Marth The Hero King, When a ride is closed for maintenance or even for repairs, if the amount of time is indefinite and generally considered short-term, then we usually don't track that on Wikipedia. Major repairs that are covered in the media (by more than one reliable source) will generally be listed in the article. However, this shouldn't change the status from operating to closed, unless the closure spans a significant amount of time and is receiving a lot of press coverage. Currently, that's not the case with the September 2017 incident, which hasn't even been confirmed by the park. Speculation should be kept to a minimum and will undergo heavy scrutiny.
Other editors at the project have brought this up many times in the past, and one of the most recent discussions is here:
I'm almost tempted to remove the speculation altogether, as it's not really beneficial to the article at this point. Wikipedia isn't a travel guide or a newspaper. Temporary closures and minor incidents that may be covered in those are not necessarily appropriate for an encyclopedia. -- GoneIn60 ( talk) 21:18, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
This article needs some updating. JParksT2023 ( talk) 14:11, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: page moved. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 16:34, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Top Thrill Dragster → Top Thrill 2 – Precedence from Talk:Iron Gwazi#Requested move 17 September 2019 (and discussion beforehand) indicates roller coasters that are renovated or refurbished utilizing aspects of its previous incarnation should be merged and renamed in a single article. These two attractions share a common history and realistically it is a succession. It should not be a controversial move, but I want to ensure this has support to move at this time given its recent announcement. Adog ( Talk・ Cont) 13:00, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
