RailBlazer

RailBlazer is a very good name, but there are some other rides with similar names.  The River King Mine Train at Six Flags St. Louis has been operating since 1971, but it was renamed Rail Blazer when it was converted into a stand-up coaster in 1984.  Problems with the new stand-up trains as well as a fatality on the coaster caused the ride to revert to a conventional sit-down in the next year.  Additionally, the ride returned to being called River King Mine Train in 1985.  More recently, the Rail Blazer coaster opened at Bahria Adventure Land in Karachi Pakistan in 2019, just one year after RailBlazer opened in California.
