[edit] Other Adventurelands...

I'd like to start a page about Adventureland, the amusement park located in Altoona, Iowa. Does someone want to create an ambigious page for that? (The name is "Adventureland," but it is often called "Adventureland Park". Since Disneyland is also called "Disneyland Park" but not listed that way in the Wikipedia, I expect a decision has to be made: new page for "Adventureland Park" (which I doubt anyone would be searching for - they'd just search for Adventureland) or...? --Allen Huffman 21:59, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you're proposing.

If you want to rename the existing article and replace it with a dab page, that would be a bit of a pain, because a lot of articles point to the existing article. For user friendliness, those links would need to be updated.

How do you feel about just adding a little to the existing dab paragraph at the top of the Adventureland article? It might be changed to this:

Adventureland is an area in Disney parks, a text adventure game by Scott Adams, and a small theme park located on Long Island. Adventureland Park is an amusement park located in Altoona, Iowa. This article is about the Disney park region.

By the way, are you the Allen Huffman of the Park Hopping Podcast? ManoaChild 23:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I see how it works. That seems reasonable. And, for better or worse, yes, that's me. Adventureland is my home park, I guess. --Allen Huffman 04:51, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

It's nice to meet you, and I enjoy your podcast. ManoaChild 05:53, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Looks like we have a disambiguation page now. Is there a standard template for theme parks I should apply to the Adventureland (Iowa) page? (Thanks for the comment. It's almost embarassing to run in to someone who listens to me yammer.) --Allen Huffman 16:56, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The only ones that I'm aware of are so Disney specific that they probably won't help you. The theme/amusement park articles are all so different, that I doubt that a general template exists. One thing that I would suggest is that you browse Category:Amusement parks, to get an idea of what other articles are like. When you're finished with your initial edits, you probably want to put your article into that category (by adding [[Category:Amusement parks]] at the end of the article). That will help others find your article. ManoaChild 20:46, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
