Comments
edit- There is no reference anywhere in the article supporting this statement in the lead section of the article: "Millennium Force's tagline is "The future is riding on it.""
- Fixed.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:45, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Reference #6 is not working. I "played" with the URL and it looks like if you remove the "http://", the link will then work. Change that.
- That's interesting, it's the opposite with me. It works on my iPad but when I removed the "http://", it doesn't work. I'll just try to find another source for that.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- I found another red in the article that supports that.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:47, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- The statement, "Millennium was repainted for the first time in the 2011 and 2012 season.[6] New LED lights were also installed for the 2012 season.[7]", could be changed to something like this: "For the first time in Millennium Force's history, the entire layout of the roller coaster was repainted during the 2011 and 2012 season. New LED lights were also installed around the coaster for the 2012 season."
- Fixed.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:33, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Regarding the Layout section of the article, the reference that is linked to the paragraph (#9) does not mention any numbers of the speed, height, etc. Find a reference that supports this and add it to the paragraph.
- Fixed.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:23, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Regarding the Trains section of the article, reference #10 does not support this statement: "Millennium Force has three trains colored: red, blue, and yellow." These sentences also have no references: "Each seat has an individual hydraulic T-shaped lap bar and seat belt across the rider's lap. The seat belt must be fastened before securing the lapbar."
- I added refs for the train colors and the hydraulic lap bars and seat belts. However, I left, The seat belt must be fastened before securing the lapbar. I feel like that is common sense as you can't fasten your seat belt if there is a lap bar over it. If you think it should be deleted then I guess it can be, I just couldn't find a source for that besides for experiencing it myself.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:23, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- I hate to say it, but the seat belt part is considered original research.--Dom497 (talk) 00:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- I figured you would say that. It's no problem, I'll just delete it.--Astros4477 (talk) 01:06, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- I hate to say it, but the seat belt part is considered original research.--Dom497 (talk) 00:51, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

- Regarding the Station section of the article, reference #11 does not support this statement, "The station is split up into two platforms, one for unloading and one for loading. Two trains are loading and unloading while the third train is running the course.".
- Fixed.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Regarding the Operation section of the article, reference #11 does not support this statement, "There is no minimum age requirement, but passengers must meet the miniumum height requirement of 48 inches and a maximum of 78 inches to ride." This reference supports the statement previously mentioned.
- Fixed.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- I could not find anything within reference #11 that supported this statement: "Passengers are advised that they must not ride Millennium if they have "a history of recent surgery, heart trouble/high blood pressure, neck trouble, back trouble, or any other condition that may be aggravated by riding, or who are pregnant."
- The ref doesn't specifically say this about Millennium but it says it about all the rides, which obviously included Millennium.--Astros4477 (talk) 22:40, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Regarding the Park records (May 2000/May 2012) section of the article, could you please explain to be what the numbers in brackets mean? Example: Most rides at an amusement park (68/74)
- 68 is the number of rides in May 2000. 74 is the number of rides in May 2012.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Makes sense! Thanks!--Dom497 (talk) 20:39, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- 68 is the number of rides in May 2000. 74 is the number of rides in May 2012.--Astros4477 (talk) 20:30, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- A few more references in the Inspiration section need to be added to help verify some of the statements.
--Dom497 (talk) 20:05, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, I forgot to mention one more thing: "It is different from Millennium Force and Intimidator though because it features different trains, track, mechanics, restraints and uses a chain lift, not a cable lift." has no reference. It shouldn't be hard to find one though.--Dom497 (talk) 11:26, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- I actually couldn't find a reference for that. I'm looking for one of those "Millennium Force vs. Leviathan" articles that websites use to compare coasters but I haven't been able to find one.--Astros4477 (talk) 19:58, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- All you really have to do is use this website, this website, and find websites that show the trains of MF, and lift hill (the POV would do just fine (for the lift hill part) which is already in the article).--Dom497 (talk) 20:39, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
- Done.--Astros4477 (talk) 21:02, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
