Terminology

A Rodelbahn ia an Alpine slide? Peter Horn User talk 00:48, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

It's just a toboggan run (on snow). An Alpine slide is similar, but not identical, to a Sommerrodelbahn. The latter has no wheels though AFAIK. --Bermicourt (talk) 05:32, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps you could translate de:Rodelbahn and de:Rodeln into English. Peter Horn User talk 15:18, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure why that would help; de:Rodelbahn is just a dab page for the different uses of the German term and de:Rodeln is their equivalent of our sledding article. I've found out more about the distinction between Alpine slide and Sommerrodelbahn. The former says it uses a "wheeled cart", the latter term apparently covers facilities using toboggans or bobs (i.e. no wheels) as well as "Alpine coasters" that run on rails. --Bermicourt (talk) 16:32, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

In English, the articles bobsled run or sled run do not yet exist but toboggan run does. What if we were to redirect rodelbahn to toboggan run? Peter Horn User talk 18:17, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

OK, toboggan run redirects to toboggan, so I created two more redirects and Rodelbahn now redirects to toboggan. Peter Horn User talk 18:30, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

Area

23,000 m² (2.3 ha) and 2.3 ha (5.7 acres) Peter Horn User talk 17:15, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

23,000 m² (27,508 sq yd) would be more elegant than 23,000 m² (247,570 sq ft). Peter Horn User talk 18:25, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
