Mandarax: That would be fine with me. If it turns out that this can't be used as an April Fools' DYK, I'm OK with changing "hurricane" to uppercase as well, e.g. "that someone once paid $750 to enjoy the Hurricane".

Adequate sourcing: - I'm concerned that Roller Coaster DataBase and the YouTube video aren't reliable enough to merit inclusion of the content they source?
Cited: - The Orlando Sentinel explicitly attributed the Playboy tidbit to Goodwin, a lawyer for the park. I'm not sure that's good enough to use unattributed in this article. The Sun-Sentinel source for ALTs 2–4 on the weddings/television episodes keeps redirecting me to their main page, so i'll accept it in good faith.
Interesting: - dinging ALT6, the rest are good. My favourite is suggested below, but barring that, I like ALTs 3 and 5, especially for April Fools' :)
@
Theleekycauldron: Thanks for the review. ALT7 sounds fine to me. I've removed the RCDB ref, even though it was only being used to cite basic statistics. Unfortunately, since the ride has been demolished, the YouTube ref (which is a front-row POV of the ride) is probably the only source that can be used to describe the ride experience. Ride POVs have been used as sources in multiple roller coaster GAs (e.g.
Iron Gwazi,
Tigris) and FAs (e.g.
Millennium Force), so I thought a ride POV would also be acceptable as a source here.
