I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

This is a decent and informative article. My only quibbles are regarding the use of some phrases that may not be immediately clear to a non-specialist, such as "barrel roll inversion", and that the lead may not adequately summarise the main points of the article. On hold to allow these issues to be resolved. They are quite minor and I may do them myself shortly. SilkTork ✔Tea time 12:04, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

This article contains conflicting information. If the conflicting information is accurate, no explanation is given for the discrepancy.
In the first paragraph, it states that the first drop was 124 feet and that the train reached speeds of 65 mph. The second paragraph, however, states that the first drop was 166 feet and that the train reached speeds of 73 mph. These speeds and heights are both associated with the original wooden coaster, the Rattler, before the ride was converted into the Iron Rattler. If the Iron Rattler only goes 70 mph, it is highly unlikely that the Rattler ever went 73 mph. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:10e0:bae0:f9d5:eda8:7590:b9f4 ( talk • contribs) 18:19, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
It held this title until 1994, when its first drop was shortened from 166 to 124 feet (51 to 38 m), resulting in a reduction of its top speed from 73 to 65 miles per hour (117 to 105 km/h). There are other things that need to be touched up - for instance, the ride experience for the wooden coaster is missing - but I believe none of the issues are so major that there is a need for a GAR at this time. – Epicgenius ( talk) 02:59, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
