Talk:Galactica (roller coaster)

message: "away from the destruction that nemesis causes".  - this is talking about the little-known fictional back story behind the nemesis ride (monster, chained down, alien, cult etc) as though it is a real thing that happens.  Not good english at all.   Saccerzd 13:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Edited "History" section to improve readability, remove unnecessary extra links to Alton Towers page. Mainly I changed "incomparable" (it's not) to "unlike any of the others in the park" (which it is). Mswake (talk) 14:32, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

message: I think air needs a more representative picture that actually features the roller coaster itself. Maybe with the logo as a separate picture below as well.Sl3nderman3006 (talk) 16:52, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

message: This edit by Red Hot Wax suggests that all riders are now required to wear the VR headsets, whereas reports in the media have suggested otherwise. Is there a reliable source for this change? If so, please provide one and/or discuss here. Otherwise, the edit will be reverted. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:16, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Since there has been no response in 24 hours, I've reverted the article to the previous version. Without a reliable source that verifies the claim that VR is required, we should leave in place what we know from press releases and media reports. --GoneIn60 (talk) 18:45, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

message: The article makes reference to Mitch Hawker's 2012 list of the world's best roller coasters. Why is Mitch Hawker's opinion relevant? Is he notable? – Dyolf87 (talk) 17:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The wood coaster poll was notable at one time. The steel coaster poll never really gained much traction. It was cumbersome and timeconsuming and too many potential respondents shied away from it. Some also discovered that it was easy to skew the results. It has been removed from most roller coaster pages.—JlACEer (talk) 19:12, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  Then I would argue that it has no place on the Galactica page. It's a rating from 2013, quickly approaching a decade ago. It adds no real value and is not encyclopaedic. – Dyolf87 (talk) 08:06, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: See WT:WikiProject Amusement Parks/Archive 2#Mitch Hawker's roller coaster polls - RS? (and keep in mind it's an archived thread that shouldn't be modified). That poll isn't reliable, regardless of the notoriety it may have had at one time. Following that discussion, editors began removing the poll from roller coaster articles. Occasionally, you come across one where the poll was reinstated or simply missed during the purge. I see no reason to keep it at this point. --GoneIn60 (talk) 08:21, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
