Closed for maintenance
Marth The Hero King, When a ride is closed for maintenance or even for repairs, if the amount of time is indefinite and generally considered short-term, then we usually don't track that on Wikipedia. Major repairs that are covered in the media (by more than one reliable source) will generally be listed in the article. However, this shouldn't change the status from operating to closed, unless the closure spans a significant amount of time and is receiving a lot of press coverage. Currently, that's not the case with the September 2017 incident, which hasn't even been confirmed by the park. Speculation should be kept to a minimum and will undergo heavy scrutiny.
Other editors at the project have brought this up many times in the past, and one of the most recent discussions is here:
I'm almost tempted to remove the speculation altogether, as it's not really beneficial to the article at this point. Wikipedia isn't a
Work Needed
This article needs some updating. JParksT2023 (talk) 14:11, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- Care to be more specific? Not much has changed since the article was granted GA status. The coaster is still one of only two strata coasters in the world. It is still the second tallest, with the second-highest drop and the third-fastest speed of any coaster in the world. It still has six trains, each painted a different color. It still uses the same hydraulic launch to propel the trains to 120 mph in four seconds. What do you think "desperately" needs to be changed?—JlACEer (talk) 21:39, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
- I do see some {{citation needed}} tags, so that could be an issue if not cleaned up over the next few months, but those were just added a month ago, so there's time. JParksT2023, anything specifically you think needs addressed besides that? --GoneIn60 (talk) 17:52, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
- My main concern was the tags (I did not see the date they were added, which is my fault). As you know, tags like the citation needed tag can constitute an immediate failure of a good article review, so that is what I was mainly concerned about. I was also thinking that this article could use some updating as well with more recent information. I do see your point, —JlACEer, but I do think that it could be useful to find more recent information to update the article with. I was a little harsh in my original statement, but I do think it needs to be cleaned up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JParksT2023 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, well, harsh or not, it did call attention to the problem. It's unfortunate that content was added without proper citations. I've located several sources and added them to the article. I'm still trying to locate a source for the structure having been completed shortly after the official announcement. It would seem logical since the highest point was topped off just one month prior, but we can't draw our own conclusions. I hope we can find a source as it was so unusual for any park to wait so long before making an official announcement. The structure was almost completely finished before Cedar Point issued a press release with specifics. It would be beneficial to be able to keep that statement in the article.—JlACEer (talk) 20:24, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

- Support per nom. Epicgenius (talk) 15:22, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- Support – Revamped/refurbished rides with a name change, such as Steel Vengeance and New Texas Giant, result in a move to the new name. We should do the same here. Sourced information about the change should be added to the article prior to the move, however. --GoneIn60 (talk) 15:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
