[edit] Image

Someone keeps changing the image to a version which was taken on a cloudy, rainy day, from behind a raindrop-splattered plastic window, with poor lighting. The effect when thumbnailed is a big gray blob in which absolutely nothing is distinguishable. I have tried to explain this in edit summaries but it keeps getting reverted, so I'm going to try here. Does anyone have any reason why the other image should be preferred? (ESkog)^(Talk) 19:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm assuming they think it shows the layout of the entire ride better. But like you said, everything else with that pic is bad. I support sticking with the one you like. --Rehcsif 21:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Second of its kind?

By that, does it mean the second inverted coaster? I know that's wrong, as 2 versions of Batman - the ride as well as Top Gun came out during or before 1993, a year befor raptor.

[edit] Awards section

I edited the awards section so it better matches the Amusement Today award boxes on other coaster pages. Rpachico 15:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia sections

Please read WP:TRIVIA for our Manual of Style guideline about long lists of random factoids. It doesn't belong here. Take it to a fan blog or something. (ESkog)^(Talk) 03:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I saw this page listed on 3O. There hasn't been any discussion here, so there's really no reason to give a third opinion. Nevertheless, I'll just say that although you're right that trivia sections are discouraged, it'd probably be best to turn the items listed into paragraphs rather than just eliminate them outright. — HelloAnnyong [ t · c ] 04:17, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
