produced. Xcalibur is located at Six Flags St. Louis (formerly operated at Six Flags Great Adventure and prior to that traveled throughout Europe before being rethemed and sent to its current location). Imperator was the second model produced. It started out traveling the fairs in Europe until it found a permanent home in Vienna's Prater Park, until 2003 when it was dismantled and sent to travel the fairs again for the next few seasons. Imperator is now sold to China and has not yet been spotted anywhere. The third model is the most mysterious as it is the least known model of the three. It is believed that the third model in storage somewhere in the Netherlands. The Fabbri version is far more common and can be found at parks and fairs around the world.

Famous quotes containing the word names:
“I do not see why, since America and her autumn woods have been discovered, our leaves should not compete with the precious stones in giving names to colors; and, indeed, I believe that in course of time the names of some of our trees and shrubs, as well as flowers, will get into our popular chromatic nomenclature.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Men have sometimes exchanged names with their friends, as if they would signify that in their friend each loved his own soul.”
