Lead
Per WP:LINKSTYLE, "When possible, avoid placing links next to each other so that they look like a single link". Not sure if you can work around it, but see if you can.

Get citations out of the lead.

In the infobox, "Steel - Wing Coaster" is wrong. I'm almost positive it should be a "–".

Not necessarily a concern for this review, but is there a better picture out there that shows more of the roller coaster? The one in the infobox just shows (what I'm guessing) a small part of the ride.
Not at this stage. A search for pictures with relevant licensing has returned no results. Themeparkgc  Talk  23:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
That's fine. Just keep a heads up for one if you plan to take this to FA.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

"to discuss Dollywood's 2012 attraction" What's Dollywood? Either wikilink or clarify what it is

"Pigeon Forge Planning Commission" same as above, either wikilink or clarify what the commission is
"Four days later" you never gave a date before, just March 2011, so this part doesn't make sense.

What's a soft-opening? And, why is that hyphenated, but in the infobox it's not?

Ride experience
Change the section name to just Experience, per WP:HEADINGS.

Awesome quote. I like it. Wikilink Dolly Parton, though.

I understand most of the words here, but for someone without roller coaster knowledge it may be tough. I know it may be difficult, but can you explain what a zero-g roll is in the text? Also, it's called a zero-gravity roll, per its article page.

Not yet. Camelback hill is still unexplained.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

"Because the seats are located either on the left or right of the track, a fake eagle is placed on top of each car to add to the theme of the roller coaster." unsourced
 Done I reworded the sentence slightly so it could be sourced. Themeparkgc  Talk  01:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

For #1, why is there "Database Entry"? I don't see it on the link, and not sure why it's in italics.
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  23:49, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
For #2, it's a journal, so {{Cite journal}} should be used. Also, there's 48 pages. Needs a page number (or pages).

For #3, #4, #7, #11, dead link
 Partly done Fixed 3/4 of the links with archives. Themeparkgc  Talk  00:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Okay. That's fine. If you wish to take the article to FA, this would need to be replaced.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
For #5, what makes Coaster101 a reliable source?
Nothing (as far as I can see). I am trying to find a replacement source. If I can't I'll just end up removing that sentence. Themeparkgc  Talk  01:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Alright. Just keep me updated.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
I've decided to remove it. Themeparkgc  Talk  01:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
For #6, remove Press Release and use {{Cite press release}} instead.
 Done Themeparkgc  Talk  00:38, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
For #8, not sure how reliable facebook is, but it's the track's official page, so I can understand. However, the photos don't have a date, so I can't back up the claims.
If you move your mouse over the line that says "Updated over a year ago" you will be given a date of 7 October 2011. This matches the dates on the individual photos if you click on them. Is this enough? Themeparkgc  Talk  00:53, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Yup. That works well.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
For #9, it's a blog. What makes it a RS?

Good work on the article thus far. Once these comments are addressed, I will re-evaluate the article and see where it goes from there. I have this page bookmarked, but if you need to contact me, ping my talk page.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 11:10, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I have resolved the majority of the issues identified above. There are just two points still pending (dates on Facebook and Coaster101). Themeparkgc  Talk  01:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
Great work. Once these final comments are addressed, I'll pass the article.—Michael Jester (talk · contribs) 07:43, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
I believe I have addressed all the comments. Themeparkgc  Talk  01:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
