h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have just finished writing this entry after finding that nobody has written a rollercoaster or theme park entry that was edited. There isn't a massive amount of writing, although I will continue to add to it as often a possible, but I really enjoy rollercoasters and would love to let other people know how good they really are. I have included a link to the site so please let me know what you think guys

Nice start - though perhaps your right that it needs a little more fleshing out. The 'coaster facts were great - though they seem a bit UK-centric - is the Big One truly the fastest in the world?

You need to put the intro into the third person - and it's worth adding that the 'coaster facts (and the examples) are all correct 'at the time of writing' - it's not perma-info...

Keep up the good work...

What's there is nice but the previous post was right in that it needs fleshing out, perhaps a bit on the history of Rollercosters?

the Big One is the tallest in at least Europe, and also the fastest

but worldwide?

No idea.

Well when I went on it, the speakers said 'Welcome to The Pepsi Max Big One, the Tallest, Fastests rollercoaster in the world' and that was only about a month ago so I think yeah, it's 85mph and is joint fastest with space mountain i believe. I know it is UK centred and would like for some Americans to send me some record breakers too please

OK, I've gathered up a whole load of info on history and I put it on the article and changed a few things, I would appreciate it if you would re-evaluate the entry, I hope you like it

Tallest is Steel Dragon at 318 feet in Nagashima Spaland
Mie, Japan 104 feet taller than the Pepsi Max which is the highest in Europe at 214ft. This is also the fastest at 95mph and the longest at 8133 feet. Built this year only so maybe you haven't heard of it yet.

Although the records above only apply to loop tracks

There's a bit too much text all at once now... could you split it into sections?

OK, I've broken it up with a few headings, is that better?

Yup - that's a lot less overwhelming...

(trust the Japanese to be the most insane...)

OK, great, can I get a recommendation or something?

You'll have to wait until a scout comes past who likes your entry enough to recommend it... that can take a while though - be patient...

OK, thanx guys

http://www.h2g2.com/A400320 is an entry on 'hypercoasters' which is also going through peer review. You may wish to combine some of the quite superb writing there with your more general insights.

Chat to the author, and see what happens.

{beats waiting for the scouts to finish breakfast... }

I forgot to mention - the peer review thread is at http://www.h2g2.com/F48874?thread=67439 have fun!

Oh - this got moved to the sin bin because it had no number - I'm sorry that nobody posted an explanation here at the time - we were still very much getting our feet, and somehow or other it slipped through the net.

Never mind - it's a great entry, and it's back in peer review now...
