The reason why real names aren't used at all is quite obvious, offcourse.I guess that for the most part, I can just mentally fudge the fact that they don't have every design by just pretending that I'm working with my preferred manufacturer, make, and model as long as it has the same basic track restrictions and features. This is kind of like what I did in RCT. Its kind of weird using Arrow track to satisfy designs for Schwarzkopf loopers, Vekoma loopers, Intamin loopers, etc., but its just a suspension of disbelief. Also, its weird that we can build Giovanola inverts, and have to use them to imagine SLC's, but whatever.
I just really wish that there was a way to have a standard steel looping coaster with lapbars. The closest I can come is with the hybrid coasters (and those don't have vertical loops) and the Premier Rides launched coasters while using a Maverick-esque slow launched lifthill. A lot of things I can fudge, but seeing guests with OTSRs instead of lapbars take me out of it. Realistically, airtime is kind of meaningless with OTSRs. And, its hard to get the full effect of theming and visuals when the vision is impacted. I'm not entirely sure if this is factored into excitement or not, but in my mind it bothers me.
