Comments

• Ref 16: The letters load, but not what they mean which is a problem. Perhaps another ref could be found?

• Did you mean a different ref? Ref 16 is the POV.--Astros4477 (talk) 02:08, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• Ref 15 is the POV. 16 is titled "Track Layout" and does not load completely.--Dom497 (talk) 19:08, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

•  Done--Astros4477 (talk) 20:22, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "a short message is played, "Gentleman, start your engines!" is repeated in the layout at trains and theme sections. This quote only needs to be mentioned once.

•  Fixed--Astros4477 (talk) 02:09, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "In early July 2010, the ride received a unique new restraint design." Why did it receive new unique restraints?

• Because most of the Intamin restraints like that aren't padded.--Astros4477 (talk) 02:10, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "Some rides that used typical Intamin over-the-shoulder restraints include Maverick at Cedar Point and Storm Runner at Hersheypark." Source?

•  Done--Astros4477 (talk) 02:16, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "Intimidator 305 features yellow supports with blaze red track." Blaze red track? Unless you can find a source to support it, just say red.

•  Done--Astros4477 (talk) 02:04, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "The massive lift-hill structure..." Does not represent a neutral point of view.\

•  Fixed--Astros4477 (talk) 02:05, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "...which allows for longer spans with fewer supports, particularly on crest curves." Without a source, this is considered Original Research.

• I have seen this in a news article or video before. I'll leave it up while you add more comments and I'll see if I can find it.--Astros4477 (talk) 02:24, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• I have removed the statement.--Astros4477 (talk) 19:05, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

• Ref 5 isn't working.

•  Fixed--Astros4477 (talk) 02:25, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "...former land occupied by the Monorail." What monorail (don't need to go into too much detail)

• There was a Wild Animal Safari Monorail that closed in 1993.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:41, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• Again, I know that. But why not include it in the article? In my opinion, just using the word Monorail is too general.--Dom497 (talk) 00:34, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

• Changed the wording of the sentence and added a link to the appropriate section in the main article. See diff. Themeparkgc  Talk  00:49, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

• Ref 18 is a bit mixed up in terms of its name and publisher.

•  Fixed--Astros4477 (talk) 19:30, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

• "Intimidator 305 won the Golden Ticket Award for "Best New Roller Coaster in 2010" by Amusement Today" could be put into a table to go with the rest of the section.

• I don't like having a table for one entry. I think it looks bad. Tables should be meant for multiple entries and I just don't see the point in having a table for one entry. And I know there's only one entry in the Best roller coaster poll table but that'll be expanded when the 2011 rankings come out.--Astros4477 (talk) 19:26, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

The article will be on hold for 7 days.--Dom497 (talk) 19:13, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I have fixed everything.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:42, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

Not quite. The part about how fewer supports are used still doesn't have a ref. Also, take a look at my comment about the Monorail (that comment is just my opinion).--Dom497 (talk) 00:34, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

I removed the statement on the track and info on the monorail was added.--Astros4477 (talk) 19:05, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

I have passed the article.--Dom497 (talk) 19:16, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
