[edit] NPOV
"Exciting ride for all?" Is it? Really? Zachkchk 07:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
This has to be the dumbest use of NPOV tags I have EVER seen. --Aika 13:52, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, the offending sentence appears to have been removed. I am removing the tag. A mcmurray 00:54, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Awkward phrase?
| “ | the oldest and first chute ride ever built | ” |
Surely the above is pleonastic if not tautologous? If a ride is the oldest of its kind then surely, by implication, it's the first ever built, and vice-versa.
Methinks this phrase should be reworked. 193.122.47.170 18:32, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Log Flume != River Caves
As I've already noted on the talk page for River Caves, river-caves rides are (IMO and IME) not indoor log-flume rides:
- River-caves rides date back to the early 1900s (IIRC the Blackpool one opened in 1905), log-flumes only to 1963 (so it could perhaps be correct to say that log flumes are outdoor river-caves rides, but not vice-versa)
- Log-flume rides are essentially rollercoasters built using aqueducts instead of tracks; river-caves rides are typically gentle rides past a series of tableaux (the Blackpool one depicts the wonders of the world, as did several others I've been on). There may be a minor thrill element, but I've never known such an element to be a major part of the ride.
