Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Unsourced for a very long time. I couldn't find any good sources that could used in a Wikipedia entry, i. e. anything that includes its in-depth description or history instead of a simple definition or passing mention. Even if there was a good source, this would be better off as a part of roller coaster. Aintabli (talk) 18:26, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

 * Comment: I see a number of discussions of portable roller coasters in newspapers:
 * "New portable roller coaster at fair has its ups and downs", The Palm Beach Post, 2009
 * "Fair's portable coaster one of world's largest", The Palm Beach Post, 1982
 * "Old rides at state fair park are being torn down", Oshkosh Northwestern, 1961
 * "It's the best ride...", Great Falls Tribune, 1995
 * Any thoughts on those? Toughpigs (talk) 20:04, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't see much WP:SIGCOV. There is barely any encyclopedic information that could be extracted from them. I've noted two pieces of information that could be cited, the alleged largest portable roller coaster in the United States and their quantity (5), but the sources are quite dated. No justification for a standalone article. Aintabli (talk) 23:06, 11 February 2024 (UTC)


 * 'Delete: Existence is not notability, BEFORE found examples of portable roller coasters, but nothing with WP:SIGCOV about the subject itself meriting its own article. No objection to a consensus redirect, but I don't see it as useful.  // Timothy :: talk  18:49, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not seeing significant coverage. Category:Portable roller coasters covers the rest.  Arbitrarily0   ( talk ) 02:19, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
