I'll let you chose how to fix this, but replacing the comma within a semicolon is probably the easiest way. 425: 612:"the thrill of a scenic railway, the fun of a Ferris wheel, and the excitement of the Chute-the-Chutes" - I'd almost go direct quotes here, just to signify that the Chute-the-Chutes is an item known at the time of the quote, since it's a bit of headscratcher just to sling in there.

that the nominator needs to satisfy his QPQ requirement. With that proviso, it is good to go. I think Hook No, 1 is more interesting than the others. Have tweaked it to "36 years." Originally it was "nearly four decades." I think the more precise number is preferable.
653:"and went into operation the next year." - My gut instinct would be to phrase it as "and reopened the next year" to avoid the implication that it was opening for the first time (obviously not true if the user read the rest of the article). Your editorial call here. 939: 675:"A ride on the Wonder Wheel costs 10 credits; the cost of each credit varies depending on how many is purchased, but generally costs $ 1 if purchased individually" - Just to make sure I'm reading this right, this signifies each credit costs $ 1? 545:"it was sold to the Vourderis family, who continues to operate" - Since the family as a unit is the object here, I would think that the singular continue would be the more grammatical form, but I may be wrong. 283: 1051:

You state that Coney Island hand a financial and economic decline. This seems a bit repetitive to me, but maybe you meant something distinct by each one.
