announcement. It would seem logical since the highest point was topped off just one month prior, but we can't draw our own conclusions. I hope we can find a source as it was so unusual for any park to wait so long before making an official announcement. The structure was almost completely finished before Cedar Point issued a press release with specifics. It would be beneficial to be able to keep that statement in the article.
190: 281: 914:(and discussion beforehand) indicates roller coasters that are renovated or refurbished utilizing aspects of its previous incarnation should be merged and renamed in a single article. These two attractions share a common history and realistically it is a succession. It should not be a controversial move, but I want to ensure this has support to move at this time given its recent announcement. 589: 1154: 601: 1221:
Feels like the article is minimizing the impact to the person who was injured in 2021. Editorializing and bias can take place by not saying something just as much as it can be by saying something. it would possibly be more accurate to quote a news article from a reputable source, or clarify that the

In any case, in the interest of moving on, I've moved both the "Original manufacturer" and the "Renovated by" into custom fields, so that they display next

shows RMC as the manufacturer, treating it as a brand new ride. For TT2, more than 50% of the original layout remains intact and RCDB still lists Intamin, so it is a different situation. Furthermore, you still haven't commented on the fact that the infobox lists both Intamin and Zamperla already, so

Steel Vengeance has RMC as the manufacturer and not have the original Mean Streak manufacturer. Cedar Point says Zamperla is the manufacturer in this sentence: Top Thrill 2 is currently experiencing an extended closure as Zamperla (the ride’s manufacturer) completes a mechanical modification to the

status. The coaster is still one of only two strata coasters in the world. It is still the second tallest, with the second-highest drop and the third-fastest speed of any coaster in the world. It still has six trains, each painted a different color. It still uses the same hydraulic launch to propel

Did an editor refuse to insert something, or did someone revert you when you tried to improve it? What source did you have in mind? It seems rather accusatory to come right out and say that bias is involved, when in fact, it might have just been overlooked and not noticed. There are multiple solid

My main concern was the tags (I did not see the date they were added, which is my fault). As you know, tags like the citation needed tag can constitute an immediate failure of a good article review, so that is what I was mainly concerned about. I was also thinking that this article could use some

Yes, well, harsh or not, it did call attention to the problem. It's unfortunate that content was added without proper citations. I've located several sources and added them to the article. I'm still trying to locate a source for the structure having been completed shortly after the official
1246:, and the incident was originally described as "serious".In hindsight, once the full effect of the injury was learned weeks or months later, I'm sure a reputable source covering that in more detail could be added to expand that if needed. Let's not overreact or assume anything though; 1222:
incident resulted in brain damage, causing the person to be permanently disabled. ( not to mention a $ 2M settlement IIRC) “Serious” is very generic and the omission of further detail implies that the person fully recovered.
1068:, it still has Intamin listed as the make with a note at the bottom about this. The infobox lists both Intamin and Zamperla in different fields, and this seems like a good compromise. We don't need to pick a winner here. -- 153: 1347: 417: 436: 326: 1084: 1050: 1186: 412: 322: 1387: 1342: 1097:
That's apples to oranges. The entire track was replaced during the construction of Steel Vengeance, going from wood to steel, and it is a completely different layout (100% different). Also,

Also, dropping template code below for future use once a better image becomes available for the infobox. We can insert it into the "Ride experience" section (or some other location):

It's not that simple. Zamperla modified the original ride. They didn't build one from the ground up, meaning they are not the "sole" manufacturer of the ride. If we look at

The infobox image should really capture the launch area as well as both spikes (if possible), but definitely at least one spike with the launch area like the
