Article title

There is nothing wrong with the title of this article being "Green Lantern Coaster". There is no other ride named "Green Lantern Coaster" so disambiguation is unnecessary. If any reader ends up at this page, there is already a hatnote which points them to the disambiguation page listing other "Green Lantern" roller coasters such as those at Great Adventure and Magic Mountain. Themeparkgc Talk 23:30, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, I'd argue that this article is the primary topic over the other two Green Lantern roller coasters as it is a current world record holder. Themeparkgc Talk 23:36, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the green lantern is no longer a world record holding coaster I would like to recommend that the name of this article be changed to "Green Lantern Coaster (Warner Bros. Movie World)". The other coasters of similar names "Green Lantern: First Flight (Six Flags Magic Mountain)" and "Green Lantern (Six Flags Great Adventure)" do not share the same name however have the park name after the coaster to help identify the roller coaster --Otchiman (talk) 04:16, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I still oppose this. The only reason why there are disambiguatory brackets on those two articles is because there are articles already named Green Lantern and Green Lantern: First Flight. Since there is no article called simply Green Lantern Coaster (apart from this one) I don't see why the disambiguation is needed. Themeparkgc Talk 22:35, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

There seems to be a lot of Facebook refs...--Dom497 (talk) 01:39, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

All of these are from the park themselves. It's not like I am referencing John Smith who posted something. Themeparkgc Talk 08:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I guess.--Dom497 (talk) 00:10, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The coaster's seven trains double the capacity of the traditional El Loco ride from 4 seats per train to 8 seats per train." - Needs ref showing that the other models had 4 seats per train. Also, I don't think concept art is the best to go by.--Dom497 (talk) 01:39, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Concept art was really a remnant of the article at an earlier time. Fixed the ref. Themeparkgc Talk 08:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Riders are harnessed to the ride through the use of lap bars and seat belts" - How does this show a seatbelt? And again, is there a better ref somewhere on the internet other than concept art .--Dom497 (talk) 01:39, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the bit about seat belts and added a new citation for the lap bars. Themeparkgc Talk 08:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"The queue begins adjacent to the DC Store, opposite Batwing Spaceshot." - Ref?--Dom497 (talk) 01:46, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Added the park map ref. Also, the park map ref relates to the actual park map from inside the park as the one online isn't as detailed (and thus isn't linked). In reality though, per WP:CHALLENGE would anyone really challenge this information? Themeparkgc Talk 08:00, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you that that the physical map is more detailed so now I wouldn't challenge that.--Dom497 (talk) 12:56, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Upon the completion of the ride, guests exit via a path that runs under the lift hill and alongside the park's boundary before returning to the DC Store." - The park map nor the other ref really show/explain this.--Dom497 (talk) 01:46, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've added another source that supports part of the exit pathway. See above regarding the park map. I feel WP:CHALLENGE would also apply here. Themeparkgc Talk 08:00, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Any reception from enthusiasts, riders, etc?--Dom497 (talk) 01:46, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Only the typical forum reviews which of course can't be included in a GA. Themeparkgc Talk 08:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No GTA?--Dom497 (talk) 01:49, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. GTAs typically go to American rides with the occassional international ride thrown in. Themeparkgc Talk 08:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The lead seems just a little bit short. Maybe expand it a bit?--Dom497 (talk) 01:50, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've expanded it a bit. Is this sufficient? Themeparkgc Talk 08:06, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yup!--Dom497 (talk) 00:10, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good work; all comments addressed!--Dom497 (talk) 12:56, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
