Back in 2001 when it was first open I remember it was once stand up for short time. I can't find info or any record as it was once stand up roller coaster. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.46.203.180 (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Lead is a little light, it should summarise the major aspects of the article.
Is it Wildfire or Wildfire? Infobox and article title need to be italicised if the latter.
Lead says it has a "loop", main body calls it (and links it to) a vertical loop. Be consistent.
"General Statistics" in the infobox should be "General statistics"
Article says a 2-minute ride, the link says 2 minutes, 16 seconds.
"themed.... themed..." touch repetitive.
Under Ride experience you relink hill lift but not cobra roll, need for consistency within the article.
Fill refs out, e.g. ref 11 really has a title of "Amusement Today’s 2005 Golden Ticket Awards", an author name of Tim Baldwin, and with so many pages, you should specify a page or range within the whole article which will assist the reader.
Ref 13 title needs an en-dash rather than a spaced hyphen.

A few minor issues, so I'm putting this on hold for a short period. The Rambling Man (talk) 12:40, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@The Rambling Man: I think I have addressed all of these. Themeparkgc Talk 23:44, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
