 * Note: Modified my opinion. See below. Smerge and redirect to Century Theatres where it is spoken of in detail and context to this media being created by that company in response to IMAX. While Triotech Amusement may take advantage of the techonolgy (their article may be at AFD soon), we can send readers to that of the creator of the technology. IF the article's advert tone is addresed and it umakes use available sources, I'll reconsider.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 02:27, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Triotech Amusement, the company that appears to have created the technology. Northamerica1000 (talk) 22:13, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: Modified my opinion. See below. The Triotech Amusement article has little content and seems itself ready for AFD. While they used this technology to create "their motion simulators such as XD Theater and Jett Rider", it appears that Century Theatres actually created the tecnology.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 23:05, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note: Modified my opinion. See below. To clarify... my thought here is that while a redirect to Triotech Amusement as creator of the amusement ride is reasonable, THAT article itself appears to fail WP:CORP and if or when deleted we'd have left a redirect hanging which would itself likely be deleted through cleanup. IF the Triotech Amusement article were stronger and better sourced, I would tend to agree.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 19:41, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps we can take the time to TRY to improve the article. If that's not possible, then we would need to redirect Triotech and XD Theater to Century Theatres. Whenaxis (talk) 21:58, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Note to adminstrator: Please leave this AfD open until the edit revamp is complete. Whenaxis (talk) 21:57, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge to Triotech Amusement as the proposed target article is being improved and sourced. I am now okay with a smerge to Triotech.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 04:16, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment - From the Triotech Amusement website, brochure for the XD Theater attraction, which the article is about: "Triotech – Redefining immersive experiences. Again, it appears that merging to Triotech Amusement would be the best fit, as it appears that Triotech invented the technology. While there is a section in the article about XD theaters, it's not the article's primary focus. Northamerica1000 (talk) 04:18, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
 * As per the continued edits on Triotech Amusement, I agree with MichaelQSchmidt. Whenaxis (talk) 21:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
