This is the first article I read that actually looks great! I am entering this with no complaints. In my opinion, this should have been nominated for FA Mike  2  8  9  17:38, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
 * This not a review, promotion reverted. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:17, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Reviewer: Shiftchange (talk) 01:39, 28 August 2011 (UTC) The lead needs to be expanded to include key facts, see WP:Lead. I would like to know how well it has been received by the public. Has it been popular, are there any criticisms, third party reviews, etc. Other than that it is a nice article, detailed, well sourced, good photos and follows proper formatting. I would fail this nomination until these matters have been attended to.


 * I've added a reception section to the article that highlights as much information that I can reliably source. There was one incident however that I haven't included because I would like a second opinion. In October 2008, a paralympian was stopped from going on the rides due to his prosthetic leg. Articles can be found here, here, here, here and here. Is this incident worth mentioning since I am sure would have happened at several other amusement parks and water parks around the world to other people who didn't receive the media attention? Finally, I will further expand the lead over the coming days. Themeparkgc   Talk  06:16, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I would add a sentence or two about the paralympian as it was covered by multiple sources and the topic of a disabled person's access carries significance more generally. - Shiftchange (talk) 07:25, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Any ideas of where to put a statement about it? In the reception section (with a focus on the park being critised for it and them defending it) or somewhere else? Themeparkgc   Talk  07:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Possibly in the History section as it was an incident that occurred in the past. - Shiftchange (talk) 08:07, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I have made the changes you have suggested (including expanding the lead). Is there anything else that could be improved? Themeparkgc   Talk  09:54, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't see anything expect for the addition of the year to image captions, but I don't think that is in the GA criteria. I haven't done too many GA reviews nor worked on an article to that level before. I think it is now a GA (excellent work) but a few other opinions would be best. - Shiftchange (talk) 10:39, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
