Hogwarts Express[edit]

The part listing 'Without Ventilation' is a bias and incorrect. These trains definitely have proper ventilation as outlined by State and Federal Regulation. Air Conditioning is not the same as 'ventilation'. Loss of power will, obviously, result in no AC. Please reword the statement. ^[1] 192.96.192.10 (talk) 11:38, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Spider-Man accident?[edit]

Like I said in the article before. There's this thing I saw on the local news back in 2004 about a girl named Crista Gaskill that passed out from the heat while she was waiting in line for the Spider-Man ride in Islands of Adventure. Does anyone else know anything about this?--69.141.22.41 19:48, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No offense intended towards Ms Gaskill, but passing out from the heat is not a "sigificantly notable" event for inclusion here.SpikeJones 00:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Harry Potter accident?[edit]

I'm (name censored for personal safety, but I'm 12), and I actually experienced a minor technical difficulty after the ride. When we finished the ride, my sister got off, but my and my sisters friend's seat restraint wouldn't come off. I was mostly scared because the seat restraints could of come up while the second ride and we could of fell to our deaths. We safely got out with assistance, and we pressed no charges because it wasn't that major. Plus IDK if this is too major to include. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:3BD8:D030:40D3:B287:ED91:A8E2 (talk) 02:42, 26 March 2016 (UTC) I felt very safe on the rides and I think they're fun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.91.72.54 (talk) 13:07, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Waterworld incident.[edit]

I removed the Waterworld incident added by SpikeJones. Per the lead of the article, This list is not intended to be a comprehensive list of every such event, but only those that have a significant impact on the parks or park operations, or are otherwise significantly newsworthy. The accident did not have a significant impact on the park, and since there was absolutely no coverage in independent and reliable sources, it was obviously not newsworthy. I had actually seen the YouTube video in question before it was posted here and searched in vain for secondary sources that would allow it to be added to the list, but none were found. --Ahecht (TALK

Thank you (I actually wrote that lede originally, so for it to be used to support a revert of my own edit is amusingly appreciated). SpikeJones (talk) 21:25, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
