In the event that anyone else has the opportunity to actually edit this Article, and without being forced into a lengthy discussion, or a purposeful edit-war causing a lock-down of the Article: note that despite assertions in a recent edit to the Cedar Fair article, however, there was no known business operating at this location in 1872-1877, and even Zistel's 1870 attempt could hardly be classified as successful, because there is no actual evidence that his transport service operated for more than a few weeks during that year, while he was simultaneously transporting patrons separately to other Lake Erie destinations. And by 1873 he had sold his steamboat 'Young Reindeer' to a Toledo company, and afterward there were no known transports to Cedar Point, nor was Zistel involved with his prior business, because he was instead busy operating his own new resort, Atlantic Gardens, within Sandusky City. And several sources state that there still was no dedicated transport in 1878 when James West built a bathouse on the CP peninsula, and the only actual contemporaneous mention of West's operation, indicates that West was reducing the rates of his bathingsuit rentals, which would seem to indicate a lull in patronage. But any modern sources which indicate that there were "resort seasons" here between 1872-1877, are simply mistaken or else intentionally misleading. 2607:FB91:100B:2D6C:84D3:617C:5031:C149 ( talk) 02:06, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
the whole purpose of Wikipedia to be the place to find information which other websites don't have- To comment on this quickly. The "point" of Wikipedia, as you say, is to reflect the important details as reported in reliable sources, not to host information that isn't available on other websites. If the source is in print, fine, but Wikipedia should not be reflecting anything that isn't in any reliable sources. However, may I also note that Wikipedia is also licensed under the Creative Commons, while other sites may be copyrighted so, in fact, reflecting information from sources is not the only "point" of Wikipedia. – Epicgenius ( talk) 23:46, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

...a rehab project such as Twisted Colossus allows a park to renovate an aging ride at a reduced cost while marketing the makeover as a "new" ride" (article link). So despite your claim, Twisted Colossus was marketed as a new coaster, and like the others, it should have been. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 17:19, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
so much more easily comprehended by the readers" – If you say so, but I'm not convinced for the same reasons the other examples listed above have just one article. Guess we'll have to agree to disagree. This will likely be my last comment here about it. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 18:01, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
You seem to be misinterpreting the initial complaint. Which was the fact that you yourself are intent on describing this as a "modified" coaster, but self-admittedly without you accessing reliable sources which support your personal viewpoint. 2607:FB91:177A:433B:38B8:60B9:EBF0:2F3B ( talk) 08:55, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

"Docked" needs to be replaced with "anchored". If you're at a dock, you're docked. If you're floating offshore, you're anchored. Master picker of nits here, and old time sailboat sailor. See: "In 1878 James West opened a group of bathhouses near the beach. Although there was no steamboat service, sailboats often docked just offshore." 2600:1700:BF10:69D0:C909:64AA:CAB5:62E ( talk) 17:34, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

The new Wild Mouse coaster will open on 2023 Opening Day. Is it too soon to change CP's coaster total from 15 to 16? I'll wait to see if I hear back from any other editors. I don't wanna cause a fuss by prematurely changing it. Thanks. SummeRStorM79 ( talk) 17:16, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
