Talk:Firehawk (roller coaster)

First GAU System
Stealth (Flying Dutchman prototype coaster) at Paramount's Great America was actually the first Flying Dutchman coaster to use the GAU to raise and recline the seats on the train (having worked at the park that year and seeing the "GAU Up" and "GAU Down" lables on the control panel confirm this).

Fair use rationale for Image:KI Firehawk.jpg
Image:KI Firehawk.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 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 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.

X-Flight's development?
About a month and a half ago, I had stumbled upon an interview concerning Six Flags Worlds of Adventure's X-Flight roller coaster (which at the time was about to open soon). In one section of this interview, Vice President Jack Bateman indicated that park management was considering naming X-Flight after one of DC Comics' characters. However, after issues with the coaster's location, they had decided on a more generic theme. You can see the addition I had made here.

The problem was, the source I had used (a Six Flags Ohio "fan-site") did not meet Wikipedia's reliability requirements. Now, according to the fan-site, this interview was an exclusive story of theirs! So, unless somebody can find a more reliable source that has verified the DC Comics claim, I highly doubt that I could re-insert this information in a more proper manner. Perhaps somebody who knows more about the park could lend a hand? Megalomaniaman (talk) 21:45, 8 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Yes, I was the one who reverted it. Unfortunately, you are right that reinserting it isn't an option until it is picked up by a reliable source. We should strive to keep articles trimmed down to the most important details that aid in the understanding of the article's subject. Generally, the more important a detail is, the more likely it will appear in one or more sources. If that doesn't happen, then it's probably not important enough for Wikipedia. Even in situations where a piece of information is verifiable, inclusion on Wikipedia is not guaranteed. See WP:ONUS for more info. --GoneIn60 (talk) 21:34, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
