This article could use some spiffying up, but it is not really written like an advertisement. It documents the existence of said amusement park.Isaac Crumm 19:33, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

  • I agree, I don't see why it was tagged. It does not display a bias, IMO. V-train 21:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
I removed tag, but did replace "offers" with "has" to make it sound less addy. Fcsuper 01:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Old Marine World Africa USA Logo

I found a logo of Marine World Africa USA. But how do I put it on the page without plagerizing the owner?

  • wouldn't this fall under the same fair-use as the current logo? Ogre lawless 23:42, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:SFDK Logo.jpg

Image:SFDK Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:00, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Former kids area

Before the Looney Tunes Seaport, and even before the Popeye's Seaport, I remember that the play area used to be for a local TV station's kids club. I can't remember if it was KTVU or KOFY, but it definitely featured the characters from Animaniacs, which happened to be played on both channels at different points in time. Hmmm, something about Lori and RJ. Funny, I still have my KOFY Kids Club membership card (it hasn't self-destructed yet). Anyways, can someone help me confirm? Oh yeah, and there was a big whale ballpen/slide too. --Geopgeop 08:46, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

Oppose. The Marine World Africa use has a decades long history and contains many unique features of attractions, community relations, development history that would be cumbersome to evolve in a Vallejo site article. Cuvette 02:16, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Statement not accurate?

I believe the statement "In 2000, the park opened its fourth major roller coaster dubbed "Medusa". Medusa was built by Bolliger & Mabillard and was the first floorless roller coaster on the West Coast." is not accurate. It either needs to explain what "floorless" means (and list a link), or I'd have to say that Batman rollercoaster at Great American holds that title by at least 5 years sooner. With no citation, I propose the removal of that statemnt. Fcsuper 16:16, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

  • The link to the floorless roller coasters Wiki page is already in that sentence. V-train 06:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
