Something like Canada's Wonderland Station would be fine if a station serves basically just one thing in the middle of nowhere (same as some American stadia), but if transit lines are built out to those sorts of examples, stations would probably be named after the one attraction they serve, anyway, so rights may not need to be sold. Yorkdale is an example. If it had been called Ranee from day one, the mall's owners might have tried to get the name changed at some point, but it was called Yorkdale just like the mall (with "Yorkdale Road" being a good alibi).
Maybe generic corporations would try to buy station names randomly, so Eglinton West would become Fabricland or St. George would become ScotiaBank, but there's no way Toronto would ever let this happen for less than, I don't know, a half billion dollars?
