Comments

 * Add caption to image in infobox
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "There are three trains, each themed to a different precious metal, though only two are in use" add that only two are in use at a given time as stated later in article. Current wording makes it seem that one train is broken or discontinued.
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "Knott's vice president for maintenance and construction at the time, Robin Hall, said he wanted the project to accomplish two goals. According to Hall, the ride would serve as a "billboard" for the park on Beach Boulevard, along the park's eastern boundary, while relocating warehouses to free up space for the new attraction." I'd try to combine these two sentences, right now they don't flow very well.
 * I have combined the sentences, but the sentence is now pretty long. I agree the sentences were pretty clunky, but that might've been because the wording "accomplish two goals" is redundant, rather than because these are two sentences. Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "but the ride ultimately reopened on June 11" add year (2016)
 * Done. Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "The ride's official backstory involves a Union Army soldier who moved to a California mining town during a gold rush. in pursuit of gold" Remove unnecessary period.
 * I've fixed this by rewording the sentence. Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
 * "The ride's station is three stories high and is themed to a mining company's building" to "The ride's station is three stories high and is themed as a mining company's building"
 * I have fixed this now. I think I got a couple of ideas mixed up in my head when writing this - the station is themed to mining, and it is designed to resemble a mining-company building. Epicgenius (talk) 17:20, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Overall very informative and well written article.--23:49, 25 October 2022 (UTC)Newtothisedit (talk)
