Keeping your Arms Up...

[edit]

I just would like to point out that you can ride Titan and Goliath with your arms raised in the arm and still clear the supports. Thanks.

Didnt the titan have an ACCIDENT in 2001 when the people were stuck on top?

Underground Tunnel

[edit]

@JlACEer: You mentioned that tunnels may be above ground, and I understand that's a possibility, but generally not true. Are there tunnels at Six Flags Magic Mountain that are above ground that could confuse the reader? If not, the distinction isn't necessary. Leitmotiv (talk) 17:15, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are many roller coasters with above-ground tunnels, including two at Six Flags Magic Mountain and four at Six Flags Over Texas, so yes, I think the distinction is necessary. As a matter of fact, the Mine Train at Six Flags Over Texas has both an above-ground tunnel and an underwater tunnel, so distinguishing Titan's as underground is a detail that should not be removed. Here are some examples of above-ground tunnels which are very common on hyper coasters; underground tunnels occur less frequently.

Noted, thanks for your reply. Leitmotiv (talk) 17:56, 11 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Leitmotiv: It seems despite this conversation, you are still removing "underground" from other amusement ride articles. This needs to be treated in the context of the amusement park industry as a whole and not something you determine on a park to park basis. The adjective "underground" is often found in front of the word "tunnel" in reliable sources (see examples below):
EPA chief travels to Indy... -- The Indianapolis Star
M-Ocean View Underground Tunnel Expansion... -- SFist
The Wildest New Roller Coaster of 2019 Drops Riders 245 Feet Into an Underground Tunnel -- Newsweek
Since above-ground tunnels are commonly found on roller coasters, removing "underground" isn't an improvement and can actually have the opposite effect. --GoneIn60 (talk) 05:45, 12 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
