Comment - the Infobox attraction template is incorrectly adding the article to amusement park categories. It should use Infobox museum instead. — Brianhe (talk) 02:31, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I've tweaked the intro to acknowledge the second location - I'm not entirely sure that a museum infobox would be appropriate, as when you weigh the two types against each other the attraction box has more relevant options. Thoughts? Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 15:17, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Do you see what I mean @Brianhe:?

The infobox formatting is fine, but the article is still in the category "defunct amusement rides" because you are using {{Infobox attraction}}. I really think he only way to present it correctly is to stack {{Infobox museum}}: probably one for California, one for Louisiana. Brianhe (talk) 17:25, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

I've stacked them up now. I attempted to expand an existing infobox template. Nothing good happened. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 20:38, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Improved formatting a bit. I think formatting is OK now. Article needs a DYK review which I should recuse myself from due to involvement in expansion. — Brianhe (talk) 18:17, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

Brianhe has done so much to help this now that I've added their name to the credits. Article wouldn't be half as good without them. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 12:26, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Interesting article on good sources, offline accepted AGF. Thanks for solving the infobox issue. Hooks are both interesting and sources, I like the original better but would pipe link to Bluebeard, probably better known than the real name. Mentioning Pink Floyd would also be a possibility. I don't think we need the aka of the founder in the second infobox, coords would make more sense there. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:16, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

I've made the changes. Had to email them for the address of the new place but I found the coordinates eventually! Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 19:47, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for that effort! Still suggest as a choice the piped

ALT2: ... that the Museum of Death owns the head of Bluebeard?

all, guess which I prefer ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:56, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

ALT3 proposed: ... that the Museum of Death owns the head of Bluebeard and a Kevorkian suicide machine? — Brianhe (talk) 22:31, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

For my taste, the shorter one hits harder, but I leave it to prep builder,
