Improved to Good Article status by Dom497 (talk). Self nominated at 22:35, 3 September 2014 (UTC).
This article qualifies as a newly promoted GA and is long enough and new enough. The four proposed hooks are rewordings of the same fact which in the article has two sources, a YouTube video and an interview in the Digital Journal that relies on information supplied by the company. You need a reliable third party source for this claim, or you could select a different hook altogether, preferably a quirky one that does not make the hook sound like an advertisement.

- @Cwmhiraeth: Thank you for taking a look at the hook. I don't understand why it really matters that the info is coming from the park because that is a reliable as it gets. But anyways, I've added an article from the Los Angeles Times. If you want another ref, Trio Tech has published the same info. Regarding the hook sounding like an advertisment, again, I don't understand. I'm stating a world record. How else am I supposed to word it (most of my hooks have been written like this)? Oh, and the reason why I put for hooks are just for the purpose of having 4 different versions of the hook...I didn't know which on would be better.--Dom497 (talk) 19:16, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
I didn't say these hooks sounded like advertisements but just that any new hook needed to avoid doing so. With the extra citation I am happy that the hook fact is sufficiently well-referenced and any of the hooks will do, though I prefer ALT1 or ALT2. As a newly promoted GA this article qualifies on grounds of length and newness, the image is suitably licensed and I did not detect any lack of neutrality or any copyright problems.
