"away from the destruction that nemesis causes". - this is talking about the little-known fictional back story behind the nemesis ride (monster, chained down, alien, cult etc) as though it is a real thing that happens. Not good english at all. Saccerzd 13:59, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Edited "History" section to improve readability, remove unnecessary extra links to Alton Towers page. Mainly I changed "incomparable" (it's not) to "unlike any of the others in the park" (which it is). Mswake (talk) 14:32, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Added Copyedit template to history section, due to readability issues. I plan on fixing this over the next couple of days. Also, reorganised talk page slightly Olihawes (talk) 01:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Evident typographical error regarding the opening date: "In early 2002, testing began on one of the world's most technologically advanced rides ever made, and the ride opened on March 2010 at a cost of £15million. It holds the title of one of the most expensive rides jointly with Oblivion at Alton Towers, which was built at a cost of £12 million. Special crash test dummies were brought in to aid with testing. The passengers of the first ride were the manufacturers and the designers. After more adjustments, the ride was open to the public in 2002. It was the later Thirteen roller coaster that opened in March of 2010. Dick Kimball (talk) 15:09, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
This is a bit of a grey area for me. This policy would suggest air; however, this would seemingly disallow this, suggesting Air. Also, since it is an abbreviation for Aerial Inversion Ride we could equally have AIR. I favoured Air because this is what is currently used on the official website and makes the most sense to me (especially when you start a sentence). What are others' opinions?

alt=
tag for the image. It seems like there is no functionality for this, however, in Template:Infobox roller coaster. This template contains a prolific amount of comments about using "ONLY the filename, not a full [[File:]]
link" in images. It looks like you're familiar with this template's functionality. Is there a way to add an alt=
tag for images used in Template:Infobox roller coaster? Thanks! - tucoxn\talk 20:25, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
((!))alt=Some alternative text
right after the file name of the image. I can't think of a good way to express your suggestion though. If you have an idea, feel free to add it. (Side note about the infobox: there are a number of things I want to do to that infobox but I don't have the time at the moment; alt text has been added to my todo list).

Alpen Express isn't fully dedicated. But Kyary Pamyu Pamyu XR-Ride is. Opened the day when Galactica was announced and therefore is the world's first VR Coaster. Please change the mistake in the Galactica article! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Detowu (talk • contribs) 08:47, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
I think air needs a more representative picture that actually features the roller coaster itself. Maybe with the logo as a separate picture below as well.Sl3nderman3006 (talk) 16:52, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Agreed, I can do that when I get at a computer (I'm using my phone here).HiddenHerobrine (talk) 19:34, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
This edit by Red Hot Wax suggests that all riders are now required to wear the VR headsets, whereas reports in the media have suggested otherwise. Is there a reliable source for this change? If so, please provide one and/or discuss here. Otherwise, the edit will be reverted. --GoneIn60 (talk) 19:16, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

The article makes reference to Mitch Hawker's 2012 list of the world's best roller coasters. Why is Mitch Hawker's opinion relevant? Is he notable? – Dyolf87 (talk) 17:34, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
