History
The ride was originally called Poison Ivy's Tangled Train; however, for unknown reasons, it was rethemed to Catwoman in 2007.
There had been confusion over the coaster's actual name due to conflicting information from different sources. The park's website and map information usually named it Poison Ivy’s Twisted Train, but the sign on the roller coaster itself used the Tangled Train designation. The Six Flags website had apparently corrected this for 2006 and used the Tangled Train name until the name was changed to Catwoman's Whip in 2007.
gollark: Thus, help?
gollark: Alternatively, I can just make the adding-to-nickname-mapping bit happen at exactly the same time as the checking-if-nickname-exists bit but that would be really annoying.
gollark: Another would be very aggressive locking or something.
gollark: One possible way to fix this would be to have a central "broker" task which receives all state-updating commands ever and maintains stateful state, but this would be annoying too unless I can give everything else read access to it, and actually getting responses back would probably be irritating.
gollark: i.e. two people try and register with the same nick at exactly the same time, and then it has two people with the same nick because each time it checks it hasn't been written yet, and then everything breaks horribly.
