[edit] Close Date

Did it close in 1998 or 1999? Page is inconsistent.--RexRex84 05:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rumors

A lot of the content here is not verifiable. All of the stuff under "History" is speculation and popular rumor and should not be included in the article. The story about B&M being originally contracted has never been confirmed by a authoritative source, and the author goes way into the realm of rumor mongering and myth telling.

Welcome to WP! My own opinion is that the article clearly states these are unconfirmed rumors. There should probably be cites to some sources of these rumors (e.g. RCDB or some of the coaster forums, or more preferably, a more legit news source or trade publication). But as long as the article states they are rumors, they are prevalant enough that I think they belong in the article. Thanks. --Rehcsif 17:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
It is clearly stated in the article that Drachen Fire could have been a B&M but has not be verified with "although verification of this has never been established by the park itself". On another note, if you look at the ride's layout it clearly has element's, such as the Cobra Roll, that hint it to be of B&M design. No other Arrow coaster has a cobra roll in it.

I went ahead and Stuck a Unrefernced tag on the page to note the problem.Sawblade05 16:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is necessary or correct. As noted above, the fact that this is only a rumor is well-established in the article, AND it's referenced. Since this hasn't been discussed here for three weeks (and there wasn't much debate to begin with) I'm going to remove these maint tags for now. They make the article look terrible, and this isn't exactly controvertial... --Rehcsif 04:58, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
