Comments

Three-sentence lead is a little brief, try to make sure you summarise all the sections of the article.
Why is "Floorless Coaster" capitalised?
"Scream for the 2003 season.[6] Scream would be the park's sixteenth roller coaster.[7]" ->"Scream for the 2003 season,[6] making it the park's sixteenth roller coaster.[7]"
" hourly capacity of 1440 riders per hour" two things, one -> 1,440 for consistency with the rest of the article and two -> you don't need both hourly and per hour.
No point in abbreviated OTSR if you don't use it.
"station" is overlinked.
"[8][6][12]" numerical order please.
"Best Steel-Tracked Roller Coaster" -> " Best steel-tracked roller coaster"
Put an en-dash in 2011.
Check refs for en-dash, e.g. ref 21's title.
Consistent date format, e.g. compare ref 11 with ref 12.

Not too much wrong here, so on hold for a week. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:37, 24 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I have addressed all but your second issue. Floorless Coaster is capitalised because it is the name of a product/model of roller coaster offered by Bolliger & Mabillard (see the article for details). When the term is used descriptively, I have not capitalised it. Themeparkgc Talk 03:41, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just one picky moment, can you add "format=pdf" to the refs which need it? Then I think we're done. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:49, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
