Talk:BuzzSaw (roller coaster)

Missing section

Shouldn't there be a Reception section which covers how well the ride has been received by the public? - Shiftchange (talk) 13:29, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes there should. However, due to the lack of reliable sources a reception section like this would not be possible. I could write a section with the following information, but I am not sure whether it would necessarily be sufficient:

• a sparse review from the Gold Coast Bulletin: "the scream machine is certainly a fitting way to describe Dreamworld's newest thrill ride the BuzzSaw"
• how Dreamworld's owners, Ardent Leisure, described the ride following its launch: "successful"
• the number of riders in the first year of operation: 435,000
• how identical rides ranked around the world in the Best Roller Coaster Poll

Much better. Its important because these rides are added to attract people, obviously. Knowing if it succeeds in that respect or if people aren't satisfied by it rounds out the article nicely. Keep up the good work. - Shiftchange (talk) 23:15, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Comments

• Not really a major issue but are there any pictures of the actual ride that can be used in the article?--Dom497 (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

None that are freely available. Themeparkgc  Talk  07:18, 10 June 2013 (UTC)

• The ride no longer the second tallest inversion....now its the third. You might need to change the refs with change as well.--Dom497 (talk) 14:20, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Shouldn't the marketing section be sub-section of the history section?--Dom497 (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Don't use "BuzzSaw" at the beginning of each paragraph in the characteristic section!--Dom497 (talk) 14:09, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• "BuzzSaw's steel roller coaster track is 150 metres (490 ft) in length." - Maybe incorperate this sentance with the firs paragraph in the same section? It doesn't look right when its all alone :( .--Dom497 (talk) 14:16, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

• Be more specific on the roller coaster model. SkyLoop has 5 "sub-models".--Dom497 (talk) 14:18, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
