Talk:Skydiver (ride)

hang on
A major and favorite carnival ride, on par with the Zipper. Has links to it. Does not fit CSD A1 at all. A fine stub. --Knulclunk (talk) 12:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Notability
There is no indication of notability in this article. Yeah, you may have loved it, think it was a "fine ride" or whatever. We need substantial coverage in independent reliable sources. At the moment, the only "source" is, essentially, a blog. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 20:54, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

Skydiver vs Sky Diver
The Book of Chance by Harold Chance has Skydiver as one word. Where did you find information that Chance Rides used Sky Diver as two words?— JlACEer ( talk ) 15:41, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * It's listed as two words in several sources I came across. One is already cited from a reliable source in the article. and I have yet to add others. 1, 2, 3 are just a few waiting to be inserted. That second one is a technical bulletin, of which I found two others like it, and it may be the most convincing. Sky Diver is the model, but some were probably just named Skydiver as seen in pics online, which may be the reason for the term being used interchangeably in some references. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:40, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, now I'm not so sure. This source from 1979 is a big find, and it lists the ride as "Skydiver". Amusement Today also lists it the same way here, which has been posted on the Chance Morgan website. Guess I should revert those changes! It's just weird that there are so many reliable sources that have it as two words. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:08, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * To me the most compelling source is the book that was written by Harold Chance. I would think he would make sure all the ride names were correct.— JlACEer ( talk ) 21:53, 14 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Unless, of course, the company purposely changed the name at some point. I would expect both Harold Chance and Chance Rides to get the spelling right! Nevertheless, I agree we should change it back for now. --GoneIn60 (talk) 23:27, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
