While it may be true that some articles were kept at AFD despite possibly not meeting notability guidelines, that is not true of this topic. The coaster was described in a feature-length article in the Allentown Morning Call, in a not-insubstantial article for the Camden, NJ, Courier-Post, and in an article in the York Daily Record. The coaster's closure was covered in The Patriot-News, which, while a local newspaper, nonetheless has a weekly circulation of half a million. – Epicgenius (talk) 18:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
