 * Optional, but maybe there could be another picture of the ride outside of the infobox?-- Dom497 ( talk ) 23:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

 * "Following the roll, the train makes a left turn before going through an Inline twist. During this element, when the train is on a 90-degree angle, riders go through a fake control tower, giving the illusion the train will hit the tower." - Work in something that mention's the word "keyhole".-- Dom497 ( talk ) 00:00, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Surley there's got to be some reviews of the ride. Also, did the coaster win any GTA awards?-- Dom497 ( talk ) 00:00, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I just did a Google News Search of past and present and couldn't find any reviews of the ride. Also, it did not win any GTA awards.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 19:43, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Found some reviews here, here, here (somewhat of a review), and here.-- Dom497 ( talk ) 19:53, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Where'd you find the news article reviews? Those didn't show up in a search anywhere.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 00:32, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 00:58, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * All I did was a google search of "x-flight six flags great america reviews".-- Dom497 ( talk ) 03:32, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll try that next time. Anyway I responded to all your comments.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 04:44, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * You can include more info in the lead such as the soft opening and opening of the coaster and what rides it replaced.-- Dom497 ( talk ) 00:01, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 01:37, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Another thing would to check if there are any other reliable sources that talk about the construction timeline. Just having facebook as a reference in the entire section isn't quite what I would like.-- Dom497 ( talk ) 00:04, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I haven't been able to find anything else. I think it's ok because it's just offering facts on construction.--  Astros 4477  ( Talk ) 00:58, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I agreed from the beginning, I just wanted you to see if there were any other refs then just facebook.-- Dom497 ( talk ) 13:28, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
