Knock off

Thought it was worth mentioning that this ride seems to be a knock off of the SkyLoop (pic). Once it gets a name and possibly some news sources, we could probably add a "similar rides" section and include Superman at SFDK as well. Themeparkgc Talk 07:09, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Review

Prose review

Lead

"although none have yet to be built." --> "those have not been built yet"

History

"The world's first SkyLoop was Sky Wheel which opened in 2004 and is currently located at Skyline Park in Germany." --> "The world's first SkyLoop, Sky Whell, opened in 2004 and is currently located at Skyline Park in Germany."
"This model would continue to be the only model" --> Redundancy of "model".
"built to this day" --> change it with an specific date [e.g. "built as of March 2012"]
"none have been built to this day" --> Same recomendations as above, reword, add an specific date.

XT 150

"The train is then lowered..." --> "it is then lowered..."
"board the ride" --> I guess that "borad the train" is more accurate.

XT 450

"This model is an extension of the XT 150 as the beginning is the same." --> "of the XT 150; the beginning is the same."

I believe I have addressed the above concerns in this edit. Themeparkgc Talk 22:59, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

General comments on broadness

Is there any information about:

Who first designed the rolled coaster? [person or group]
Why the X-Coaster was closed? [Although I see it has its own article]

I've added a brief statement regarding X-Coaster's closure in this edit with an appropriate source. Themeparkgc Talk 23:15, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the table does a good job, although I'd also like more information about each installation, but that's me being nit-picky.

What sort of information were you thinking of? Themeparkgc Talk 23:15, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't exactly know. Don't pay attention to it, i'm just leaving some thoughts :P These comments are optional. — ΛΧΣ21™ 23:18, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Everything else seems to be good.

Well, I am passing the article. My general comments can be added/addressed later, they are optional. Article meets GA criteria. — ΛΧΣ21™ 23:20, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
