Maybe the article should include some more pictures of the rides and maybe a more indepth explanation of the rides. Just a suggestion-RC_2010
[edit] Timber Wolf closing?
On the Timber Wolf article someone wrote that it would be demolished at the end of the 2007 season. Could someone verify this? I can't believe they'd tear down a coaster that was rated #1 wooden coaster only 16 years ago. I know it's gone way down in the rankings since then, but still. --Skylights76 21:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Update: Another user found some good recent info on the WOF blog that suggests Timber Wolf will be around for a while. Thus, I reverted the edit.--Skylights76 21:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
I was at Worlds Of Fun around a month ago and spoke to a park attendant on the issue, they said that Worlds Of Fun was planning on tearing it down at the end of the 2007 season, in part because of recent medical issues several people had after riding it. -- DKZ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.93.177.140 (talk) 01:59, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately that does not meet Wikipedia's standards for a reliable source. If they officially announce it and it's published in a reliable source then it can be included in the article. Stardust8212 03:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Other notable rides section corrections
This section said "The fury of the nile" was died red fro the halloween haunt , this practice has not been in use for at least 2 yrs.
It also said the thunderhawks water jets are not in working order for the 2007 season, they are working but they have not been used to spray passengers in the 2007 season. But they are still turned on and spraying at a low height.
Thus I made the corrections. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.235.120 (talk) 22:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright question about picture
Could we use this picture for the infobox? It's from a city government site. The current picture could be moved down into the article. --Skylights76 05:53, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not an expert on these things but the website does claim a copyright which probably means we can't use it. Stardust8212 11:01, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- I found the appropriate policy section now WP:PD#U.S._government_works states "State and local governments usually do retain a copyright on their works. 17 USC §105 only places federal documents in the public domain." so unless there's another reason that photo should be public domain then we can't use it (even under fair use it would be replacable fair use and likely deleted).

- Okay, thanks for checking, Stardust8212.--Skylights76 18:03, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

You don't see disneyland changing logo's every 35 years... okay maybe D-World did, in the 80s, but hey it was the 80s. and they have changed back... It's the 35th year why change it now!
