- Interesting:
- Other problems:
- I think the general public may find both hooks interesting. However, speaking as a fan of roller coasters and particularly as a fan of RMCs, this doesn't strike me as particularly unique, since RMC did something similar for Twisted Colossus; it may be more effective if this was one of a few such conversions in the world. These other facts, on the other hand, are also interesting:
- It took seven years to convert Gwazi into Iron Gwazi
- Gwazi was Florida's first dueling wooden roller coaster
- If you wish, perhaps you can propose additional hooks and I can review these hooks as well. Otherwise, I can just approve ALT0 and ALT1.
| QPQ: None required. |
Overall: 
@Adog: Very nice work on this article - it makes me look forward to riding Iron Gwazi even more. Since this is your fifth DYK nomination, you do not have to perform a QPQ. I only had one concern about this nomination, but it's relatively minor. Epicgenius (talk) 01:29, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Ah, it is good to see you around. I saw you promote Coney Island a while back, a monumental task. I appreciate the comments, I'll still review one anyhow, and yes it is definitely worth a ride (and several more after). Anywho, concerning the actual review, I was thinking of your first suggestion but left it off initially. Some more could be included:
- ALT2: ... that it took seven years before Gwazi, a pair of dueling wooden roller coasters, was refurbished into the hybrid roller coaster Iron Gwazi? Source: Tampa Bay Times Bay News 9
- ALT3: ... that Busch Gardens Tampa Bay chose Great Coasters International to build Gwazi based on an executive's 17-day trip with his family of different amusement parks? Source: Tampa Bay Times St. Louis Post-Dispatch
- ALT4: ... that the original dueling wooden roller coaster, Gwazi, opened a month after Dueling Dragons, another dueling roller coaster in Florida? Source: Tampa Bay Times
- I do not have a preference to any hook, whichever seems most interesting to you or others. Adog (Talk・Cont) 03:06, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
All of these hooks look good to me, though I prefer ALT2 and ALT3. Everything is good to go now. (On a side note, yeah, Coney Island was a really difficult article to rewrite, but I'm glad you liked it. And I'm looking forward to several rides on Iron Gwazi in the near future...)
