No evidence that this ride is notable, or even that it is open yet. It did not open for the start of this season as was planned http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/new-ride-at-canada-s-wonderland-not-ready-for-opening-day-1.3390897 This article was redirected to the amusement park pending notability of the ride, but the article creator is aggressively defending it. I think this should remain as a redirect until there are independent reliable refs showing that this ride is in operation and is notable. Meters (talk) 20:38, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Per the article creator's latest edit [1] this ride is not in operation. Meters (talk) 20:42, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:SIGCOV. The only coverage are press releases and some local press.- Mr X 21:28, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - My results showed much the same as MrX, it was either press releases or simply stating that it was down for maintenance. Drewmutt (^ᴥ^) talk 21:33, 17 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. WP is not a platform for advertisements. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:00, 17 June 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Redirect - that's what I initially did and would prefer. For all I know, this might be, or might become, very well-known. Deb (talk) 08:17, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Agreed. It's a viable redirect, with a possibility for a future article. No need to delete. I just brought ti here to end the edit war over the redirect by seeing if there was a consensus for a redirect. Meters (talk) 17:55, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect – The flat ride is not something that will generate a lot of press, since it isn't breaking any records. What little press it might generate over time can be mentioned at Canada's Wonderland in a ride description. It does appear that the ride has been operational this season, but that shouldn't impact whether or not this article exists. Most rides of this mediocre magnitude enter and exit without much of a bang, so as MrX stated, it fails WP:SIGCOV. --GoneIn60 (talk) 02:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYI: I've notified the affiliated WikiProject that there are several AfD discussions involving amusement rides. --GoneIn60 (talk) 02:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
